The Mirror Doesn't Lie

A short, emotionally-driven horror visual novel about grief, guilt, and facing the past.

You return to your childhood home after the death of your estranged father. The house is quiet now, far too quiet. But the walls remember. So do the rooms. And somewhere behind the broken glass and flickering memories, so do you.

Explore the house. Confront five haunting memory fragments. And choose how to reflect on what you find. Your choices shape how the story ends—whether you leave healed or haunted.

CONTENT WARNING

Themes of child emotional abuse, parental death, trauma, self-doubt, flashing/flickering visuals (very slow)

Also, this is my very first game I've ever made, so I hope you like it, and constructive criticism is always welcome!
