The Black Mirror

Great Game!

User Rating: 4.6 | The Black Mirror PC

The game starts out in a dry sense of state that could deceive some new players to the game. The juicy part of the game is not discovered until about the 4th or 5th plot is uncovered and the true nature of the crime committed is discovered. The game would have been better if there were better quality graphics and the point-click interface was a bit better. This game was not my all-time favorite but after playing it for some time it slowly got better.

The sound effects in the game sound like something taken out of an old record. A mystery game needs to have that sort of “up-close” appeal when trying to draw the gamer in to partake of its fruits.
