About This Game

A cold-war experiment has has opened a door it cannot close.

The year is 1963. A secret government agency runs a classified program called The Looking Glass — a technology that uses hemispheric synchronization waves to project a subject's consciousness into an astral plane, displayed on cathode monitors. You are Subject 7, a grieving woman recruited for your extraordinary ability to reach further than any subject before you.

Navigate the projections.

Explore surreal, sometimes peaceful, sometimes terrifying shifting dreamscapes rendered through the cathode glow of Cold War-era monitors. Every environment is a projection — of memory, of grief, of places that shouldn't exist.

Uncover what happened.

Piece together the truth through recovered audio logs, memos, and feed recordings left behind in the astral plane. Solve the mystery of what happened to you as you live through it. 

Features:

  • A narrative-driven first-person psychological thriller set during the Cold War

  • Explore dreamlike projections through the lens of a retro CRT apparatus

  • Uncover the story through audio logs, memos, and environmental storytelling

  • A distinctive visual style blending lo-fi CRT effects, VHS glitching, and screen-locked textures

  • An original score and full voice acting

  • Localized subtitles in 11 languages

This is my third game as a solo indie dev. Warts and all, I hope you really enjoy! The only thing I try to do when making games, or art in general (I am primarily a musician and visual artist), is to try to make something that I myself like a lot. This is a weird looking and strange game and I put my whole heart in to it and I hope you love it.

This game was inspired be games like:

P.T.

Stanley Parable

LSD Dream Simulator

Dreamcore

Subliminal

Petscop

My house.wad
