Tales of the Mirror 12+

Beautiful game needs improvement

Hardcore detective game with beautiful graphics. Its lack of hints reminds me of some classic work in this genre. That being said, however, as a game for the mobile platforms, where a lot of us are casual players, and don’t want to go through lots of trial-and-error process. It might be better to add some hints after sending wrong present to people (rather than just taking the present and saying ‘I don’t know what you are talking about’, oh, your heartless NPCs!) remove useless clues in the clue combination screen and allow players to save anytime during questioning.

As for the English translation, I (only halfway through) noticed some hard to translate mini puzzles have been simplified. However there’s some translational inconsistencies in this game, i.e. the names of some characters keep changing. And one major problem that prevents player from progressing through is the number of soy sauce in the cooking prep mini game. (The text says 1 mace but it ought to be 10.) Other than that, some word choices are a bit funny, like calling courtesans in ancient China geisha is not a big deal for many, but does ruin the atmosphere for some. The whole translation seems a laced teamwork lack of proofreading, which is quite common nowadays.

Need to fix the bugs

I really like this game, but no matter what I do I am unable to get pass the yamen trial. I even looked at the walkthrough and am still unable to pass.

Great game worth to play

The graphic deserves a top rate! No way you can find another game in the same category beats this one. It tells a good story, plus various game elements and interesting puzzles. However, like someone mentioned, a few puzzles lack of enough information for players to put clues together. It becomes common to me that I can’t find the answer even if I have collected all clues that necessary for the puzzle. There’s certainly improvement needed, but I do hope that there will be a next game!!!!
