What is BLACKWOOD?
BLACKWOOD is a single-player cinematic third-person action thriller developed by AttritoM7 Productions and published by IZilla Games. Set in Brooklyn and the wider New York setting of 2012, players control Anton Blackwood, a DVD store owner by day and contract killer by night.
The game's defining feature is its double-life structure. Players manage the DVD store and everyday finances during the day, then prepare weapons, accept contracts, and fight through dangerous encounters after dark using responsive gunplay, grounded melee combat, and contextual takedowns.
