About
"Phil in the Mirror" focuses on the experience of uncovering mysteries through careful observation and reasoning amidst light tension. You must find 'anomalies' as you pass through corridors that look the same every time. However, the true challenge of this game does not end with simply finding the 'different picture'.
Anomalies are both a threat and the only opportunity to open a new path. Every clue depends on your observation and your insight to see through the nature of the phenomenon.
You start on the 9th floor. The corridor you pass through may seem the same every time, but it might not be. You must carefully observe your surroundings to find 'anomalies'.
If you find an anomaly, immediately turn back and get on the elevator you came from.
If there is nothing wrong, take the elevator at the end of the corridor to the next floor.
If you break the rules, you cannot go down to the next floor.
These simple rules will put you to the test. Your observation is your only means of survival.
Does it end with just finding a different picture? The anomalies here are not just 'different pictures', but hold the key to opening tightly closed doors. A ringing phone is not just a source of fear, but an invitation to a story, and rising water is both a crisis and an opportunity to bring forgotten clues to the surface. Grasp the meaning hidden beyond the surface of the phenomenon and use it to advance to a new space.
This building is not just an endless series of corridors. We call this unique experience 'Metroidbrainia'. The clues you decipher and the phenomena you face become the keys to unlocking completely different areas hidden in this space. The deeper you dig, the wider and deeper this world will unfold before you.
Every puzzle is deeply connected to the one great story that this building holds. All the scattered documents, and even the anomalies themselves, are intricately intertwined towards a single truth. Your reasoning will be the power to fit the last piece of this mystery.
In this questionable space, can you face the truth and find the real way out?

게임이 전체적으로 아이디어는 반짝이나 완성되지 못한 느낌 그러나 지식 기반 게임의 불친절함과 심심함을 잘 해결하여 입문자에게는 좋은 선택 + 이상현상-류 게임과 지식 기반 게임을 접목하려는 참신한 시도 + 월드가 좁아 이동이 편함 + 초기 버전에 비해 나아진 편의성과 줄어든 점프스케어 요소 - 이상현상과 스토리가 퍼즐을 풀기 위한 장치로만 기능함 - 이상현상과 퍼즐이 다른 게임을 해 보았다면 '아 이거구나' 싶은 것들이 많음 - 퍼즐이 새로운 지역 열기 -> 비밀번호 직접 알려줌 -> 새로운 지역 열기 -> ... 로 진행되는 등 간단하며 반복적임 - 스토리가 온전히 설명되지 않으며 '내면세계' 따위로 편리하게 넘어감
Great puzzles with an interesting and emotional story hidden beneath
Really cool puzzle game. The mix of an anomaly hunt game and a puzzle game works perfectly. There is just one anomaly that can be a jumpscare and kind of horrific. But everything else is "just" eerie. But be warned : most of the puzzles are relatively easy and straight-forward.
이상현상을 통해서 퍼즐을 푸는 게임이라 지루하진 않았씁니다만 퍼즐이 너무 불친절도르 머리 깨짐도르 뭔소린지모르겠도르 힌트모자람도르 이건 그냥 푼 사람만 아~~ 그거아닌감?하고 풀것같음 모르는사람은 뭔소리냐이거 하고 머리긁음도르 그리고 스토리가 좀 더 탄탄하면 어떨지 라고 생각하는 의도치않게 공겜만 하는 사람의 의견이었습니다.......
This game is super underrated! Definitely play if you Like Blue Prince and other Metroidbranias
Оптимизация для такой графики это ужас, на RX9060 XT постоянно фризит и зависает. Игра своей идеей не нова, такого на рынке уже вагон и маленькая тележка. Большинство скримеров скопированы с других проектов, чего то свежего практически нет. Головоломки не сильно сложны. Сюжет особо не видел. Обычно такие игры можно купить рублей за 100-200 по скидке, потому что тема с аномалиями уже сильно заезжена. Учитывая все недостатки цена могла бы быть и пониже, хотя бы во время скидок. 4/10
너무 너무 즐거웠습니다. 좋은 게임을 경험하게 해주어서 감사합니다.
개처재밌게했습니다. 진짜강추 앞으로도 게임 기대되용
짧지만 재미있어요
Initially this game presents itself as an anomaly game (spot the difference, photo hunt type of thing), but it quickly reveals itself to be a very deep puzzle game, and eventually, an emotional journey with great environmental storytelling. Amazing experience.
