The Black Mirror 2003

Is it still worth playing?

Suffolk, England, in 1981 is the setting of this third person point and click horror adventure from 2003, called Posel Smrti in Czech. Samuel Gordon returns to the Black Mirror, his family's decrepit manor, after twelve years away. His grandfather William has died in circumstances ruled a suicide, and as Samuel looks into his grandfather's occult interests, murders begin around the estate. Right-clicking observes an object and left-clicking interacts, and double-clicking travels between screens. There are six chapters, with 150 locations that include the manor, a mental hospital, a mine shaft, a maze and graveyards, and five hours of spoken dialogue. Most players take 10 to 15 hours. A dark mystery with a manor to search is still a good fit for a long evening.
