Black Mirror is a [[PointAndClickGame point-and-click]] horror adventure game developed in 2003 by Future Games. The name refers to the ancestral manor of the Gordon family located in England.

After the mysterious death of his grandfather, Samuel Gordon is forced to return to his home Black Mirror Castle after twelve years. Everyone believes his grandfather committed suicide, but Samuel isn't so sure about that and wants to find out what really happened. It doesn't help that Samuel suddenly gets a lot of vivid nightmares and excruciating headaches. Soon, strange and unexpected deaths occur in the nearby village Willow Creek and Samuel gets closer and closer to a dark secret.

Some years after the original, Black Mirror 2 and Black Mirror 3 were developed by Cranberry Production. They take place in the 1990s, twelve years after the first game. The [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent college student]] Darren Michaels is working at the local photo shop in Biddeford, a small town in New England. One afternoon, he meets the beautiful Angelina who promptly gets accused of murdering Darren's boss [[AssholeVictim Fuller]]. While trying to help her, he realizes things aren't what they seem to be: a mysterious stranger is following Angelina around and Darren himself gets involved in a series of strange events that eventually lead him to the small English village of Willow Creek. He learns about the Gordon family and a century-old curse that is connected with them.

The original is loved by fans for its dense, eerie atmosphere and story, the sequels have more humour, better graphics, and not quite the same depth, but all in all most fans agree they are in the spirit of the original.
