The game was released for [[Windows]] on December 1, 2020, becoming the first title from Dontnod Entertainment to feature ultra-widescreen support at launch.{{note|note=Previous games from the developer have been affected by {{term|pillarboxing}} and {{term|vert-}} field of view, while [[Vampyr]] was updated to support wider resolutions post-launch.}}

''Twin Mirror'' was released for [[Windows]] on December 1, 2020 to mixed critic reviews, receiving praise for its visuals and novel gameplay elements, and criticism for being too short to fully realize its potential.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://screenrant.com/twin-mirror-game-review/|title=Twin Mirror Review: An Imperfect Image|date=2020-12-04|snippet=Dontnod has introduced some great concepts and strong visuals, and there's certainly potential within its characters and mechanics. However, it's let down by its lack of depth, a problem exacerbated by its compacted run time and occasionally awkward dialogue.}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/twin-mirror|title=Twin Mirror Review|date=2020-12-04|snippet=Between the added gameplay elements introduced by The Double and Sam’s Mind Palace, not to mention the colourful cast of characters living in Basswood, Twin Mirror had my attention from the get-go, but its short length prevents it from delivering an emotional journey comparable with anything the studio has done before.}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.destructoid.com/stories/review-twin-mirror-611720.phtml|title=Review: Twin Mirror|date=2020-12-04|snippet=Even though it's kneecapped by a short runtime (my playthrough was five or six hours, but felt set up to be much longer), Twin Mirror experiments with some slick evolutions of the Dontnod formula.}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gamespew.com/2020/12/twin-mirror-review/|title=Twin Mirror Review|date=2020-12-04|snippet=It looks fantastic too, thanks to employing a more realistic art style than Dontnod’s other games. The animation is wonderfully done, and the soundtrack perfectly sets the scene throughout. But all of that makes it more frustrating that there isn’t… more.}}</ref><ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/twin-mirror-review/1900-6417620/|title=Twin Mirror Review|date=2020-12-04|snippet=Twin Mirror has interesting new mechanics, well-realized characters, and a good understanding of what makes exploration rewarding. It's just a shame that the pacing undercuts so much of what makes it work.}}</ref>

|current state    = The game is the first Dontnod title to natively support ultra-widescreen resolutions at launch, however, one of its sections causes a softlock at these resolutions, requiring a [[#Softlock at Dennis's computer|workaround]] in order to progress through the story.

Twin Mirror is a singleplayer third-person adventure game developed by Dontnod Entertainment and serving as the first self-published product of the studio. As with Dontnod's previous works, it is built on Unreal Engine 4.

Announced in June 2018 and originally set to release as an episodic title in 2019, the game was delayed to 2020, to be launched as a complete package distributed exclusively through Epic Games Store for one year.[1][2][3]

Twin Mirror was released for Windows on December 1, 2020 to mixed critic reviews, receiving praise for its visuals and novel gameplay elements, and criticism for being too short to fully realize its potential.[4][5][6][7][8]

The game is the first Dontnod title to natively support ultra-widescreen resolutions at launch, however, one of its sections causes a softlock at these resolutions, requiring a workaround in order to progress through the story.

    "Dontnod has introduced some great concepts and strong visuals, and there's certainly potential within its characters and mechanics. However, it's let down by its lack of depth, a problem exacerbated by its compacted run time and occasionally awkward dialogue."
  5. ↑ Twin Mirror Review - last accessed on 2020-12-04
    "Between the added gameplay elements introduced by The Double and Sam’s Mind Palace, not to mention the colourful cast of characters living in Basswood, Twin Mirror had my attention from the get-go, but its short length prevents it from delivering an emotional journey comparable with anything the studio has done before."
  6. ↑ Review: Twin Mirror - last accessed on 2020-12-04
    "Even though it's kneecapped by a short runtime (my playthrough was five or six hours, but felt set up to be much longer), Twin Mirror experiments with some slick evolutions of the Dontnod formula."
  7. ↑ Twin Mirror Review - last accessed on 2020-12-04
    "It looks fantastic too, thanks to employing a more realistic art style than Dontnod’s other games. The animation is wonderfully done, and the soundtrack perfectly sets the scene throughout. But all of that makes it more frustrating that there isn’t… more."
  8. ↑ Twin Mirror Review - last accessed on 2020-12-04
    "Twin Mirror has interesting new mechanics, well-realized characters, and a good understanding of what makes exploration rewarding. It's just a shame that the pacing undercuts so much of what makes it work."
