Following the events of the Blackwell Convergence, Rosa and Joey keep doing what they do best; now in a professional context. Our little girl has business cards and all: Rosangela Blackwell, Spiritual Consultant. They do not pace the streets of New York in hopes of finding a case anymore. The case comes and finds them, alongside the trouble attached, of course. Following their recent fiasco - and a particularly unlucky trip to New Jersey - Rosa receives a phone call from an old colleague she had, - back from when she was working for The Village Eye - Jeremy Sams. Apparently, Jeremy now works for The City Post as a reporter and needs Rosa's assistance to either make or break the case he's been working on. Unbeknownst to her, Rosa shall uncover a truth so grim, nothing will ever be the same. Not for her, not for Joey... not anymore.
I recall describing the previous games with certain genres in my review for the Blackwell Convergence. I'd like to keep my tradition and describe the Blackwell Deception as the season finale for your favorite TV series. It drives you to the point that you bite on your fingers, expecting for the grand climax you are about to face, then... you realize that there shall be a next season for your questions to be answered, so you are left high and dry, craving for more! The aspects of Rosa's ability, the so-far carefully shrouded past of Joey, their omnipresent yet mysterious bond, the subtext of Madeleine's intentions, the nature of our former villain, the Countess' madness, the presence of a cult tangled with supernatural forces: they are all scattered as bird crumbs for you to follow!
Our already familiar characters now completed their evolution and possess full-fledged personalities. Rosa is strong, real and persistent. She takes shots, makes calls and chases leads just like old Lauren Blackwell did. As a completely differentiating factor, she never dismisses the contents of her own heart. Nothing would make Miss Blackwell a people's person, but Rosa is still a humanitarian. When someone she cares is hurt, it gets personal. Joey, on the other hand, seems more than an omnipresent source of sarcasm and displeasure now. He cares not only for Rosa, but for many others and tries to suppress the haunting voice of his own consciousness to take the next step ahead. He gets involved in Rosa's life aside from their business, more than ever.
As far as gameplay goes, this game is the combination of all others so far. Combining clues interface is back - with Rosa's phone becoming handier - and puzzles get a bit more item oriented. With some attention to environment and some key words that people keep mentioning, you'll flow through the game. Dialogue puzzles are my favorites to tell the truth, making the people that they work on lively, real and deep. This is also the game that you use Joey to his full potential, more interactively alongside Rosa. Commentary and bloopers are joyful options that we anticipate now. Graphics are also at their best display possible for the given art style. The art used for the Void between worlds keeps getting more beautiful in each game, I wonder what Dave Gilbert's team will come up with for the last installment.
Am I creating suspense, or not? Well, this is the whole idea. This whole game is present to create the suspense needed for the last chapter of the series. Countless mysteries are coming to explanation with only the biggest of questions persist, to prepare you to the last big step: the Blackwell Epiphany, the last installment of the remarkable Blackwell series.

Pros:
>Interesting Characters
>Pretty Decent Story
>Voice Acting is good
>Gameplay is simple and so is the the interface
>Graphics look great for 8bit
Cons:
>Short
Overall it is a pretty good point and click game but do not expect to much from it. If your looking for a quick and easy game to enter the point and click genre this is probally a good choice. Not most exciting point and click but good enough 5/10

Rosa has now even more fully entered the Digital Age and has a mobile phone! This is great because you can check email and search ‘Oogle’ without needing to return home every time. Along with this, her notes have transferred to being kept in her phone, and the combining/linking clues to move forward the plotline is back (apparently, according to the game commentaries, due to backlash over its removal in the previous game). Joey’s ‘wind’ ability and tie are now part of his inventory, which is awesome for allowing more player control in furthering the story. There are many puzzles Rosangela and Joey have to work together to solve, using their unique abilities and helping the other overcome limitations.
On my first playthrough, I did experience some frustration with getting stuck. After playing through again with the commentary, the problems with flow are probably mostly due to the major script changes that occurred during development. For example, there is one puzzle in particular that is easy to screw up the first time, and although it’s not a case of Dead Man Walking, the way to reset is so unclear that I wasn’t sure of that at first. I also get incredibly weirded out by the 8-month-old walking baby.
The jazzy sax soundtrack always sets the tone for the noir detective vibe, and it is clear from the commentary how much care, purpose, and deliberation went into the retro art style. Despite its flaws and the foreshadowing that ends up not coming to pass in the next game, I still find it a thoroughly enjoyable game that is higher in quality than many of its peers and a worthy installment in the Blackwell series.

If you've come this far in the series, you're likely invested in Rosa and Joey's journey. Deception continues to develop the relationship between Rosa, Joey and their connection to the spirit world.
The art and I would say even the gameplay are even better than the previous game. It appears the portraits were updated at some point because the current pictures on Steam are the old ones.

The artwork is really good, as well as the soundtracks. Rosa now can use her phone to look up information and read emails, she also keeps notes which she can combine to get a new clue. The map is like the previous games and the voice over is still as good as before.

The puzzles are logical, some of them are difficult, and if you are after achievements you need to do things in a certain way to get them. I have to mention that in this game we get some background story about Joey which is pretty interesting, I'd love to learn more about his life, I hope they will reveal more about him in the fifth game.

Pros:
+Very good story.
+Beautiful soundtracks.
+Well-done voice over.
+Beautiful and detailed pixel art +Nice characters portrait
+Fast travel map.
+Manual + Automatic save files.
+Hinting system (Asking Joey what to do next)
+Steam achievements.
Cons:
- When you Alt+Tab the game crashes, it happened to me multiple times that I even had to restart my PC.
This game felt just right and the ending of it really good, I wonder what will happen in the next and final game of the series. Highly recommended.
