Paul is 22 years old. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. He lives alone and has a job he doesn’t like. He has no direction. He’s not even sure who he is. It’s a real dilemma.

Then one night, when he’s visited by a mysterious woman, everything changes.

Paul, don’t you remember me? After all we’ve been through?

With The Beard in the Mirror, a husband-and-wife development team with the unusual name of Oh, a Rock! Studios have created a throwback to the time when games came in big boxes and help wasn’t all that plentiful. Husband is a LucasArts fan; wife is into Sierra. ‘Nuff said.

The Beard in the Mirror is a classic point-and-click adventure for the modern age. It has a story replete with magic, danger, romance and adventure. It’s lighthearted, although death lurks all around. Its system requirements are quite modest.

You can discover what all this is about on October 25th, when The Beard in the Mirror launches for Windows on Steam and itch.io.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal. "I put my heart and soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process." - Vincent Van Gogh "I need solitude for my writing; not like a hermit - that wouldn't be enough - but like a dead man." - Franz Kafka "I've been to hell and back, my boy." - Susan Ashworth, The Cat Lady
