Tales of the Mirror

The art is pretty good but the story is not attractive anymore. The logistic of each evidence is not strong enough and there has time limit for player, so there is no time to enjoy.

Beautiful visual, music and SFX, interesting story, but the game play is very frustrating. Wish it could be improved.

Inshort, Sherlock Holmes in Ming Dynasty era. Intro is so unique and cool. I love such indie games. The music and art style are good, despite of its looks, this game is immersive, you kinda get inside of Ming Dynasty era and live there for a moment you play this game, I even decided to buy a book about that era, so I can write my own story, too, I got the motivation. Also, main menu is so creative, like you volume up and down and musucian girls' hands move on the instrument, or changing languages change birds, it is so cool and creative. But gameplay and story not so much. As other Chinese players already mentioned, gameplay is simply hard and sometimes doesn't make sense. In Sherlock Holmes games, or other detective games, you can link evidence and use your logic to come a logical conclusion, but here, it feels like finding a needle in a haystack. So make sure to play with a guide, then you will enjoy this game. And story, well, it is not actually bad, but dialogoes could be better, or IDK, maybe it is a translator's fault not being able to deliver better translation. Anyway, I am not regretting buying this game.

Bless whoever come up with this art style! I'm rarely play game like this because it such a pain to go here and there asking, and can only save after you finish a day, so if you mess up you have to replay EVERY step. And go through so much other pain just to finish this, like watching Chinese playthrough, draw every words in gg trans when I get stuck, hoping to find the clue to continue. I wish the developer give or sell the complete guide, I want to max trust with Nan Chau, help Ko Yuh-hung and San-niang be friend etc T.T

I'm so in love with this game and the storyline, I wish there are other similar ones with same aesthetic and artwork.

The artwork is stunning, and I love the storyline as well as the mechanisms! The scroll map is stunning and interesting. I am looking forward to other works by this studio.
