Our story begins in Maine, but leads inexorably to Black Mirror Castle and its unfortunate inhabitants. Rushes discovers what's been happening at the Castle, the sanatorium, and in Wales during the intervening years since the original Black Mirror.

Thank you for the review, Rushes.
I don't like photo developing "puzzles" either.

Is it really a "To Be Continued" type ending or does the game actually have a fairly satisfying conclusion?

Thanks, everyone. smile Hope you all enjoy it as much as the original BM.

Jenny - I felt that the ending was fitting. I personally enjoyed the conclusion (it made me cackle a bit), and a lot of the loose ends were tied up, but it also left plenty of scope for continuance. I would love to see a Black Mirror III.

catrub thanks Rushes for a fantastic review. Now I know I want the game! I cringed when I saw 2 slider puzzles were they skip-able?

Do I understand this is a 6 Gig digital download? if so I will have to buy the box version or hope I win the giveaway eek.

I wonder if one of our UK based boomers could enlighten us as to where the activity in BM1 and BM2 is taking place. Is BM Castle/ willow creek in England or Scotland? I was thinking Scotland, just because of the name "Gordon". Yet the characters in Willow Creek seem to have Irish accents, and some sound like Yorkshire men. and Samuel seems to have a very (veddy) upper class English accent. Any thoughts?

Yes, the sliders are skippable.

The download is huge at 6 GB. But then it's a long game, so that's to be expected. happydance

Thanks Becky for the link and Rushes for a wonderful review. praise It's refreshing to know that the format hasn't changed in a sequel and I don't think I will mind the photo developing! It's a game I've been looking forward to playing for a long time and now know I'm not going to be disappointed with! happydance

Wonderful review Rushes! Thanks so much for your hard work and for getting me even more excited about playing this game!

PS I can't believe it's been 7 years since the first one. Wow.

Great review! Screenshots look fantastic. I was also glad to read that there is a skip option for some of the puzzles when one plays in the easy mode. That is a real plus, in my opinion. Good Job and thanks for posting the review.
