Every Madness Started Normal Once

Mirror Forge is a first-person psychological survival horror game featuring alternate dimensions wreathed in darkness and beings more terrible and vague than your worst nightmares. Solve puzzles, both logical and ones that require skill, survive seen and unseen beings, investigate and gather clues in a completely unfamiliar world as you try to avoid the grasp of utter madness when reality warps all around you.

Heavily Inspired by Silent Hill & Stranger Things

The environment, alternate realities, gruesome beings, and plot are built with heavy symbolism in mind. Everything that happens all around the player represents some sort of version of the inner turmoil and psychological struggles of the main protagonist.

You play as Thomas Jackson...

An everyman man who got drunk 2 years ago and crashed his car in a tree, putting his girlfriend Jill in a coma on the day he was going to propose. Little did Thomas know that Jill was pregnant and that night, they lost their baby. She broke up with him afterward. Depressed and feeling immense guilt, Thomas tries to kill himself. Having some professional help, he starts taking antidepressants and starts to get better when the 2019 Pandemic hits and he loses his job.



Thomas still strongly believes that his girlfriend will come back, that she will forgive him and they will get a second chance to do things right this time. That they can be the couple they used to be before his alcohol addiction. The game starts when he decides to call his girlfriend (who's a journalist) and try to talk to her, try to fix things up like before. And then, he sees a found footage…

She has mysteriously vanished

Jill, a reporter, went with her News team to Devil’s Womb Canyon where reportedly 3 buses of students suddenly disappeared. The police weren’t able to find anything for more than 2 months. And all Thomas saw on the video was Jill and the News team running away from a blue light resembling an explosion blast.

There’s Something in the Dark

Strange events begin to occur in Thomas’s apartment. Surreal voices, scratches on the walls, knocks, and steps in the middle of the night. Little does he know that he’ll be thrust into different, dark realms of pain and machinery in this survival horror game. Reality warps all around him as atrocious beings haunt his every step. Alternate realities, nightmares beyond human comprehension, messages in blood saying: “Find me in Goreburg” and "It used to be a mirror before becoming a hole".

The moment he manages to escape this nightmare, he grabs his car key and rushes for Devil’s Womb Canyon where Jill was last seen.

Environment

The game is set in several varying environments starting from gloomy, narrow apartments to open towns, ancient houses, and factories, dead terrifying realities which play tricks on your mind and change constantly to reflect your inner turmoil. Get lost in hellish mazes where your haunting thoughts are the least of your problems.

Gameplay

In Mirror Forge, you are a defenseless, everyman. You'll be able to pick up elements, interact with the environment, solve logical puzzles which need some thinking as well as physical and platforming puzzles that require gaming skills. Investigate the warping reality, trying to uncover what is really happening and where has Jill vanished to.



Dying is a huge part of the game. Avoid dark entities which roam everywhere around you, deformed and symbolically designed to mock your very existence. Headphones play a crucial part in this game as there are Invisible Entities that you can avoid only if you listen carefully.
