Blackwood: Act One launches with John Wick-style combat and DVD store sim mechanics

AttritoM7 Productions has released Blackwood: Act One on Steam, a hybrid action-life sim set in 2012 where players run a DVD rental store by day and carry out stylized gunfights by night. The roughly six-hour first act is priced at $25 (10% off until September 23) and includes access to two additional acts slated for 2027. Early impressions note clunky combat, shaky audio, and poor car handling despite promising ideas like weapon customization and Max Payne-inspired bullet time.
