Press release:
Paris, December 1st, 2021.
DONTNOD Entertainment, French independent video games publisher and developer, is excited to announce the Steam release of its psychological thriller, “Twin Mirror“.

The game is now available on Steam with a two-week 50% launch discount and will introduce a brand-new set of players to the gripping story of Sam Higgs and his quest for the truth.

DONTNOD invites players to start their adventure in Basswood by playing the free demo of the game, which is ready to download now from the Steam store page. Game progress and any achievements unlocked will be saved and carried over to the game if players choose to purchase it afterwards. Interested players should be mindful that the demo is available for a short time. However, the demo can still be played even after it has been removed from the store if it has been downloaded.

Sam Higgs left his hometown, and everyone he knows, behind two years ago. The death of his best friend Nick calls him back to confront the town’s troubled past—and his own. He soon becomes drawn into a dangerous web of intrigue as all is not as it seems in the small town of Basswood, West Virginia.

Forced to face himself and the townsfolk, ex-investigative journalist Sam struggles to balance the scales of reconciliation and his life-changing investigation. He must decide how much he’s willing to risk to uncover the mysteries of his hometown.

Sam has a Mind Palace, an expansive and unique part of his mind where he can revisit his past, relive old memories, and reconstruct events to gather clues and predict the story’s key turning points. His analytical and logical mind can often lead to awkward interactions and unintentional hurt.

This is where Sam’s Double comes in: it is the more social and empathetic side of himself that only he can see. This ally guides Sam through social interactions and helps him navigate a society that sometimes rejects singularity. Through these human qualities, the Double can offer Sam an alternative when he needs to make important decisions.

Every decision, every interaction, and every discovery will influence the direction of Sam’s investigation and will ultimately determine how much of himself he’s willing to sacrifice. There are no right or wrong answers – each player will live a truly unique experience tailored by their very own decisions.

The evocative soundtrack of Twin Mirror™ is also available for digital purchase on various online music streaming services, gathered here.

Along with Steam, Twin Mirror™, co-produced with Shibuya Productions, is also available on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation®4 (PlayStation®Store), and Xbox One™ (Microsoft®Store). The game is also compatible with PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S.

To keep up with Twin Mirror™, follow the game on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
