About

The Dialogue

Read full description

Everyone's felt it. As a child: the certainty something lived in your closet. The shadow-shape watching from the hallway. The absolute knowledge that if you didn't pull your feet under the covers, something would grab your ankle. As an adult: that crawling sensation when you're alone. The feeling of being observed through windows. The presence that makes you check behind the shower curtain even though you know nothing's there. You learned to ignore it. To call it imagination, paranoia, anxiety. But what if it was real the whole time? In Dialogue With The Monster: Mirror, that feeling answers back. A mirror in a dark room begins to speak. It watches you. Learns from you. Adapts to you. Every response reveals more about the thing behind the glass, and about the parts of yourself you hoped not to face. What will you say when the darkness speaks to you? Content Warning: This experience deals with themes of psychological manipulation, isolation, depression, and unhealthy relationship dynamics.
