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.

ThomNG: Hope you enjoy this unique gem release :)

And for everyone who is worrying about the rights situation: we fully own Black Mirror. Viva Media just has some distribution rights, that is all.
Thank you for your 2014 releases so far! We're still patiently awaiting for Titan Quest and SpellForce 2: Faith in Destiny.

It is awesome to see another Czech game on GOG! Kudos, GOG.

Since you don't offer original Czech version and rights aren't owned by its creators anymore (so there isn't any real pressure to support developers), I am going to withhold my $$$ till the localization appears.

A very solid series of dark adventure games. I played all three, and I think the second was my favourite. Maybe we'll soon see the sequels here, as well. Overall I'd rate the series at about 8/10 -- definitely worth a look, if you like the genre.

Horhew: Oh happy day! I've been waiting for the Black Mirror series to hit GOG for a loong time!

Now if only Black Mirror 2 & 3 would become available too, it would be great. I was a little disappointed by part 3, but Part 2 is one of my all-time favorite adventures and I think it has the best story segment of the three, with many twists and turns.
I didn't really like the ending of the second, but overall I agree. I'd say there's a pretty good chance they'll also release the sequels here.

looks interesting, but I'm broke from the summer sale and will have to wait until fall or winter...

Same here, each part's ending more or less sucked unfortunately. However, the first 3/4 of TBM2 is top-notch! By narrating its plot with all its very interesting puzzles to my younger cousin (who for 10+ years thought adventure games were boring), I got him to give adventure a chance. He is now an avid adventure fan, playing all the classics. :)

deonast: 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

yyahoo: Oh, if we're talking Dennis Hopper videogames, then I want Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller!
Hell I'll have to look into that one, never heard of it before.

I found this game to be a fun, creepy point and click adventure. Sometimes the dialog got a little plodding but otherwise it was enjoyable. One puzzle involving the Zodiac required me to look up hints though, otherwise all seemed logical or easy to figure out.

I bought the later half of this trilogy on Shiny Loot a few weeks back. Now I can own the complete collection, YAY!

Also it is really good to see a German game with so many German extras. Really well done to everyone involved with this release.

GOG you are the best! I have been waiting for this game to appear here for a long time. A classic point and click that I am looking forward to playing. Keep up the great work.

Any hope for other languages in the future (especially for the goodies) ?

Those Special Edition goodies were/are available only in German. Believe me, we looked around to see if there was some English, or any other language besides German, version of the Special Edition of The Black Mirror but, as far as we know, there weren't any :(

As for other languages, that's not up to us, sadly.
