Reviews

“A nightmare glimpsed through the cathode-ray tube... the combination of the Cold War, CIA experiments, a grieving mother, and the astral plane makes for a strikingly bold horror premise.”
INDIEBASE

“A very lo-fi, slow-burn, voice-acted narrative with non-linear storytelling, built entirely by one person.”
Rely On Horror

“Marked by its lo-fi texture and liminal spaces, it pursues an experience somewhere between P.T. and The Stanley Parable.”

About This Game

Project Looking Glass is an explorative, non-linear, narrative-driven psychological horror game.

STORY

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

In 1963. A secret government agency runs a classified program called Project Looking Glass: a technology that projects a subject's consciousness into the astral plane, displayed on cold-war 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, grief, of places that shouldn't exist.

UNCOVER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

You play as subject 7, piecing 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.

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

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