Description
The Smoking Mirror is the sequel to
Circle of Blood and the second game in the Broken Sword series. The player alternately controls George Stobbart, the protagonist of the first game, and Nicole Collard, the French journalist he met in the first game and who has since become his girlfriend.
The game is entirely in 2D and gameplay is in typical point-and-click fashion. The player moves the character around using the mouse, examines the environment, talks to other people and collect items stored in an inventory. These items need to be used or combined with other items to solve puzzles.
The game starts with George witnessing the kidnapping of Nicole. This event eventually leads to an investigation into a conspiracy revolving around a forthcoming solar eclipse and the evil Aztec god Tezcatlipoca. The locations visited throughout the game include Paris, Marseille, London, Quaramonte, the jungle, a Caribbean environment and a zombie island. Certain locations from the previous game make a return.

Trivia
When in the abandoned Subway station, after picking up the coin from the vending machine, use the coin on the vending machine. Then pick up the bar of chocolate from the machine and walk to the right to find a ghost. It will disappear when you get close to it, but then walk to the left and a secret exit will appear. Enter to unlock a scene from
Beneath a Steel Sky, an earlier game by the same developers.
