    9 and 10 For this episode really ?... 4 months of wait for 1 hour... Pretty much forced the good bigby in the interrogation... glitches... lag... the mediocrity of "episode games" shows his true face with this episode...

    Clear as water that the quality is not telltale standard, specially with 2 games in the same "short " period, sadly I already paid for the "season pass" a mistake    9 and 10 For this episode really ?... 4 months of wait for 1 hour...

    Very confusing game if you didn't play the first one first. The story starts as if it was halfway through something and I couldn't really follow it very well.

    Not as good as the first Episode, but it works to continue the story. But the next episode should offer more possibilities and real decisions.

    Four months of waiting for an hour of gameplay? That's hardly a case for celebration, even though the compelling narrative standards remained intact. [Issue #239]

    When it comes to the writing of its protagonist and furthering the story, Smoke and Mirrors is a definite step forward, especially after a three-month drought of interactive storytelling.
