Hi.

I've had this game for years (it's NOT part of The Black Mirror trilogy) but have never even installed it - but I wondered if anyone here has ever played it and what they thought of it.

[ I did find some info here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mirror_(2017_video_game) ]

Cheers.

Mad 🙂

I have not played that one Mad but the trilogy was so good it might be worth a look.

If I remember correctly, SQF, it didn’t get very good reviews when it was released …. at least compared to the original trilogy ….

But thanks for responding to my post 🙂

Flotsam reviewed it HERE for some thoughts on it as well.

Hopefully Mikael can weigh in - I am pretty sure I remember him saying that he had played it.

I installed the game but then never got around to playing it. If you do play it, please let us know what you think, Mad.

Thanks all for your contributions - especially to you, BrownEyedTigre, for the link to flotsam’s review 🙂

I have to say, though, that whilst the story itself sounds very inviting, I’m not feeling any mad desire to play the game as I very much dislike controls that can cause frustration.
They would almost certainly spoil (for me, anyway) the enjoyment playing a game should bring 👎

Thanks again, Mad 😑

Mad, after I posted I went and read the review and was having those same thoughts about the way the controls sound.

I definitely think that if I played it now the controls (especially in conjunction with the visions) would be a deal breaker.
There was a lot to like but I used to be far more inclined to see certain aspects as another part of the challenge. I am much less tolerant these days.

I am much less tolerant these days also, flotsam 🤭

Spoiled, I suppose, by the huge strides technology has made ??

When I think back to some of those very early adventure game graphics with which I was so prepared to struggle, I nearly don’t believe my own memories !!

“Daughter of the Serpent”, anybody ?? 😝

EDIT : Later released as “The Scroll”….
