Dtp Entertainment just announced the upcoming release of the PC version of Black Mirror 3. The third installment of the horror adventure series will be available on the 5th of November 2010! Black Mirror 3, like its predecessor, delivers a classic point & click adventure in 2.5D technology. The game uses a combination of stunning two-dimensional backgrounds, and detailed three-dimensional characters, and utilizes the power of the Black Mirror 2 graphics engine to deliver breathtaking visuals. Back to our roots
The story centers on the Black Mirror castle in Willow Creek, and surrounding areas, thus tracing its roots to the original Black Mirror. Players can explore a total of 62 different locations, some of which may be familiar to players of the original game, and all locations have a completely new graphical look. The story connects with the end of Black Mirror 2, and promises a deep, mysterious story, including two playable characters.
Driven by nightmares, plagued by the specter of murder.
After his flight into the woods, Darren stands with a burning torch in his hand, and turns to look back at the blaze engulfing Black Mirror Castle. Confusion reigns... A short time later, he barely reacts as the handcuffs are closed on his wrists. The police have arrested Darren as their main suspect, and subject him to extensive questioning. But Darren is numb to the events occurring around him, and he withdraws into a deep emptiness. After three weeks of detention - and tormented by sleepless nights, nightmare-like visions, and the chilling specter of murder and death - Darren is set free. Darren is now alone. He must try to find out what has happened, and lift the veil on his clouded past. What did he really see with those jet black eyes, what does the nightmare mean? Who is the mysterious person who posted bail and set him free? What dark force lies behind the tangled web of riddles, mysterious secrets and entwined relationships? The answers to all these questions await puzzle fans in the six chapters of this exciting adventure game. The third part of the Black Mirror series has been developed by Cranberry Productions in Hanover. The game will initially be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but as always we will keep you posted about any new info's. Check the first artwork and screenshots!

Thanks, Carla! The Black Mirror castle was my favorite section from BM2. Really looking forward to this one! Gerry, I ordered my copy of Black Mirror 2 at Interact.

Great news. I need to gobble up BM2 so I can be ready for the sequel.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Hehe, I rather liked the way they paced the beginning. Slow start then it opened out - like a good book:-)

" the 1st part was too long and "boring"." How differently we all react !! I didn't find ANY of the game boring. I thought it was all quite well paced

Absolutely the only part I didn't like was the last cut scene. The graphics were awful. I had the feeling that they were in a hurry to polish off the first part of a much longer game they've been working on as one unit, if that makes sense. There's no other way they could be ready to bring out "3" so soon after taking...what? seven years?...to give us BM 2, seems to me.
Anyway, aside from that last cut scene, the game was really good, beginning to end. I'm definitely ready for part three.

Still haven't gotten around to playing Black Mirror 2 since Venus's desktop is not working yet. I'm looking forward to playing this one after we finish playing the second one. We're using my laptop right now and while it has an okay video card for viewing these games, it doesn't have the really nice upgraded video card and monitor that her desktop has.
