First Dev Diary For Psychological Thriller Game ‘Twin Mirror’ Released
Last month, Bandai Namco and Dontnod Entertainment announced their new upcoming psychological thriller entitled Twin Mirror. The episodic game will hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in early 2019, with its first episode entitled “Lost on Arrival”. The devs have now released their first developer diary for the game. Entitled “A Place for a Thriller”, the diary looks at the setting of Twin Mirror, and how the rustic town of Basswood, West Virginia and the characters who inhabit the world set the tone of the game.
In Twin Mirror, you play as the investigative journalist Sam, who has returned to his hometown to bury an old friend. However, when Sam wakes up in his motel room with a blood-stained shirt and no memory of the night before, he must embark on an investigation of his own to discover what happened. Throughout the game, Sam must use his mind’s ability (known as his “Mind Palace”) to recreate memories from the past and piece together possible scenarios in order to find the truth.
Along the way, Sam must deal with The Double: Sam’s inner voice that takes the form of a classy sarcastic version of himself. Players will have to discover the events surrounding Sam’s predicament as they progress through the story, navigating between Sam’s instincts and The Double’s quirky guidance.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
