Stand by me.

<span class="bold">Blackwood Crossing</span>, a first-person adventure about two orphaned siblings navigating a world of aggressive imagination, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com.

There is a distance growing between Scarlett and Finn, a rift that feels as frightening as it is unavoidable. After getting inexplicably drawn into a magical world filled with frightening secrets, Scarlett must reconnect with her brother before the realities of adolescence pull them further apart.

Watch the trailer.

Looks interesting... wishlisted... but with activity happening elsewhere behind the scenes

This is not the release I was looking for...

Wow, the trailer looks awesome. Not sure, if I can afford it right away, but I will definitely pick it up soon.

The premise and trailer got me curious, but I can't afford it right now. And I wanna check reviews before I plunge in. To the wishlist it goes.

This game was highly praised for it's story at GameStar.de.
They said, it's a short but very emotional and memorable experience.
Thanks GOG for getting all the new adventure games that are worthwhile.

Heard/seen about it. May be interested but not before reviews and a cut (as it's regionally priced - getting way too many of these :().

Was just about to get it, until I read in the steam forums that it's yet another anti-rebindable game which is an infuriating trend with indie titles nowadays...But if I can rebind via ini/config file, then it's an insta-buy!

Those "waiting" for a review, the game went live on Steam on April 5th, so there are many out there already.

On the other side you could just trust me - if you'd wish to. The game is indeed of a shorter type, might have slightly passed 4-5 hours as I finished it. A game you probably won't play a second time, for two reasons: the story is strictly linear, tho with room for interpretation, but the narrative is superb and therefore ("sadly") highly memorable.

So if you prefer a good - and well-told - story over gameplay this is worth giving a shot.

This is in no means a review but a short overview of what you can or can not expect of the game.

May wait for a sale, but I'll pick this up at some point. Looks interesting... and looks like a good game for the kids to play.

I've read some criticism on Steam that this game makes you feel the absence of interesting gameplay due to slow walking speed with the player having to walk to and fro. It seems the reviewer was familiar with and generally not opposed to "walking simulators" and loved the graphics and setting, but was still disappointed by the gameplay and thought it would have been more suited for different media, not games. How did you experience it? Are there any games you can compare the gameplay to? And I've also read that the time spent with the game is too short to treat its subject seriously and develop a satisfying story that would have made the user fully care for the characters. But it seems you have a different opinion on that?

I definitely want to buy and play it, I'm just wondering at what price. :)

I take it this is nothing like Nintendo's Animal Crossing series.

Any word on Linux or OSX versions?

Does it run under WINE?

This release slipped past me. Looks very good wish listed and I'll see if daughter wants it.
