KEY FEATURES

  • A modern re-imagining of the acclaimed gothic-horror adventure series

THE STORY

"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."
Edgar Allan Poe

David Gordon never knew his estranged father particularly well. Still it comes as a shock when he is summoned to his family's ancestral home in the Scottish highlands, after his father has taken his own life there. David does not know much about his father's final weeks, but the circumstances of his death seem more than peculiar. Settling the heritage is merely an excuse for David to find out more about the castle his father grew up in, meeting the family he never knew and for shedding light on the mysteries surrounding his father's death.

Tormented by nightmares and waking dreams for all his life, he fears that it might be his destiny to follow in his father's footsteps, down a path that leads to madness and death.

Is there really a curse that has been haunting his family for generations as his father believed? Or are the mysteries hidden inside the cold walls of Black Mirror house of a far more wordly nature?

It is up to David to uncover the horrible truths, buried under generations of silence and fathoms of stone.

ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY

"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
Edgar Allan Poe

Like in the original graphic adventure trilogy, the Gothic Horror genre and its unique atmosphere of madness and psychological distress remains at the heart of Black Mirror.



The point-and-click gameplay of the original trilogy served as the basis for the re-imagined gameplay, which focuses on close-up investigation and interaction with nightmarish visions that plague the protagonist of the game David Gordon.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY


"No man can choose his death."
Detective Collier, Black Mirror (2003)

In the original adventure trilogy, Samuel Gordon and Darren Michaels search for the truth behind the Curse of the Black Mirror that has haunted the Gordon-family for generations.

The acclaimed original trilogy laid the foundation Black Mirror (2017) is built upon.

Dense gothic horror atmosphere, rich visual details and a dark story full of characters who are not what they seem to be - the journey of Samuel Gordon and Darren Michaels is as captivating today as it was when the games were first released.

Quite an interesting storyline. The puzzles are relatively easy. The biggest problem is the loading screens are very slow and the characters have no expressions on their faces.
  • Storyline
  • Runs easily on Steamdeck
  • Loading times
  • The people have no expressions
Pro: Bella la storia con alcuni colpi di scena ben studiati. I puzzle sono carini e non difficili, ma ne avrei messi di più. L'ambientazione è gradevole, rende bene l'oppressione del castello e anche quando si è fuori si percepisce che qualcosa grava sui personaggi. Gli attori originali sono magnifici, consiglio di lasciare i dialoghi in inglese.

Contro: grafica non ottimizzata, bug grafici qua e la e alcuni ti costringono a ricominciare dall'ultimo check point. Le texture delle persone non è bella,sembrano fatti di plastica. La storia inizia bene ma alla fine hanno cercato di tagliare il gioco. La fine è buttata così a caso, avrei preferito un po più di approfondimento.

Se in un gioco non guardate la grafica ma la trama, allora ve lo consiglio
