The Mind Palace serves two purposes across the game: providing exposition and analysing scenes. Inside the bar is evidence of a struggle and Sam can use a special Mind Palace world to find out who he fought. Tracking down the source of this blood is just the start of the investigation, and the first place to check is the bar where the drinking began. He wakes up the next morning with blood all over his shirt and no memory of how it got there. But before that, Sam mourns his dead friend by getting blackout drunk. No matter how you respond, Sam will inevitably need to assess whether foul play was involved. She believes there is more to it and Sam is the closest thing to a private detective. While attending the wake, Sam is asked by the daughter of his deceased friend to investigate the accident. But now he’s back, exposing old wounds and creating new ones. Sam became a pariah among the community and he also split with his girlfriend, Anna, who refused his proposal. Sam has not been back to Basswood in years because he wrote an article that got the local mine shut down, and many people lost work. The funeral is for his friend, Nick, who died in a car accident. The story goes from one extreme to another without any explanation in between.You play as an investigative reporter, Sam Higgs, who is returning to his hometown of Basswood to attend a funeral. While the foundation of the story is there, it feels like it needs more development. Many of your decisions have consequences, but they never feel that impactful. They showed no expressions, and their movements didn’t have much personality. The characters and dialogue were stiff and lifeless. I’m so glad I wasn’t asked any questions about what someone was wearing.
There were moments when characters didn’t have a body and only their head and neck were floating. He works alongside Sam’s ex-girlfriend, Anna, to solve the mystery.
He then learns that he was in a brawl which then leads him to investigate Nick’s murder.
#Twin mirror game review series#
After finding some evidence leading to what went down that night, he enters the Mind Palace to reconstruct the series of events. Sam returns to the bar to piece together what happened. We’re also introduced to his alter ego, or twin, that is referred to as “Him” or “The Double.” The game doesn’t really tell you why these things exist. We see Sam’s Mind Palace, which is a crystallized location where he accesses his memories and solves crimes. This is where the game “starts.”ĭifferent elements are introduced into the game. Anyway, Sam has one too many drinks at the bar, blacks out, and wakes up with blood on his clothes, not remembering what happened the night before. There isn’t much character development or continued relationships with these people. You later find out that the majority of these people don’t even matter later on in the game. At the beginning of the game, you are introduced to pretty much everyone at once, such as former bosses, exes, people who despise Sam, etc. This caused a lot of miners to lose their job. Sam Higgs is a journalist who left Basswood in a hurry because he is now a social outcast after running a story about the town’s coal mine. I should have lowered my expectations because I was not prepared for the gameplay I experienced. I played this game thinking I was going to get something similar to Life is Strange since it is from the same developers. This is tough for him, however, because he left Basswood and has not seen Nick in two years. He has returned to attend his old friend Nick’s funeral. He stops, gets out of his car, and takes a look at his hometown of Basswood.
Protagonist Sam Higgs drives down the road, giving us a peek of the town.
