The Blackwell series of adventure games are one of the finest modern members of the point & click genre, and the mind behind them all – Dave Gilbert – has recently announced his return with a brand new project of his own. In Unavowed, you are saved after six months of being possessed by a demon, and join an ancient society devoted to fighting beings of darkness. The game is developed as Gilbert’s first original IP since 2006’s Blackwell Legacy, and will offer a number of RPG-like features such as the choice between a male or a female protagonist, varying origin stories, companion characters and a branching plot. Gilbert is co-designing the storyline alongside Jennifer Hepler of Bioware fame, who had previously worked on the Dragon Age series.
Unavowed is due out in 2017.
