Inspired by Silent Hill & Stranger Things
Pulling from the science gone wrong of
Stranger Things and the psychological horror of
Silent Hill ,
Mirror Forge combines the two in a unique blend of personal horror rooted in reality. The environment, alternate realities, gruesome beings, and plot are built with heavy symbolism in mind. Everything that happens all around the player represents some sort of version of the inner turmoil and psychological struggles of the main protagonist.
Our Story Up To Now
Two years ago, Thomas Jackson made the fateful choice to drive instead of take the bus. A few drinks too many in a night of celebration put his girlfriend Jill in a coma... and their unborn child in the grave. Wracked with unfathomable guilt, Thomas unsuccessfully attempts to end his life. Years have passed and with the help of therapy and medication, Thomas has begun to pick up the pieces of his life.
Tragedy strikes again when Thomas loses his job—his one last connection to a normal life—due to a global pandemic. Reaching out to his now ex-girlfriend Jill, he is strangely unable to find her. In her place, a mysterious tape and a terrifying mystery...
Where is Jill?

It all started like a normal investigative piece. What happened? Where are the kids? Why are the authorities unable to find anything? Is this some kind of coverup? All that changed with an explosion, and mysterious blue light.
