Enter Your Mind Palace In Twin Mirror

We recently had the opportunity to sample but a taste of Twin Mirror, a slice of introductory gameplay cut from the first episode of the game, Lost On Arrival. It’s weird; pretty bloody weird. Then again, at this point we wouldn’t really expect anything less from Dontnod.

We quickly hit the beats of the trailer. We are introduced to Sam, a man with a sad story that has led him down a sad path: to a downtrodden part of small-town America. Then he wakes up with a cracking hangover, and all hell breaks loose; his shirt is covered in blood, he can’t remember a thing, and there’s a spritely manifestation of his subconscious darting in and out of the hotel room, goading him. If that wasn’t enough to process, he has got a receptionist slamming on his door telling him that he’s about to miss checkout, and nobody likes a late fee. So Sam retreats into his mind palace in an attempt to figure some things out.
