Description
Scotland, 1926. Following the suicide of his father, David Gordon visits his ancestral home for the first time in his life. A life that is soon threatened by the dark secrets that claimed the sanity of many Gordons before him.

Tormented by nightmares and waking dreams for all his life, David fears that it might be his destiny to follow in his father’s footsteps, down a path that leads to madness, and death.

Is there really a Curse that has been haunting his family, like his father believed? It is up to David to uncover the horrible truths, buried under generations of silence and fathoms of stone. Black Mirror Castle demands an offering...
KEY FEATURES
  • A modern re-imagining of the acclaimed gothic-horror adventure series
  • Interactions with vision-like apparitions which help you learn more about the past of your family
  • Eerie atmosphere focusing on the horrors of the mind, in the style of EA Poe and HP Lovecraft
  • High quality voice acting from a compelling ensemble cast

THE STORY
"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."
Edgar Allan Poe

David Gordon never knew his estranged father particularly well. Still it comes as a shock when he is summoned to his family's ancestral home in the Scottish highlands, after his father has taken his own life there. David does not know much about his father's final weeks, but the circumstances of his death seem more than peculiar. Settling the heritage is merely an excuse for David to find out more about the castle his father grew up in, meeting the family he never knew and for shedding light on the mysteries surrounding his father's death.

Tormented by nightmares and waking dreams for all his life, he fears that it might be his destiny to follow in his father's footsteps, down a path that leads to madness and death.

Is there really a curse that has been haunting his family for generations as his father believed? Or are the mysteries hidden inside the cold walls of Black Mirror house of a far more wordly nature?

It is up to David to uncover the horrible truths, buried under generations of silence and fathoms of stone.

ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY
"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
Edgar Allan Poe

The point-and-click gameplay of the original trilogy served as the basis for the re-imagined gameplay, which focuses on close-up investigation and interaction with nightmarish visions that plague the protagonist of the game David Gordon.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY
"No man can choose his death."
Detective Collier, Black Mirror (2003)

In the original adventure trilogy, Samuel Gordon and Darren Michaels search for the truth behind the Curse of the Black Mirror that has haunted the Gordon-family for generations.

The acclaimed original trilogy laid the foundation Black Mirror (2017) is built upon.

Dense gothic horror atmosphere, rich visual details and a dark story full of characters who are not what they seem to be - the journey of Samuel Gordon and Darren Michaels is as captivating today as it was when the games were first released.

Black mirror reinvented

where is used to be pure point and click in the previous game now its is also an interactive movie in some parts. Newer generation graphics are most welcome. Great voice acting! Only con for me was the fact that they could have done with less loading screens.

Game doesn't install

I have purchased this game last week but having issues installing it. Kept popping up a window to say 'GOG galaxy is currently running.... please close the program and try again". Nothing is opened in the background, all browsers were not opened. Contact support but till now no help! Do a refund now and forget about this game which I cant play at all. What a bad experience!

Nice story and gread atmosphere.

I just finished Chapter one. This game has the same atmosphere as the original one. I'm quite enjoying it so far. I'm taking away one star because of the odd controls - they may be ok for using a controller but on PC with a mouse - it's super odd.

This Deserves A Refund.

I'm not interested in writing a full review, but deserve to register my one star rating despite this. As a huge fan of the original series, I was so disappointed in the immediate unplayability that I cannot believe GoG accepts payment for this trash.

Is this some kind of a joke?

Released in 2017. With graphics from 1995. Controls that even old console ports would envy. For the price of a decent game? I want my money back :(
