Features
Detective Story. Dive deep into a psychological investigation in a remote village where every clue matters and each character hides something beneath the surface. Only curiosity, persistence, logic—and a bit of luck—can lead you to the truth.
Choices Matter. The village of Brightmere is alive and responsive to your decisions. The path you forge through your choices will determine the direction of the story and lead you to one of five unique endings.
Mystical Abilities. Use the powers of an old camera to slow time and reveal hidden opportunities or secret paths. But choose wisely—film is limited, and there’s no way to get more in the village.
Deeply Personal Journey. Reflections in Amber is a metaphor for running from oneself and finding the strength to confront personal demons. Investigating a death is only part of the challenge. The bigger question is, if Redbreast can find a way to mend her own life?
Striking Visuals. Though the village may be forgotten by the world, its surreal landscapes and mystical ambiance will leave a mark. Each character is rich with personality, and the illustrated scenes hide subtle clues for the observant eye.
Concise Story. Reflections in Amber is a compact yet complete tale—after all, the detective has just one night to uncover the truth. Perfect for one or several immersive evenings of gameplay.
