The black mirror 2...

Played for 7 hours today... I couldn't piel myself off the screen untill I finished it.
And I'm still shocked how great this game is.

I loved the first one, but this one's much - MUCH better. The graphics
are just brilliant, the atmosphere is awesome (especially the fact
that the game keeps the Black Mirror manor till the end and you constantly
just want to get there.

The puzzles are logical and set in a way so you always know what to do next.
It's just perfectly fluid - like watching a movie. Never once I found myself
banging my head against the table trying to figure out what to do next.

Definitly one of the best adventure games I've played recently.

There's just one thing I don't understand... And it may be cause I played
the first one a long time ago... but...

Spoiler:
The game starts with Samuel burning down the manor... if put into a timeline... when did that happen compared to the events in black mirror 1? It couldn't be after - Samuel kills himself at the end of BM1.

And I don't recall anything about his wife or his visits to the manor before his uncle's death/suicide...

I'd be gratefull if anyone can explain it to me
