Twin Mirror

Twin Mirror is a narrative adventure game developed by DONTNOD studio, known for titles like Remember Me, Life is Strange and Vampyr. It has been published by Bandai Namco company.

Plot

Players control a 33-year-old man named Samuel, who recently experienced a heartbreak. He returns to his hometown Basswood in West Virginia to attend a funeral of his friend. He wakes up in a morning in a hotel room and is terrified to find that his shirt is drenched in someone’s blood. To make matters worse, he can’t recall what has happened last night.

Game mechanics

As in most narrative adventure games, the gameplay of Twin Mirror focuses on exploration, dialogues, and decisions. The town and its inhabitants hide many secrets, which are slowly uncovered during the game.

Interestingly, the game doesn’t take place only in the physical world of Basswood. As Samuel tries to regain his memories, players will often visit the inside of his mind, with its abstract reality offering fresh challenges for story and exploration.

Additionally, Twin Mirror’s story is highly non-linear. Players’ decisions shape both it and Samuel’s relations with other characters.

Technical aspect

The game uses fully three-dimensional visuals. Its strongest points are designs of locations, both in the real world and the protagonist’s consciousness, as well as well-directed cutscenes.
