About This Game

Uncover Hidden Histories

Blackhaven is a first-person 3D narrative game where players take the role of Kendra Turner, a sophomore interning at the Blackhaven Hall Historical Society, the site of a ruined 18th century mansion, burned during a spectacular Revolutionary War battle, and the home of Thomas Harwood, an American Founding Father. As Kendra follows her curiosity though the museum’s exhibits and archives, she finds cracks in Blackhaven’s official story and uncovers a trail of secrets and misdeeds that spans centuries and may determine her future.
