Scotland, 1926. Following the suicide of his father, David Gordon visits his ancestral home for the first time in his life. A life that is soon threatened by the dark secrets that claimed the sanity of many Gordons before him. Tormented by nightmares and waking dreams for all his life, David fears that it might be his destiny to follow in his father’s footsteps, down a path that leads to madness, and death. Is there really a Curse that has been haunting his family, like his father believed? It is up to David to uncover the horrible truths, buried under generations of silence and fathoms of stone. Black Mirror Castle demands an offering…

Great remake with an incredible story to tell! The environments were awesome and the voice acting phenomenal. Puzzles were intuitive, but seemed to get easier with each chapter. I played with both mouse and keyboard, and with controller, and have to say, controller is by far the way to go with this one. Really wasn't optimized great for mouse and keyboard with the mechanics of the game, and movement and interaction with not only the environment, but the inventory items, was very choppy. To get a happy full experience, highly recommend playing with controller, otherwise, one may become too frustrated to continue. Overall, highly recommend!

This is a tough one. Not the game, but deciding how to review it.
Being a big fan of the original trilogy of Black Mirror I was fairly disappointed with this 4. part. It doesn't have the depth, charme or black humour that the others games had.
Nevertheless, it is far from being the worst game I've encountered.
+ You see that people put effort into it, the German voice acting is very good, the atmosphere in the castle and its surroundings are spooky. I even think the story in general is fine, even if not as complex as in the other games.
- Being a game from 2017, there are aspects that should have been better by that time. Facial expressions, plastic-looking hair and a really awful camera movement are things that bothered me while playing. The game also had to be reloaded several times as some triggers didn't seem to work. The puzzles are not terrible but very limited. There isn't too much to do here and there. I mainly ran around the castle in pitch black darkness as your only light source tended to walk in directions you didn't need to go.
Summary: It's not terrible, it's not good either. If you are a Black Mirror fan, this games will hurt your heart but it will also give you a little bit of lore.

This is a fun little mystery.
It has nothing to do with the show. It actually predates the show.
At first I found the controls a little strange, but I got used to them and became engrossed in figuring this out.
There are some challenges but it is still mostly a narrative.

Not a terrible game if you can get past the poor controls. The music is excellent and father and son story was touching.

🔷INTRO🔷In 1926, David Gordon goes to his ancestral manor to settle his inheritance. Strange and tragic events take place upon his arrival.
🔷TAGS🔷Narrative. Detective. Puzzles. Thriller-Horror. Multiple choices.
✅PROS✅
-The story is scary but not too much. I'd say it's a nice thriller.
-Good twists and turns, I was surprised by some events.
-Great atmosphere.
-Puzzles are balanced.
-Multiple choices for dialogue or action sometimes.
-Nice voice acting.
-Everyone loves exploring a spooky old mansion at night. :D
-Family dramas have great potential in video games, and this one delivers just what I wanted. It's quite creepy and completely twisted at times.
-Walking simulator, no need to run.
-Lots of exploration.
-Some Lovecraftian vibes and themes.
❌CONS❌
-Graphics are not really good (it's not bad, but it's not great for a 2017 game IMO)
-Better to use a controller because the keyboard is bad for this game.
-Saving-Loading system is meh.
-The Elder Futhark Runes are being used absurdly here. It makes no sense.
-The ending seems a bit rushed.
⏱️DURATION⏱️ 6-7 hours.
I haven't played the original games, so I can't make a comparison. I'll just say that I had a good time with this Black Mirror (2017) even if it's far from perfect, I enjoyed experiencing this little fantasy-horror thriller.
I was immersed in this strange atmosphere and I wanted to know what had happened in this family.
I found the ending a bit rushed, which is a shame.
The puzzles weren't too complicated.
