For a game based on finding clues and making decisions, the art style chosen is a proper fit. While there isn’t a level of realism to the graphics provided in this title, there is enough reality placed within the scenes to give a resemblance to a proper CGI-style movie. Whether it is a challenge section that represents one overcoming an emotional burden or a strange maze-like setup that takes you through the moments of feeling lost as you look for clarity, these sections of the game are nothing short of interesting. If you are in the Mind Palace and aren’t working on putting clues together, you are in for a unique moment of gameplay that differs from the rest of the game. It is also where your other consciousness resides and so there will be emotional struggles in this realm as well. Some moments to go here will be optional, but when it comes to figuring out how the clues you find go together, this will be essential. It is a creative representation of where someone goes when they get lost in their thoughts and are trying to remember something or put something together. One big part of the game is what they call the “Mind Palace.” Now, I’ll admit that when I saw this in the trailers, I am not exactly sure what I was expecting, but essentially this is like Sam’s thinking area. It isn’t always obvious when these moments will take place, so be aware of your choices along the way.
While sometimes it is a mundane and not essential choice, there will be moments that saying the wrong thing can completely sway the attitude of the other person and their ability, or willingness, to help you. There will be plenty of moments when interacting with other characters that you have to pick how the conversation will go. These conclusions ultimately guide your overall investigation. You can come to the wrong conclusion, so be sure to go through all of your options once you have all of the clues and decide which one makes the most sense. GameplayĪ lot of the time you will spend walking around different areas of the game looking for the various clues needed to put together an idea of what took place in each scene. Was his friend’s death an accident or is something more sinister hiding behind the events? It won’t be easy, but the truth is worth uncovering for this reporter. StoryĪfter returning to the small town of Basswood that he grew up in for his friend’s memorial, Sam Higgs finds himself facing a new investigation on what secrets lie within his hometown. What we got, in the end, is an interesting title that was definitely worth its playthrough.
After having experience with games this team has released before, I was pretty excited going into a game that they were able to put together without any say from an outside team. This time, they put players in the shoes of investigative journalist Sam Higgs in their latest title Twin Mirror. Making their first solo-publishing debut, DONTNOD Entertainment continues to push out titles that has players making decisions that ultimately affect the storyline of their games.
