FAQ:
Is this episodic? No, this is a full game. It was originally going to be episodic but with the delays they decided to release a full product.
What is this? An original Mystery Adventure game IP from developer Dontnod, creator of the acclaimed Life is Strange series of games. It features the usual mechanics of adventure games of nowadays including a branching choice system and investigations.
Reviews? None as of yet. This game is flying under the radar apparently.
Physical release? Sadly not (as of yet). The Twin Mirror Twitter account stated when asked "it's up to Namco". So digital only.
Upgraded versions (Xbox Series/PS5) happening? Not been mentioned in press as of yet either. So maybe, maybe not. Again "it's up to Namco" may be the answer.
Multiple Endings? Yes. As confirmed by the writer Matthew Ritter.

Synopsis:
The award-winning storytellers at DONTNOD invite you on another twisting adventure.
Sam Higgs was done with Basswood, West Virginia, but it seems it wasn't done with him. When the former investigative journalist returns to his hometown to say a final farewell to his best friend, it soon becomes clear that there are more chapters to be written in his troubled history.
Forced to confront his past, Sam finds himself torn between reconnecting with his loved ones and using his unique intellectual abilities to uncover the town's dark secrets. But how do you know who to trust when you're not even sure you can trust yourself?
Lose yourself in a rich, intricate storyline anchored in the gritty reality of small-town America.
As his investigation progresses, Sam will uncover a web of intrigue that winds through Basswood's evocative locations and draws in its colorful residents.
The same deductive reasoning and memory visualization skills that made Sam such an accomplished investigative journalist can help him untangle this mystery.
Reconstruct key events, revisit his past and more to unlock the truth buried deep within his unique mind.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH
Every decision, every interaction, every discovery will influence the direction of Sam's investigation and ultimately determine how much of himself he's willing to sacrifice.
There are no right or wrong answers – just follow your instincts and values to complete your story.
THE MIND PALACE
As a former investigative journalist, Sam Higgs has developed multiple analytical skills represented in the game by the Mind Palace, a place where players will discover multiple aspects of his personality.
Thanks to unique gameplay mechanics serving the narrative, Sam's Mind Palace is a safe space where the protagonist can be his true self without any pressure or judgment. Players will be able to revisit Sam's past and witness his memories during flashback sequences.
Sam's Mind Palace also plays a central part in his quest for the truth. Players will be able to study the environment and gather clues allowing the simulation of multiple scenarios to deduct the course of events or predict the story's key turning points.
Facing dramatic events and the ghosts of his past, Sam is progressively losing control of this haven of peace. He also soon discovers that the Mind Palace doesn't really help him confront his fears or reconnect with his acquaintances. That's when the Double comes into play. This is a character only Sam can see. A representation of himself more emphatic and social. Sam can always rely on this ally to guide him through social interactions and navigate a society that sometimes rejects singularity.
