Twin Mirror review — A journalist uncovers a small town’s crisis

In Twin Mirror, the latest narrative game from Dontnod Entertainment, you play as a journalist whose mission is to uncover the truth. When it leads to something ugly, your job is to decide how much of the truth to tell.

Dontnod Entertainment has tackled numerous issues in its story-based games, including teen suicide, immigration, racism, transphobia, and alcoholism. With this story, a journalist investigates his best friend’s death at the request of the character’s daughter, who finds the death to be suspicious. And (spoiler alert) it leads us to a discussion about the opioid crisis. The game debuted this month on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Epic Games Store on the PC and is an example of how Dontnod is spreading out beyond the Life Is Strange series.
