How did you choose to implement the Theme: Realm of Nightmares in your game?
Mirrors often misbehave in dreams, so this is a play on that concept by using a mirror to find differences within the game world.

Did you implement any of the optional Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
nope

I loved the graphic section, it seriously looks very good. The gameplay is interesting and the mirror mechanic seemed very original to me. 

I couldn't advance in the story after finding the body, but I liked what I found.

It's a good game

I really liked the overall picture of the game and the mirror mechanic seems quite unique to me in comparison  to some other "searching" games. Some more sounds could have made the game even more immersive.
I was quite invested but could't find any differences after exiting that little room on the first floor.

Thanks for playing! This is some good feedback - I think I should perhaps give more audio clues as to where objects are or make some of the clues a bit more obvious, especially when the whole game "goes dark"

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!
