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.
COGconnected: 68 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
DONTNOD Entertainment’s decision to depart from their usual episodic format and release Twin Mirror as a full experience without interruption is a welcome change. However, the short length means that characters and plot points are not fully developed therefore hindering the emotional connection the gamers tend to have with the company’s deep and usually complex personalities. Although not as strong as some of DONTNOD’s previous efforts, Twin Mirror is still a solid Interactive Drama which includes some interesting mechanics. The introduction of the Mind Palace is great but is unfortunately underutilized. However, even with pacing issues, the intriguing story and characters will keep you hooked.
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.
GameSpot: 7 / 10 by Andrew King
Twin Mirror's solid character work and strong environments are shortchanged by pacing problems that undermine much of what it does well.
