Black Mirror I review
Exceptional
by Mia Blais-Côté

Black Mirror is an old point-and-click, dating back to 2003!, but with an engaging horror story and lovable characters. Black Mirror is not only the title of the game, but also the name of the Gordon family's ancestral mansion. Following the mysterious death of his grandfather, Samuel Gordon, our hero, returns to the family manor after a twelve-year absence. Convinced that the old man's death is no accident, he decides to play detective to find out who the murderer is. He discovers more than he thought... The game is available in French. It is also the first game of a trilogy. Black Mirror 2 (released in 2010) and Black Mirror 3 (released in 2011) completes the trilogy.

A great Point-and-Click Adventure, despite its old Age. Especially the gloomy atmosphere, especially from Chapter IV, is very well represented. The Soundscape, which comes across particularly well when playing with Headphones, contributes to this in particular. Above all, however, the German Voice Actors have done a surprisingly good Job, first and Foremost, the Spokesman for Samuel Gordon, the Protagonist. My only Criticism is that you can't bring the Game, in the Game menu, or even in the setup.exe, into Full Screen. Instead, you have to manually select it in your Graphics cards settings. However, this is Criticism at a high Level as the Game is from 2003.

Anyone who previously thought that Point 'n Click Adventures were only for Warm Showers and Mami's Favorites should be taught better by "Black Mirror" at the latest. Released about 14 years Ago, the Title provided subtle Goosebumps among Gamers, consistently positive Response. "Black Mirror" seems like the game implementation of a washly real crime novel from the first Second. Even Edgar A. Poe (certainly not the worst reference When it comes to Scary Stories) would surely have had its dark Delight in this grim Scenario. The oppressive Environment is represented in such a coherent way that you can feel the Atmosphere with your Hands. Once Again, the Gamer is tempted to change the Hatter. Various Factors contribute to this: In addition to the incredibly exciting and gripping story, the stylish Graphics and the unprecedented German Dubbing, it is above all the striking and no less sinister characters that Samuel has been on during the His Investigations hits. All Participants seem authentically drawn throughout, thanks mainly to the professional Voice Actors, who meticulously set each Sentence to music. Rating Pro: An incredibly captivating Story Atmosphere that seeks its same. Many different and logical Puzzles praise Songs to the German Dubbing Contra: Stiff and slow Protagonist movements Conclusion Black Mirror is considered without considering as one of the Frontrunners of the Point 'n Click genre. Developer dtp has created a really exciting and also complex crime thriller that doesn't need to hide even 14 years after its Release. You find my Reviews helpful and still don't want to miss one?
