Mandala and Logan both value progressive action and widening perspective within ethical limits, while Eli and Vicki place more faith in family bonds and keeping one’s feet directly in the present to deal with the current problem. Not only does every single character, even the most minor, ooze personality, everyone with significance in the story has a thematic reason for being there and what they represent. Unavowed‘s story is a strong one, which is to be expected with Gilbert’s strong handling of character. She was your character’s former partner if they were a cop. She’s the most blunt and direct member, able to help converse with cops due to her cop family experiences and uses her firearm when you need something opened. Vicki – A detective who survived a mass shooting and ended up joining the team upon helping solve a case on Staten Island. Your character knows him beforehand if they were a bartender, and his spirit guide is Kaykay, the little girl Joey and Rosa helped move on in Blackwell Epiphany. He joins after a case in the Bronx and is the most level headed and empathetic member, making him perfect for conversing with ghosts. Logan – A spirit medium and recovering alcoholic. He’s very emotional, deeply believing in the importance of family and values the humanity of himself and others, trying to keep everyone anchored.

Very goal focused but collected and sides with decisions that preserve the norm or help wronged supernatural beings.Įli – The second most senior field agent, a fire mage with incredible destructive power, plus a nifty trick that lets him read burned documents. Mandana – The most senior field agent, a half-human, half-genie warrior who uses her pirate mother’s sword skills and physical ability on the field. From there, you work with the team to solve cases and discover the plans of your demon, who managed to sneak away during the exorcism. You’ve been out of it for one year, and due to being wanted for your demon’s many murders, you are recruited into the Unavowed, secret guardians of New York City who deal with the supernatural. You play through a flashback that shows how a demon possessed you, changing with the profession you picked, and then are freed of the demon in present time. The game starts with an exorcism, as you are asked questions to define your player character, including gender, name, and one of three professions. It also tries to introduce RPG elements into the tried and true point and click formula, and it works. Unavowed changes the tone, and despite introducing some of the darkest elements and largest stakes in his entire library, it ultimately wants to leave you smiling. The big difference this time is that The Shivah wanted you to think and reflect, and Blackwell wanted to tug at your heart strings. That finally changed with Unavowed, another entry in his connected New York stories and a sort of spiritual successor to what came before. They’ve been busy, but Gilbert hasn’t touched his Blackwell universe in quite some time. Since, Wadjet Eye has helped produce three of the best point and click adventure games in the past decade, plus some of the studio talent has helped out on projects like Kathy Rain and The Charnel House Trilogy. It’s been four years since Dave Gilbert last directed a game with the fantastic Blackwell Epiphany.
