Nick's daughter, Joan, pleads with Sam to find the truth behind her father's death during his stay in the town. Sam quickly gets involved in the sinister truth behind Nick's death, and the sleepy West Virginia town he inhabits. | |

Dying Town | |
| Twin Mirror (Video Game) / int_1045c71a | comment |
Dying Town: Basswood has been this since the mine closed down. Without decent job opportunities, it is being slowly depopulated and it's rare that anyone would come here except for an eccentric pharmacist and the like. As one character puts it, the ones still living here are "too poor to stay, too poor to leave". | |

Choice-and-Consequence System: The game keeps tracks of your choices during the game which can affect Sam's relationship with other characters. Specifically, there are choices about being nice to other people versus relentlessly following the investigation, labeled orange or blue, i.e. whether you listen to Him or yourself. | |

Once Done, Never Forgotten: Sam wrote an expose about Basswood's coal production that caused many people to remind him that he shut down their economy and how he ran away for two years. As a memory of Anna puts it, "People have short tempers and long memories." | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Twin Mirror (Video Game) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Not used directly but referenced in the colour-coding of the choices where you have to decide whether to go with Sam's gut or listen to Him. Likely done so that the colour-coding wouldn't easily track onto familiar Light Is Good/Dark Is Evil tropes, which might colour the player's opinion of one path or the other, since in Twin Mirror there aren't really many clear-cut "good or bad" choices. | |
