Is this the second game in the series? It looks interesting, but don't want to buy a game I've already played. How new is it? Thanks for any info.

It's also largely keyboard controlled -- worth pointing out, as some gamers cannot abide this style of gameplay.

Jenny100: Just got a new computer; has 4 core and 4 core logical processor; 2800 Mhz. Before I got the computer, I brought along the specs for Black Mirror to make sure I could play current games. Rushes: Thanks for the advice. Have you played it? Is it worth it?

I played the demo, but didn't get on with it at all. I found the controls and movement far too clunky, even though I reprogrammed the keys. Not for me.

Thanks, Rushes. The Haze: In searching for the demo at Gamers Hell, they write this is the "second and final" game in the series.
After approx. 1-1/2 hours of downloading the demo; used WinZip to unlock file. Followed all steps, did this 3 times. Kept getting message: cannot start game as physxl.dll is missing. I installed it, according to their directions. Guess this game is on my "forget it" list.

Laurette -- I had to download PhysX in order to get the game to run. You can find out more about PhysX here. I'm not sure if the demo has the same issue.

Becky: The demo said it was installing PhysX, but it still didn't work. I'll give it one more try. Thanks. I went to your link, but couldn't see where you could download PhysX.

mj2c:Thank you very much. I successfully installed PhysX. However, when I go to run the game, nothing happens. Guess it was not meant to be!

I tried the one that came with the game - didn't work. Reinstalled the game and it now works. But, right now I feel like I've been on a ship (or something)! Haven't played much and am still undecided. One question: the words at the top "pick up the lantern" keep flashing even after I have the lantern. How do you get rid of them? Thanks for all the help.

If you click the lantern icon in inventory a time or two, do the words go away? (just an idea) You could also try right-clicking on the item in inventory and see if that helps.

Hi Laurette There is a patch available for the game here. I'm not sure if these fixes will help with your problem. "Q"
You do not get Harmony, if you all sing the same note.

Thanks, Becky and gadventuregames. I'll try your suggestions. I went into Options and turned off the tutorial. The words disappeared. Also, I found out if you put the mouse sensitivity button all the way to the left, it eases the somewhat "dizzy" feeling.

I bought this game. I knew I'd either love it, enjoy it or hate it. So far, I am completely enjoying it. Once you get the "feel" of the controls, it feels as if you are really there. Very spooky. Strongly recommend it.
