In this psychological thriller Sam Higgs is coming back to Basswood, his childhood town, for his best friend’s funeral. It quickly becomes obvious that this little West Virginian city holds numerous dark secrets. The former investigative journalist will employ his deductive skills to uncover the mysteries surrounding the city and its inhabitants. Dealing with his past, Sam will be torn between his quest for truth and his desire to reconnect with relatives.

Who can he really trust?

As a former investigative journalist, Sam Higgs has developed multiple analytical skills represented in the game by the Mind Palace, a place where players will discover multiple aspects of his personality.

Thanks to unique gameplay mechanics serving the narrative, Sam’s Mind Palace is a safe space where the protagonist can be his true self without any pressure or judgment. Players will be able to revisit Sam’s past and witness his memories during flashback sequences.

Sam’s Mind Palace also plays a central part in his quest for the truth. Players will be able to study the environment and gather clues allowing the simulation of multiple scenarios to deduct the course of events or predict the story’s key turning points.

DONTNOD Entertainment is offering a unique experience called “Lost on Arrival”, which is an opportunity to discover more about the Twin Mirror universe while waiting for the game’s launch.

Available from today until November 30th on a dedicated website, “Lost on Arrival” throws players into a mystery solving scenario after finding a lost phone in front of a local pub called The Coal Miner's Haven. Curiosity and snappiness will be two very useful traits to succeed in finding this lost phone’s owner.

This experience will shed light on Twin Mirror’s characters and the town of Basswood, as well as introducing the game’s soundtrack, exclusive artwork & screenshots.

Players reaching the end of the experience will be rewarded with a chance to win an exclusive customized gaming PC (provided by Gigabyte), themed after Twin Mirror protagonist Sam’s Mind Palace, as well as 20 pre-order keys for the game on the Epic Games Store (including the game’s OST).

Facing dramatic events and the ghosts of his past, Sam is progressively losing control of this haven of peace. He also soon discovers that the Mind Palace doesn’t really help him confront his fears or reconnect with his acquaintances.

That’s when the Double comes into play. This is a character only Sam can see. A representation of himself more emphatic and social. Sam can always rely on this ally to guide him through social interactions and navigate a society that sometimes rejects singularity.

Twin Mirror will release for PS4, Xbox One and PC (Epic Games Store) on December 1, 2020, and will also be compatible with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
