About Blackhaven
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.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I have a mid-high performance gaming laptop, and i was struggling to run this game on even minimum graphics settings. it's a decent story for the two or so hours it's meant to take, but the fact that it took me nearly four hours of lag spike hell was enough to really put me off the concept alltogether.1 found this helpful
Boring, tedious, buggy, unrewarding, and unimpressive. the story is not even all that good and this is a game that has literally no gameplay features or mechanics other than looking at and reading things for said (bad) story.1 found this helpful
I really enjoyed the story. I can't really say it was a "fun" game, but it was informative and interesting, and sometimes I'm more in the mood for this kind of experience. I'd recommend it to others who can also enjoy a more educational game. Also, it ran fine for me, I didn't have any of the performance issues some others mentioned.
I played for 20 minutes and was bored out of my head so I quit. I came back, reread the reviews; thinking maybe I just was too hasty. So I tried again... And again... And again... Oh did I mention that I tried again? I did? Well, let me tell ya that I even tried AGAIN... My system isn't the greatest but c'mon. I kept crashing. Normally, I wouldnt take issue with that but there IS NO SKIP BUTTON... Or did I miss it like I missed most of the story I didnt get to play becauseIwascrashingallthedangtime? ksd jfkjdfhg ldjksfgh sdjkfgh Yeah, I did not try again... Seriously, the tiny parts I did get to see seemed pretty cool. Long winded history lesson but cool, nonetheless.
Should not have been a game but rather a visual novel. As a game it was poorly thought out and extremely unoptimized. The UI was also kind of mediocre with the settings "sliders" being the biggest example for me. Story was fine but a decent story can only take a game so far as the gameplay was incredibly boring.
it crashed and deleted my save file. Ruined my day. Ui is not user friendly. Save and exit doesn't actually save anything. The only actual gameplay was just walking around, despite there being opportunities to include other types of gameplay.
