Mirror mirror on the wall, darkest castle of them all!

The Black Mirror, an exclusive bonus content-packed edition of the dark murder-mystery adventure game with occult undertones, is available 20% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 for the first week.

Black Mirror Castle stands over ancient lands with secrets buried and best forgotten. The crumbling ruins breathe with a life of their own, haunted by the past and waiting to meet the present. Following the sudden death of his grandfather, Samuel Gordon returns to his estate after an absence of twelve years. While attempting to understand the reasons behind his grandfather’s death, he uncovers an ancient family secret. As Samuel learns the truth of the mysterious origins of the land and history of Black Mirror Castle, he comes face to face with madness, murder, and the true reflection of his soul.

The Black Mirror delivers a thrilling, original horror story featuring six different chapters and five hours of spoken dialogue. There's over 150 locations to explore as you seek to unravel the grim mysteries of Black Mirror Castle, solving puzzles and riddles in a dark, haunting atmosphere. On GOG.com the game comes packed with lots of exclusive digital bonus content, including an original soundtrack (MP3 only) and a special editon soundtrack in both high-quality MP3 as well as FLAC format.

If you're the one to seek out eerie tales of mysticism and murder playing out in old gothic castles, away from the lights of the world, make sure to pick up The Black Mirror, for only $7.99 on GOG.com. The 20% off special release discount lasts until Thursday, July 10, at 9:59AM GMT.

Good game and good it is finally here but I will keep my Posel Smrti instead.
It has something that this release doesn't. :-p

I read that only Black Mirror 3 has a real ending, did anyone play all the trilogy?
How are gameplay and story?

Great game, I've finished the whole Black Mirror trilogy not so long ago, great games with mysterious and thrilling atmosphere. I would say that BM 2 and 3 have better story, but this one has better atmosphere and it's more dark.

Too bad that there's no czech dubbing though :(

Not really, ending in BM 3 is the worst from all games in this trilogy.
For me, the 1st game is the best.

Grargar: Not necessarily. 2 and 3 have a different publisher.
Hmm not necessarily:

Doh, got excited for a minute, confused this for the Black Dahlia, a FMV game that had Dennis Hopper which I have the box version of and never got around to playing and suspect with all 8 CDs that I'd probably have more fun and games trying to get it working then actual play time.

This game however I'm not familiar with so I'll have to investigate

Yay! lnsta... wishlist. Just kidding - it's sitting happily on my GOG shelf. Now where are 2 and 3? :-)

Hahaha! It seems some people are throwing a hissy fit that Nordic won't be giving them free Steam keys.

Yay for both the game and the awesome bonus stuff!

Like the inclusion of a FLAC soundtrack, I'll have to think about it given my credit card shock of late. Do I have time to learn german for the extras, (probably at the rate I'm going through my games backlog)

Weird how people bitch and moan about not getting something for free that plainly has costs associated with it.

Ohh.. I would so re-buy it here, to replace my old discs, had it a French edition..

To speak a few words about it without important spoilers, this is a really good "horror" point & click, the setting is interesting, a son coming back to his family domain at the notice of his grandfather strange death, to investigate its cause.. Small but good cast of different characters, day by day more victims of gruesome murders, a plot intriguing about what is actually going on, with unexpected answers..

The game engine is good, with this release probably a lot less of stuttering animation and loading times from access discs as I knew them, well hopefully. The visuals are effective for the mood, sorrowful and rainy with a reasonable number of locations to visit.. The puzzles designs are mostly logical, though a walkthrough might prove necessary at some points..

Good to see this game finally where it rightfully belong, as a GOG entry!

Just a testament to the fact that many people have incredible entitlement mentalities. They don't bother to say "please" or to make a polite request even in general, they just make hostile demands about what they "deserve" and act like spoiled children, and if they don't get their way they just go into an angry rage and throw a verbal Internet tantrum.

It's sad really.

If you want Black Mirror 2 and 3 on GOG try contacting Jason Carver (hockeycanuck).

He is a volunteer moderator for Viva Media who got the rights for these 2 games (among others).

I don't know how much he can do but he sent me and many others Steam keys for Black Mirror 2 and 3 which I had bought on Indie Gala.

That's so, so true. While BM3 nails the gloomy atmosphere the series is famous for, the plot is a trainwreck - it's scattered, aimless, veers dangerously close to cheesy territory and runs out of steam approximately halfway through. There's no mystery or suspense, which is the biggest offender.
