‘Twin Mirror’ Official Teaser Trailer Released
As it was scheduled, Dontnod have revealed the new teaser trailer for their upcoming psychological thriller game, Twin Mirror. The game is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store later this year.
On top of this, Dontnod have announced that through their partnership with Epic Games, it’s allowed Dontnod to self-publish the game, as well as allow them to extend the development of the title (hence the previously-released screenshots showing a revamped protagonist Sam Higgs). The partnership has also allowed Dontnod to deliver the game in full, rather than as an episodic title (as was originally envisioned).
Off Black Creations and Oro Interactive’s subterranean psychological horror title MOLE is out now on Steam, complete with the previously-advertised 10% discount that’s on until June 29.
“Thank you to everyone who played the demo, playtested, and motivated us through this journey,” reads the update from the devteam. “We are incredibly excited for you check it out.”
Drawing on themes of religion, madness, and guilt, MOLE takes place in the eponymous colossal drilling machine deep beneath post-war Slavic soil, where you are the Navigator. Unfortunately, the crew is gone, the vessel is silent, and the Signal won’t stop calling. Your objective is simple: Keep the machine running at all costs.
Players are expected to figure out the machine’s failing systems and do their best to survive what might end up being their casket. No need to worry too much, as operating and maintaining the Mole’s complex systems is done through hands-on interaction. You’ll solve problems using in-world tools, interfaces, and machinery.
Of course, you’ll also need to survive the depths of the Earth as isolation and madness blur your reality. Along your journey, you’ll uncover fragments of your past as memories resurface and decisions echo back, along with the mystery behind your missing crew.
If you’re on the fence about MOLE, and didn’t get the chance to check out the demo prior to its release, Aaron reviewed the game prior to launch, touting it as a “great psychological horror game” for fans of Iron Lung and MOUTHWASHING.
