Thank you for your honesty! Don't worry, not everybody has to like everything lol. Yes, the reflections and the overall visuals are meant to be confusing, because you're playing as a lost soul stuck in limbo, with little direction left, and have to figure out a way back to life.
That's why it's a puzzle game, where you don't just rush recklessly through the level, instead observe, understand, and align with the pieces of the puzzle, synchronize your movement after you found the direction.
