'Black Mirror 3' Coming To North American, With Prequel In Tow

by Rainier on Jan. 11, 2011 @ 9:23 a.m. PST

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.

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.

Viva Media CEO Carlo Voelker commented, “The Black Mirror franchise is a worthy addition to the horror-adventure genre of gaming.  Players will be treated to gaming worlds of lush 3D graphics and disturbing plots that thicken and do not disappoint as these chilling stories reveal themselves through exciting game-play.” He continues, “I am very happy that we are working with dtp entertainment and bringing these games to North America.”  Michael Kalina, International Sales Director at dtp, said, “We are excited to launch these games with Viva Media and look forward to working with their team.”

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.

Black Mirror 2: Reigning Evil - the latest chapter of this critically acclaimed series takes place in the 1990’s, where players will follow Darren, and explore superbly crafted recreations of the quaint fishing village of Biddleford Maine, the English village of Willow Creek, as they experience this unsettling story.
