![]() We know that Dontnod’s works do not seek graphic realism, but even so it has seemed to us that this installment is not at the same level as the recent Tell Me Why, to name one example.Īs for its technical section, we have run into the odd bug, but luckily none of them have prevented the progression of our game, so we do not consider them serious. In our case we have played it on PC and despite being able to move it in Ultra, details such as shadows, contrast and definition of stage elements and characters have seemed to us of a rather mediocre quality (as you can see in the next image). Graphically, Twin Mirror has seemed too simple and below the expectations we have for a title that reaches the doors of the new generation. Depending on what seems most logical to us in each situation, we can choose one or the other decisions, which, as you well know, will end up leading to one end or another that can change substantially depending on the direction we take. We can hear him or not, as we will be the only ones who will hear his chatter. ![]() He will be there from the beginning to whisper his own insight into Sam’s ear and help him decide what to do in each situation. In addition to the Mental Palace, the other novelty that Twin Mirror brings is the double of the protagonist. On the other hand, we will also have somewhat cryptic sequences in which Higgs is trapped in his own mind and from which he must escape after overcoming a maze of mirrors, doubles of himself and other obstacles. In this way, you can recreate the scene and thus discover the truth that is hidden in your cloudy memories. In Dontnod’s game this translates into certain key and investigative scenes, in which Sam must collect his thoughts and investigate a certain room to display all possible variables of what could have happened there. As a curiosity, this concept comes from a metaphor that Saint Augustine (saint of the Catholic Church) composed to refer to that virtual place that only exists in our imagination and through which we divide our thoughts into various ordered rooms. However, the new Mind Palace mechanic turns all these situations into something more interesting and different from the controls. ![]() ![]() The riddles that we find are not too innovative, since they fall on the typical ones that we have already seen previously in works of these characteristics, such as, for example, finding the password of a locked PC or a safe. We can witness a series of cinematic scenes, move freely through certain spaces to explore each corner, have conversations in which we are presented with various defining decisions and solve certain puzzles whose complexity is not too high. The Mental Palace and the protagonist’s doubleĪs you may know if you have played a Dontnod Entertainment title, the playable scheme of these narrative adventures is quite simple. Personally, we haven’t really gotten to connect with any of them, but other types of players probably find broken loves, friends and acquaintances with whom they can identify. Despite not being a very large stage, but rather a series of small connected spaces, we will find several very mundane characters whom we will feel we have known forever. On the other hand, and without going too far into the Twin Mirror argument in order not to enter the land of spoils, we must mention the familiarity and everyday life that is felt when exploring Basswood. However, it is appreciated having short stories that go to the point to be able to intersperse our games of long works with adventures of this style, which we can complete in an afternoon or two. This, added to the delays it has suffered in its launch, may point to problems in the development of the title. It seemed a bit concise to us and the reason may be in the fact that it was initially planned as an episodic game. With clear references to the famous Twin Peaks by David Lynch, the detective and journalistic spirit of Sam will awaken and using it we will have to accompany him throughout the five hours in which the plot will unfold in its entirety. Apparently it was a car accident, but the little girl believes that there is something else behind the matter and that it really is a murder. He manages to put everything out of his thoughts as soon as his friend’s daughter shows her concern about his mysterious death.
