Rearview Mirror is a narrative videogame that takes place inside a car. A journey through the mean streets of a corrupt, hostile and dangerous world.
Rearview Mirror is about redemption and second chances. Can someone who took bad decisions repair the harm he caused? Can he change his path? Leaving the past behind depends on us. But if you can’t escape then it becomes a prison, and everything has its price.
Salvatore Marino, the protagonist of
Rearview Mirror, lost everything because he remained true to his notions of honor and loyalty. Now that he has a second chance, can he escape his former life? Will he try to win back what he lost? What will he do when everything he always wanted is finally within reach? Will he succumb to temptation?
An opportunity: to rebuild his life.
Two options: to fall into temptation or to do the right thing.
Three dangers: his past, his passengers, and temptation.
Salvatore Marino became embroiled in the criminal underworld as a young man and ended up in jail when he refused to betray his comrades. He’s served his time and now he’s middle-aged. His time in prison has destroyed his relationship with his wife and his daughter. Now he has left behind the world of crime and wants to build an honest life, in the hope of repairing his relationship with them. But nobody wants to hire an ex-con. The only job offer he has comes from his former associates, but he doesn’t want to get mixed up in any more shady goings on. They promise him it’s straightforward. All he has to do is drive the car, pick people up, take them from one place to the next… he’s just the driver. Desperate and without any alternative, Salvatore accepts, but he soon realizes that the passengers on the back seat are involved in dirty business and he isn’t going to find it easy to stay clean. A mysterious woman will try to tempt him to convert his road trip into a descent into the underworld.Activity funded by the Ministry of Culture and Sport of Spain.
