Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to launch in Early Access so we can refine the co-op horror experience alongside the community. While the core gameplay and atmosphere are fully playable, we want player feedback to help us improve balance, progression, and future content.

We want to learn from real player experiences and make the game better throughout Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last approximately 2 years. This timeline gives us the opportunity to expand the game with new content, improve existing systems, optimize performance, and incorporate community feedback before the full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will significantly expand the experience with more areas to explore, additional rituals, new locations, and expanded lobby customization options. We also plan to add mod support, allowing the community to create and share their own content. Throughout Early Access, we will continue improving gameplay, balance, performance, and overall polish based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version contains the complete core gameplay loop and is fully playable from start to finish. Players can explore the manor, gather ritual items, complete randomized rituals, evade the entity, and escape with up to 4-player online co-op and proximity voice chat.

The current version includes multiple rituals, interactive house events, tutorials, a guide book, several explorable areas, and a complete ending. While the game is feature complete for its core experience, it is currently in Beta and players may encounter minor bugs or unfinished polish as we continue expanding content and improving the overall experience throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. We plan to gradually increase the price as we add major content and features throughout Early Access. Players who join Early Access will receive the game at a lower price than the final release as a thank you for supporting development and providing valuable feedback.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is a key part of our development process. We actively encourage players to share suggestions, report bugs, and provide feedback through our Discord community. During Early Access, we'll use this feedback to improve gameplay, balance existing mechanics, and prioritize new features.

We also plan to introduce community-driven in-game challenges and support modding in the future, giving players more ways to shape and expand the experience.”

About This Game

You receive a letter signed by your missing friend one fateful day, inviting you to her home… Do you have what it takes to get to the bottom of what has already transpired?

Even though her family has confirmed her death, and you having no place to play detective here… you still make your way to the stated address to find out what happened.

Will you regain a bond most people can only yearn for…

Or Will you loss more than you have ever known?
Only time will tell.
The being you will be against is not a matter of conflict, but of survival.

You cannot attack it, for it is not living.

You can barely evade it, for it will catch up quickly.

You can only delay its arrival enough for a slim chance at escaping, for it is inevitable.
Yet, truths can be bent when times give no relent… so seems to be the case here as well - The Being’s power can be chipped away at, enough for you to facilitate your escape, using certain Rituals.

Erode its Power, Presence and Persistence to wear out its magic and secure your escape!

But…

Beware that It knows what you will be doing. It senses each of your actions, your moves and your intent. Be sure that it will do all it can to stop you from escaping.

And it will do a lot of things to hunt you down - deception, ruthlessness, mimicry, and brutality are some of the only evils we can identify as humans that It is capable of.

The Reflection is a Co-op Horror game centered around performing mysterious Rituals using your own and your friends’ combined efforts in order to escape from an Evil Being that haunts the place which has you trapped inside.

Quick thinking, a Clear Mind and attention to The World around you are key to securing your and your friends’ escape from this cursed place.

Follow the clues hidden throughout the journal to perform ancient Rituals. Each ritual is unique and requires careful preparation.

  • Follow the journal step by step.

  • Every ritual has its own unique procedure.

  • Find the correct items scattered around the house.

  • lace and use each item in the correct order.

  • One wrong move can fail the ritual—or make things much worse.

  • Work together and communicate to survive.

    Nothing in this house is random.

    • Every object has a purpose.

    • Every symbol hides a clue.

    • Every room holds a new danger.

    • Curses lurk around every corner, waiting for the careless.

The Reflection supports online co-op for up to 4 players, complete with proximity voice chat, making communication a key part of survival.

  • Play with up to 4 players online.

  • Use proximity voice chat to coordinate rituals and warn teammates of danger.

  • Revive downed teammates before it's too late.

  • Work together, share responsibilities, and complete rituals faster.

  • Stay close... or split up if you're willing to take the risk.

After each major point of progress in your rituals, the entity catches scent of the ones who did it and chases them down no matter where they are.
Run. Hide. Remain Vigilant. The monster has tracking instincts sharper than most predator animals but as you learn its patterns, and so it learns yours in the same manner. All hope will be lost if one gets too comfortable.

…and if you take too long in your heart-pounding act of survival, there will be more malicious spirits attracted towards your location. There is no fairness when it is a situation for existence.

  • Proper horror scenario where you are equipped with only the information you can gather to survive.

  • Engaging Solo and Co-op game modes, each with appropriately scaled difficulties.
