Third Person

"I can easily recommend The Black Mirror to adventure gamers. The developer, Unknown Identity has done a masterful job in crafting a very special world. The Black Mirror excels in providing a suspenseful story, beautiful graphics and some very exciting gameplay!" (Note: pertains to N. American version)

"I must say that I liked Black Mirror. The story is original, even if it is not likely to appeal to everyone. There is one rather interesting - if not entirely unexpected - plot twist near the end of the game. The mood is pleasantly dark and depressing and for once it's nice to see an ending that's not an obvious set-up for a sequel. Black Mirror is technically well done, with the exception of a paranoid copy protection scheme which (besides copying) prevents the game from running on certain configurations - but that will hopefully be limited to the Czech release. I found Black Mirror a little short and easy, but that's hardly different from most other recent adventure games." (Note: pertains to Czech Republic version)
