We are very happy to announce our collaboration with PortaPlay’s on an upcoming co-production!
Based in Copenhagen, PortaPlay studio is composed of an experienced team of about ten people. PortaPlay is currently developing an original creation, which is in line with the editorial vision and values of DONTNOD.
This future game will be the first title published by DONTNOD while developed by an external studio. As part of this partnership, DONTNOD will provide PortaPlay with its knowledge and experience acquired from previous titles, in order to support this future creation.
Xavier Spinat, Head of Publishing at DONTNOD, said: « As a publisher, we want to offer players experiences that are both accessible to the wider audience, while setting the bar high regarding themes and quality of design. From our first discussions with PortaPlay, it became clear to us that co-producing and publishing this original creation would allow us to expand our portfolio with a game complementary to our in-house productions, while remaining true to our DNA. We will be able to bring to our partner with our know-how and our knowledge of the market, in line with our communities’ expectations. »
Hans von Knut Skovfoged, Head of Development at PortaPlay, said: « We feel called to work on games with meaning. Games combining solid game mechanics and storytelling – about individuals in crisis situations tackling moral dilemmas. This new partnership is thus a great opportunity to us. Not only does it give us the opportunity to communicate with all the fans of DONTNOD’s fantastic catalogue of games, but it also allows us to work with some of the best minds in this field – to help us improve our game and give the players the greatest experience possible! »
We can’t wait to reveal more about this upcoming game soon!
We’re delighted to announce the release of Twin Mirror, our new narrative adventure on PC (Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4 (PlayStation Store), and Xbox One (Microsoft Store). In this psychological thriller, gamers are invited to the town of Basswood (West Virginia) to follow Sam Higgs in his quest for truth.
To celebrate the launch of this new game, we’re really happy to share a launch trailer.
Following the tragic death of his best friend, Sam Higgs decides to pay him one last tribute and comes back to Basswood, his childhood town. It quickly becomes obvious that this little West Virginian city holds numerous dark secrets. The former investigative journalist employs his unique deductive skills to uncover the mysteries surrounding the city and its inhabitants. Confronted with his past, Sam is torn between his quest for truth and his desire to reconnect with his loved ones. Who can he really trust?
Sam’s unique analytical skills allow the player, through a Mind Palace, to relive his memories during flashback sequences, 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. However, this particular trait can lead Sam to cut himself from the world and, sometimes hurt those around him.
That’s when the Double comes into play, a character only Sam can see. The Double is 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. Through these human qualities, the Double can offer Sam an alternative when he needs to make important decisions.
Every decision, every interaction, and every discovery will influence the direction of Sam’s investigation and will ultimately determine how much of himself he’s willing to sacrifice. There are no right or wrong answers – each player will live a truly unique experience tailored by their very own decisions.
Twin Mirror is now available on PlayStation 4 (PlayStation Store), Xbox One (Microsoft Store), and PC. The digital PC version is exclusively available on the Epic Games Store for one year starting today.
Twin Mirror is compatible with PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
