This game is currently in the Humble Choice for January 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before February 6th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
Another unique story from DONTNOD.
DONTNOD is a company best known for Life Is Strange and Life is Strange 2, but also Remember Me, Vampyr, and Tell Me Why. Twin Mirror fits in with Life is Strange, and Tell Me Why introduces players to Sam, an investigative journalist who returns to town due to his best friend dying though there is a clear estrangement.
But Twin Mirrors is like most DONTNOD Games where it sets up a compelling story and interesting characters early on, as well as hinting at larger and deeper truths. In the first hour, all I can think about is how I want to know more and unravel some of the larger stories here, and also I will say around an hour in there’s a huge moment, which opens up a ton of new questions.
On the other hand, this is a narrative adventure… AKA “Choices matters game” as Telltale makes, and I’ve seen enough of these to tell you, that your choices won’t truly matter, it might change the path but there’s almost always going to be one or two possible endings in the final chapter, which isn’t a bad thing, considering when choices do matter and are spread out over the entire game, that means a 6-hour replay to see a slightly different scene. Also, some of the targeting on this game was a little frustrating, hopefully, those were only issues early on. Finally, the mind palace idea sounds great, but then there was a rather weak running down a corridor challenge that was quite bad.
Pick this up if you like DONTNOD’s previous work. As I said, their character development and how they build mysteries is a big selling point here, and I’m curious how it pays off, but I also get why some people aren’t huge fans of this genre, and that’s ok too.
