Twin Mirror is a non-linear adventure game set in a mysterious American town. The game’s protagonist loses his memories after brutal events of a single night and tries to learn what happened. This requires an investigation both in a real world and the character’s own mind.
Twin Mirror is a narrative adventure game developed by DONTNOD studio, known for titles like Vampyr. It has been published by Bandai Namco company.
Players control a 33-year-old man named Samuel, who recently experienced a heartbreak. He returns to his hometown Basswood in West Virginia to attend a funeral of his friend. He wakes up in a morning in a hotel room and is terrified to find that his shirt is drenched in someone’s blood. To make matters worse, he can’t recall what has happened last night.
As in most narrative adventure games, the gameplay of Twin Mirror focuses on exploration, dialogues, and decisions. The town and its inhabitants hide many secrets, which are slowly uncovered during the game.
Interestingly, the game doesn’t take place only in the physical world of Basswood. As Samuel tries to regain his memories, players will often visit the inside of his mind, with its abstract reality offering fresh challenges for story and exploration.
Additionally, Twin Mirror’s story is highly non-linear. Players’ decisions shape both it and Samuel’s relations with other characters.
The game uses fully three-dimensional visuals. Its strongest points are designs of locations, both in the real world and the protagonist’s consciousness, as well as well-directed cutscenes.

Game Ratings for Twin Mirror Video Game.
Hardcore Gamer: 2.5 / 5 by Jordan Helm
Without a key mechanic to keep gameplay fresh, or even a story that's both fleshed out and well-structured, Twin Mirror fails to find any kind of hook beyond the fleeting intrigue in how it all ends.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 5.5 / 10 by Jenny Jones
It's a shame that Twin Mirror manages to create such a compelling and interesting opening but just doesn't manage to stick the landing. It definitely didn't take me on the same kind of emotional journey as some of DONTNOD's previous games, and unfortunately I found myself not really caring too much about Sam or the residents of Basswood.
