About This Game The main character is a hunter who looks for ancient relics. One day he set off to find a legendary mirror which concluded the great force and so great evil, keeping secrets of a magic artifact. You have a chance to know were is a mirror, but be careful the evil waits for you continually. 7aa9394dea Title: White MirrorGenre: IndieDeveloper:GDNomadPublisher:Infernal DreamRelease Date: 26 Jan, 2016 White Mirror Download] [crack] It's really bad not going to lie. Pros:Spooky atmosphere,Decent looking textures,Cons:Broken English,Sluggish movement,Sfx are too loud,No options menu,Jump key was the number 7 for some reason,Sum up:Game was pretty disappointing, exactly what you would expect from a low end indie horror game,over powered sound effects, lots of spelling and grammar errors, keys and obscure notes everywhere,not really worth the money with all the free indie horror games out there unless you get it in a bundle.. Good horror. I like the games by Yuriy. You should buy this game!. The world-reknowned developer of such classic indie-horror games as My Bones and Verge: Lost Chapter returns! Not exactly "triumphantly" - that'd be a stretch - but I'm actually going to "recommend" this one, believe it or not. Before your itchy fingers go hittin' that "Add to Cart" button, however, allow me the benefit of a few small "disclaimers"... Firstly, no, I don't know the dev personally, and if I did I would have happily offered to translate all text in his game into English...something which Google has clearly failed to do on his behalf. I actually suspect that one day I may in fact cave and offer my translating "skills" (i.e. I do actually speak English) to one of these Euro developers, but I think I'll save that for the day I find a genuinely talented one. Yuriy Mamedov is not that developer - certainly not yet - and this is certainly not that game. But one day, perhaps... Secondly, Steam DOES NOT HAVE A NEUTRAL BUTTON. I seem to have confused punters more than once in the past by thumbing-up something which I seem quite critical and/or "meh" about, and this is simply because I figure a 5 or more out of ten has GOT to qualify as some kind of "pass"; and as this game is neither outrageously incompetent nor entirely unentertaining, I figure I'd give it a C-minus if I was a teacher. Hence, a 5 out of 10. Hence, a thumb-up rather than a thumb-down. If you should have a problem with this ratings system I have employed, KINDLY GO EAT A♥♥♥♥♥♥ It's a reviewer's opinion, not a command from God. Would you like me to WIPE YOUR♥♥♥♥♥♥for you, also? Then again, if you've read this far into the review, I'm presuming you didn't just thumb my "positive" review down on sight, out of principle, and type some nonsense below about how I'm "obviously friends with the developer". Steam users really do need to learn to READ reviews before jerking their knees as the first response. Just because a reviewer gives a game a reluctant thumb-up DOES NOT mean that they believe said game to be the best ♥♥♥♥in' thing since sliced bread. 5/10 means just that...a pass. BARELY. Thirdly, Mr Mamedov, unlike a number of his peers, actually does show some vague and distant POTENTIAL. I'm not saying he's come anywhere NEAR to that potential here...no sirree. But at least he finally made a game which lasts for longer than twenty minutes - well, okay, about twenty-five, but that's still progress - and he has finally proven that he knows how to create a tiny bit of ATMOSPHERE. His use of SOUND is especially commendable...he truly does know how to set up a smidgen of eeriness, and upon rare occasion even pays off said attempts at "suspense" with something resembling the aural equivalent of a bona fide "jump-scare". He then, of course, proceeds to ♥♥♥♥ it all squarely in the♥♥♥♥♥♥by having some staggeringly lame "chase scene" where you stroll very briskly up a corridor while a monster who LOOKS like it's running full-pelt somehow never seems to catch up with you...but this is what the word "potential" is all about. Mr Mamedov at least gets part-way there, and on this occasion, he's arguably gotten further than he ever has before. If he would just stop asking money on Steam for short-as♥♥♥♥♥♥DEMOS, and devote five years of his life to making a substantially LONGER game combining all his strengths - while hopefully leaving out his myriad weaknesses - then we may actually have a contender for an honest-to-God, true-to-life VIDEO GAME DESIGNER. Seriously, at this rate, I reckon I'll be handing out a 5.5 to Yuriy's next game, and a 6 to the one after that...so we're only about five or six more "games" away from something a human being might actually want to PAY for. Keep up the good work, Yuriy. I, for one, believe in you. The bits in the underwater caverns in this game are actually REALLY GOOD. Atmospheric. Spooky, even. BRIEF, yeah, but...gettin' there. VERY, VERY SLOWLY...but definitely gettin' there. So the choice is yours, humble reader. You can pay five bucks - less, on sale - for a twenty-five minute demo which would make a Mum proud, or you can spend your money on something else. Personally, I've paid good money for much, much worse here on Steam in the past twelve months or so. Hell, I even got a good chuckle out of the insanely bad A.I. which had the game's one-and-only "enemy" perpetually running at a whopping great iron fence in some misguided attempt to get at me...so I'm happy. Oh, and we even get a sweet little carrot on a stick at the end, with those immortal words "To be continued" coming up on the screen. I don't doubt it for a second, Yuriy, my friend. I don't doubt it for a second. Verdict: 5/10.(PS Cheers for the free copy, Yuriy. One thing, though...I haven't received that five hundred bucks in my account yet. Any chance of speeding that up? I have several hard-core, illicit DRUG HABITS to feed here, my man...cheers again. Pleasure doing business with you!). Crashes constantly.. White Mirror is Infernal Dream's third indie horror game - not that I played the ones before yet - and just one of those mediocre 15 minute hits on horror with really, really, REALLY bad narrative translation. For the record, my play time is for the pure purpose of dropping game cards. It might have been a recommendation if you are a strict horror games collector who wouldn't mind the lack of a story, but for the ordinary gamer who'd enjoy a decent horror, this clearly is not it.Our game here has the implication of a story through some notes scattered around the environment, but the narrative translation is so genuinely bad, I'd be fascinated if someone would be able to understand who is who, and what's been going on. From the fragmented word usage in the notes, I've manage to gather that our hero is some kind of an occult collector\/artifact hunter in search of an item called "The White Mirror". His search leads him to our starting area, a seemingly abandoned house. There is someone called Martin leaving us most of the notes, and I guess that's an informant of some sorts. As we go further into the house, we'll discover the mention of another person - P.G. - who should have been the former proprietor of the said mirror... and no, said mirror won't even make an appearance in this 15 minute horror shot.Graphic wise, it is mediocre. Nothing miraculous, nothing horrendous. Darkness and color shades are real heavy though as if that's a prerequisite for horror games. Shadows are heavily relied on to hide the absence of an interesting environment. The whole space is pretty much empty, without any scenic display or relevant appearance. One good thing that can be said about the atmosphere is the use of sound effects. They are successfully recorded, quite unnerving and placed around to trigger in just the right time. Once you outgrow those, you get bored straight though.Even though the game can be categorized as a horror, it is not atmospherically strong enough to unsettle you. The gameplay itself doesn't compensate for that either. For the duration of your whole game, the only threat you'll face will appear by the ending and you can easily bug it out to call it a day. There is only one "puzzle" that will ask you to hit some keys in the correct order used for 3-4 times. Aside that, you keep collecting some keys and items to progress. Yup, that's all. Oh, and you are given the opportunity to drink some wine and see everything in shades of red and a bit distorted from time to time. Cheers.It's not a necessarily horrible game. It just isn't interesting enough to spare time for. As long as you know what it is, you can try to give it a shot, or spare the money and watch a playthrough video. It is short and not much of an experience anyhow. The most disturbing negligence for me was the lack of decent translation for narratives. That downright kills the immersion, and there is nothing else to keep you interested anyhow.Please also check out Lady Storyteller's Curator page here - follow for regular updates on reviews for other games!
