Sam can’t stop his investigative nature and together with his ex-girlfriend Anna, sets on a quest to find the culprit and expose his deeds to the whole town. You take the role of Sam Higgs – a journalist who comes back to his small hometown of Basswood to attend the funeral of his best friend Nick only to find out that he was actually murdered. Unfortunately, there are only 6-7 choices like this, and they are split into two categories: analytical and social, leading you to slightly different playthroughs and quite different endings. Even the earlier choices from this category can have repercussions in the late parts of the game. The choices that do count though are color-coded and frankly, I was relieved that the game shows me that I am about to make a meaningful decision which is bound to affect the rest of the game. It’s mainly advertised as a “Choose Your Own Adventure” game, albeit most of the choices don’t matter for how the story unravels up to the ending sequences – regardless of what you choose, the outcome is identical and you have pretty much the same idea, but expressed through different words no matter what you pick. In that regard, Twin Mirror does some things very well, but it also has its faults. One playthrough takes around 7 hours and it’s extremely linear, consisting mostly in watching the scripted cutscenes and dialogues based on the choices you make.

If I were to describe it, I’d say it’s more of a movie rather than a game considering that the player interactions are kept to a minimum. But by all means don’t take that as “ Twin Mirror is a bad game” – it isn’t, it just lacks the depth, the spark, and the impact that their other games have on you when you play them. If you expect a moving narrative or a story similar in greatness as for example the one that Life is Strange offers, then you won’t find it here. The general opinion about Twin Mirror is that it doesn’t manage to reach the same high bar that other games developed / published by DONTNOD Entertainment already set, and after I played the game several times already, I can understand where this statement is coming from.
