Get your investigation team ready, because things are about to get very strange! In 'Dark Reflections', we are thrown into an isolated and decaying country estate, where the mystery begins with the inexplicable disappearance of Ada Miller. What seemed like a simple missing person case soon transforms into a surreal nightmare, where reality itself begins to warp and the walls between our world and terrifying dimensions start to crumble.
As investigators, you will have to explore the ruined corridors of this manor, trying to decipher the clues left behind by Ada to discover her ultimate fate. But don't expect a quiet stroll: the game pits you against frightening events and creatures that defy logic. The experience is intensely atmospheric, blending the tension of cosmic horror with the dynamics of a modern RPG.
The big advantage here is the app integration, which handles all the heavy lifting of narration and monster control, allowing you to focus on what really matters: immersion and survival. You'll need to manage your resources, make quick decisions, and, above all, cooperate, as trying to face these horrors alone is the fastest way to lose your sanity. If you love that feeling of 'I don't know what's behind that door', this scenario is perfect. It's a journey of suspense where every clue could be the key to salvation or the trigger for a complete mental collapse. Will you be able to unravel Ada Miller's enigma before reality completely collapses over your heads?

Do I need the base game to play?
Yes! Dark Reflections is a scenario expansion, so you need Mansions of Madness (Second Edition) to play.
How long does a game last?
Be prepared to invest some time. Sessions usually last between 3 to 4 hours, depending on the group's pace.
Is it hard to learn?
The complexity is medium (weight 3.3). The app helps a lot by guiding the rules, but resource management requires attention.
Can I play solo?
Yes, the game supports 1 to 5 players, and it's a very eerie experience in solo mode.
Is the app really necessary?
Yes, it acts as the 'Game Master'. Without the app, you cannot process events or the narrative.
Is the game too scary?
It focuses more on suspense and psychological horror than 'jump scares', but the atmosphere is quite heavy.
