Black Mirror

Black Mirror is a gothic-horror adventure set in Scotland in 1926. After his father dies by suicide, David Gordon visits the family’s ancestral home, Black Mirror Castle, for the first time. He investigates the circumstances of his father’s death, meets relatives he has never known and searches for the truths hidden by generations of silence.

David's investigation

David has long suffered from nightmares and waking dreams, and fears that he may follow his father into madness and death. As he explores the castle, he must determine whether a curse has haunted the Gordon family for generations, as his father believed, or whether another explanation lies behind its mysteries. Black Mirror Castle demands an offering.

The game reimagines the earlier Black Mirror adventure trilogy, whose story follows Samuel Gordon and Darren Michaels as they seek the truth about the curse. The trilogy provides the basis for this version’s gothic-horror atmosphere, psychological distress and story of deceptive characters.

Investigate the visions

The point-and-click gameplay of the original trilogy informs an approach focused on close-up investigation. David interacts with nightmarish, vision-like apparitions that plague him and reveal more about his family’s past.
