Game Description
A short game about finding your way in a world of unfamiliar reflections.
How does your game tie into the theme?
There are reflective gameplay mechanics, and reflective philosophy. I don't want to say anything specific.

Thank you for the feedback!
I’m writing this just because I want to explain the second level — I’m not saying you should play it again. Like Saad hinted at, the goal of that level is to get out of the maze (and into the blue). I tried making the maze solvable with some trial-and-error exploration, but I admit I didn’t have time to get it just right, and some paths are definitely more tricky than others.
Since the voting period is almost over, I’m okay with spoiling level 2 completely — if you’re curious, here’s an editor-screenshot of the entire maze, with mirrored walls overlayed.
Thanks!
The reflection is not supposed to stay there, but it’s controlled separately from the character in the first and third levels (using arrow keys instead of wasd). I wasn’t sure how to communicate this in-game, so I expected some confusion there, but I tried to be clear about the controls in the menu and in the itch description.
I’m really glad it resonated with you, that’s all I could hope for. And it’s great to hear you’re recovering — keep at it!
I love the idea of little collectables (especially bread crumb), that would have been a great addition for sure. Now I’m only planning to add subtitles and fix some bugs, but I’ll add it to my list of potential future additions anyway.
Thanks!
Yeah, I simply didn’t have time to polish “the mirrors” at all. I’m glad you enjoyed playing anyway! Thanks!
Thanks for asking! What I meant about improving the controls mainly refers to a few moments early in the game, especially when you’re still getting familiar with how things work. There are points where you can get stuck, and it’s a bit hard to break free. Maybe it’s just me not being clever enough, but in those moments, I feel like I lose a bit of focus from the amazing atmosphere that the game creates.
That said, the controls feel much smoother later in the game, once you get used to them. My comment is more about those initial movements and mechanics—it’s just a personal observation and might not even align with how the systems were designed intentionally. It’s just a small thing, but it might be worth revisiting to see if there’s room for refinement.
I see, I guess you mean the level where your reflection moves opposite of you. I think what you’re describing is actually intentional — the gimmick is that you have to find a way that’s open for both your character and your reflection, so it can feel like you get stuck if you don’t realize there’s a wall blocking your reflection… that, or you encountered a really rare bug that causes a desync/mismatch between the instances, which really messes things up. (I’m going to fix that in the post-jam update.)
Thanks again!
