Black Mirror III story set up

4 April 2011

Lace Mamba Global has released a Black Mirror II trailer that gives new insights into the story of the upcoming final episode of the Black Mirror point-and-click horror-adventure series.

Lace Mamba Global plans to publish Black Mirror III on 22 April 2011 in the UK and Ireland, as well as in Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia and the Benelux countries. MyGaming is still awaiting confirmation on the arrival of the game in South Africa.

Black Mirror III begins just seven minutes after the events of its predecessor game, Black Mirror II. The trailer also reveals the first details about Adrian Gordon’s horrifying visions, the game’s puzzles and its locations.

Black Mirror 3 takes players back to locations around the Black Mirror Castle. Black Mirror 3 features a total of 62 different locations, some of which may be familiar to players of the original game, and all locations have a completely new graphical look.

The story connects with the end of Black Mirror 2, and promises a deep, mysterious story, including two playable characters.

After his escape into the woods, Darren Michaels, one of the two main characters of both Black Mirror 2 and 3, stands with a burning torch in his hand, and turns to look back at the blaze engulfing Black Mirror Castle. Confusion reigns…

A short time later, he barely reacts as the handcuffs are closed on his wrists. The police have arrested Darren as their main suspect, and subject him to extensive questioning. But Darren is numb to the events occurring around him, and he withdraws into a deep emptiness.

After three weeks of detention – and tormented by sleepless nights, nightmare-like visions, and the chilling spectre of murder and death – Darren is set free.  Darren is now alone. He must try to find out what has happened, and lift the veil on his clouded past. What did he really see with those jet black eyes, what does the nightmare mean? Who is the mysterious person who posted bail and set him free? What dark force lies behind the tangled web of riddles, mysterious secrets and entwined relationships?

The answers to all these questions await puzzle and adventure game fans in the six chapters of Black Mirror 3.
