What Makes Tales of the Mirror Stand Out
Tales of the Mirror is a visual novel game where you solve a series of mysteries in the Ming Dynasty to help a woman with the injustices her family has suffered.
You need to crack the case within a specified number of days, and you need to use an ancient mirror to reveal the lies and secrets hidden behind the words in your quest for the truth. Behind the twists and turns of the bizarre story lies the human condition and life-and-death decisions. Let us travel back in time to the Ming dynasty and relive this legendary story that happened in the misty Yangtze Delta.
Game Features:
- The exquisite ancient Chinese backdrops let you immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery of Yangtze Delta.
- You will be profoundly intrigued by the unexpected development of the plot and cannot help but delve further into the mystery.
- Truth is not always apparent. The ancient mirror in your possession allows you to uncover deeply hidden secrets.
- Clues lie between the lines. In the course of tracking down the culprit, you need to find important clues from the dialog, record them, and solve layers upon layers of puzzles to get to the bottom of everything.
- As a player, every choice you make will affect the direction of the plot and lead to different endings.

Community Insight:
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 us that we cant find the answer even if we have collected all clues that necessary for the puzzle. Theres certainly improvement needed, but we do hope that there will be a next game.
Big privacy issues. They can share your information with other companies.
No way to get our money back. All we get is a black screen on our iPad. Do not buy.
We really like this game, but no matter what we do we are unable to get pass the yamen trial. We even looked at the walkthrough and am still unable to pass.
This game is way too complicated. Too many different things to keep track ofnotes, clues, clue combinations, dates, time, calendars, money, inventory, clothes, people, etc. We made it to the first night at the hotel and have no desire to keep playing. We wish they would go back to the days of Mr. Pumpkin and Isolandthose were some of our favorite iOS games ever.
Hardcore detective game with beautiful graphics. Its lack of hints reminds us 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 dont 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 we dont 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, we (only halfway through) noticed some hard to translate mini puzzles have been simplified. However theres some translational inconsistencies in this game, we.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.
Spent $3 for this game but it just stuck on download forever. Fix this or give us a refund.
