Stepping into a living painting inspired by classic Chinese art, players will be drawn into a tale of murder and deception in this mystery adapted from historical Chinese literature.

Set during the famous Ming Dynasty, Tales of the Mirror immerses players in the period’s rich history through its incredible visual style, animation, and story.

As a player, you solve a series of mysteries in the mid and late Ming Dynasty, in the south of Yangtze River. One day, while enjoying the view of a lake, you meet Ren Sanniang (a female NPC). After she tearfully tells you her bitter story, you decide to help her redress the injustices her family had suffered.

You need to crack the case within a specified number of days, and you need to use an ancient mirror to reveal the lies and secrets hidden behind the words in your quest for the truth. Behind the twists and turns of the bizarre story lies the human condition and life-and-death decisions. Let us travel back in time to the Ming dynasty and relive this legendary story that happened in the misty Yangtze Delta.

Every area springs from the screen as though freshly painted with delicate brushstrokes that instantly evoke classic Chinese paintings and illustrations. This authentic feel is reflected in every aspect of the game, with music and animation that takes inspiration from China’s rich culture of Opera and a story firmly rooted in the country's literary traditions.

Key Features:

  • The exquisite ancient Chinese backdrops let you immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery of Yangtze Delta.
  • You will be profoundly intrigued by the unexpected development of the plot and cannot help but delve further into the mystery.
  • Truth is not always apparent. The ancient mirror in your possession allows you to uncover deeply hidden secrets.
  • Clues lie between the lines. In the course of tracking down the culprit, you need to find important clues from the dialog, record them, and solve layers upon layers of puzzles to get to the bottom of everything.
  • As a player, every choice you make will affect the direction of the plot and lead to different endings.

Tales of the Mirror is available for PC (Steam), Google Play, and the App Store
