“Black Mirror” is scheduled for release this November
THQ Nordic announces a new game: “Black Mirror” is scheduled for release this November A new adventure from the famous, spine-chilling franchise will be released on November 28, 2017 here on Steam Check out the Coming Soon page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/581300/Black_Mirror/ Vienna/Austria, Bremen/Germany: 16th August 2017 – THQ Nordic is thrilled to reveal its new project: Black Mirror, a Gothic horror adventure, due for release on 28th November 2017. The game will be developed by the Bremen studio KING Art Games, known for “The Book of Unwritten Tales”, “The Dwarves” and “The Raven”, and will be available on PC/Mac/Linux, PS4 and Xbox One. CGI Trailer & Website YouTube (Announcement Trailer): https://youtu.be/jZ3mOzM7Htg New official website: blackmirror-game.com Black Mirror - The Brand The game name may already exist one way or another, and no, we’re not talking about the Netflix series. The first part of the creepy adventure series was released in 2004 as “The Black Mirror”, which produced two more spin-offs, “Black Mirror II” (2009) and “Black Mirror III” (2011). But don’t worry, even players unfamiliar with the previous games in the series can also enjoy Black Mirror, because this reboot of the franchise tells a totally independent and new story. The major difference between the new and old Black Mirror, apart from the modern graphics of course, will be a new gameplay element: interaction with vision-like apparitions. THQ Nordic & KING Art “One of the outstanding features of the Black Mirror game series is the unique atmosphere which was essentially created by KING Art in the original trilogy. We have developed a new interpretation that both retains the strengths of the original games and gives us more room to explore fresh possibilities in terms of gameplay so that players can experience the world of Black Mirror in a more direct and free way, and not “just” in classic point-and-click style.” – Martin Kreuch, Producer at THQ Nordic. “Black Mirror is a series that is really close to my heart, and it was fantastic to be immersed in the Gothic horror genre again; the human psyche is a fascinating playground!” – Achim Heidelauf, Producer “Black Mirror” (2017), Director & Writer “Black Mirror II” (2009). “Black Mirror II” (2009) was the first big adventure KING Art worked on, and it’s fantastic to be able to create the new world of the Gordons and Black Mirror. We will be emphasising the unsettling atmosphere and the meticulous detail that the fans of a Black Mirror title have come to expect.” Jan Theysen, Creative Director KING Art Games.
Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The beautifully detailed graphics make exploration a sheer pleasure and the music and ambient sounds combine well to heighten the sense of something evil waiting, patiently, watching your every move. »
« It’s just the details of the game I didn’t get along with, all the unnecessary walking back and forth, and the general simplicity of the puzzles. So The Black Mirror earns a borderline recommendation from me. »
« A worthy addition for anyone looking for a solid mystery/horror game. The interesting story line, easy to use control system, and detail graphics makes the game stand out. »
« Did you enjoy “Sanitarium” and Agatha Christie's first mystery? If you can answer "yes" to these questions, then I highly recommend The Black Mirror as a "journey into darkness" well worth your time and effort. »
« Perhaps the biggest failing in Black Mirror is that the ending comes too soon. After spending so much time building up this great story, the end, while logical, doesn't have the same narrative buildup as the rest of the game. »
« The slow pace and ridiculously formal dialogue will certainly repel some players, even patient ones – but the rest of us will find a detailed, suspenseful story brought to life by alluring graphics. »
« It offers roughly 20 hours of compelling play, with a mystery that's genuinely worth solving. [Feb 2004, p.81] »
« Just a mediocre adventure game. It takes a generic story and adds some twists to it, but the twists and the ending really aren't worth playing the game through. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« An above average mysterious adventure game with a very intriguing story that falls somewhat flat in the end. The puzzles are mostly logical, but marred by incessant pixel-hunting, items/places in plain sight becoming usable only after enough story development and some annoying things like slow movement of the main character, slow animations overall, no sense of guidance and the possibility of the main character dying. As the game nears the end, these things worsen and become a real nuisance. The last few puzzles were just annoing and more of a trial-and-error kind of type. Although the graphics have aged poorly, the game still has a dark charm and the voiceover is mostly great. »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« The best game of this genre, even after many years, even though I know the story, at times I had chills all over my body. Fantastic story, great locations and the voice of the main character. »
« great :) »
« The best adventure I've ever played. The brilliant story, great acting, voice over in Czech language is just awesome. »
« годный сюжет, правильная атмосфера. Итог: 9.124/10 »
« The first point and click adventure that I played trough. Sadly I missed the classics like Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion and others in my youth. I must also admit that I played the German version. What is so different about it? The localization / synchronization was amazing. It improved the atmosphere and was nearly universally praised. I only found out about it after research because I couldn't believe the low ratings this game got in other countries (10-20 percent lower). Back to the game: You play as Samuel Gordon who returns home after his grandfather took his own life. He didn't believe that his grandfather would commit suicide and wants to know the truth. He got no real help from his relatives and is on his own. The story is really good. There are a lot of family secrets and plot twist. The story is always engaging and I enjoyed the new revelations and puzzles. The final reveal will shock you but is fitting and well explained. It makes sense in hindsight like all good mysteries. You get what you can expect from a point and click adventure. You must solve puzzles and combine items. All riddles / puzzles are fair and solvable. I must admit that I looked up thinks in a walktrough but never said that it was illogical or unsolvable. It was more I got thinking in the wrong direction. Overall this was my first point and click adventure that got hooked me up. I will praise this game while I must admit that my experience in this genre is not that good. »
« Everyone around is talking about this abhorrent game as a "point & click" adventure, but, alas, it is not! This IS NOT a point & click adventure, this is an adventure game plagued by a terrible navigation, tons of glitches and infinite loading times whenever you open a door. »
