A Mirror, Darkly

About this game

"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.

  • Steam Deck and Xbox controller support
