"The mirror is a thing not meant for mortal eyes, its frame slick with an unnatural sheen as though carved from the petrified bones of something long dead yet never truly silent. The surface not mere glass, but a pane wrought from the void itself, the reflection warped in ways too subtle to notice at first. Wrong beyond articulation" 

In A Mirror, Darkly things may not be as they seem. In this first-person puzzle game, you find objects in the mirror's reflection in order to escape the nightmare world you have been brought to. 

Features

  • Explore the world in first-person perspective, interacting with your surroundings
  • Find objects using a novel mechanic - using a mirror to look behind you to see if the object appears differently and identify it to progress.
  • Psychological horror, building tension through audio and visual elements.
  • A short experience, akin to an H.P. Lovecraft novel or internet creepypasta.

Very good

I loved the concept! It's a really fun scavenger hunt that involves using the mirror's reflection to look for stuff that doesn't appear to the naked eye.


I got two spine chilling moments and that's great! Good atmosphere!


The only bad thing I encountered is the second door didn't open during my first playthrough and I spent a lot of time looking for a clue that didn't exist. Also, after the final clue, I was transported inside the fireplace haha.


Good stuff!

Great to hear! I expected some weird stuff to happen tbh, especially as its just been me testing it and I know exactly the "golden path"
