The one in the mirror smiled at you. Are you sure that's you? Jake didn't wake up in his dorm. He woke up inside the mirror. Or more precisely — inside the Mirror Realm. Everything here reflects Jake's face, but in one of these mirrors, the reflection moves a second before he does. 【RULES OF THE REALM】 30 levels. 8 branches. 33 deaths. 4 endings. Every step is a decision. Every wrong choice resets you to the very first room. Hardcore. No checkpoints, no shortcuts. 【TWO PATHS · THE SPLIT】 At the foyer, you made one choice — hold your breath and step toward the shards, or close your eyes and trust your gut? That single decision shapes the next 29 levels. The two paths see different worlds: · On one path, a whisper guides you. The whisper lies. · On the other path, only instinct remains. The instinct is Mirror Jake helping you. There is no "correct" route. There is only: can you still recognize yourself? 【FREE TRIAL + ONE-TIME UNLOCK】 · First 5 levels are FREE — enough to know if the mirror realm is your kind of nightmare. · One-time purchase unlocks all 30 levels, 3 chapters, 4 endings, 77 death scenes. · No subscription. No ads. No third-party tracking. Permanent unlock. 【FEATURES】 · Full English + Simplified Chinese (instant switch) · 77 unique death videos + 4 ending videos, cinematic atmosphere · Fully offline. No login. No ads. · Portrait-locked. iPhone + iPad supported. · Three chapters · Mirror Foyer / Time Forge / Mirror Core 【WHO IT'S FOR】 · Narrative horror fans (Until Dawn, Detroit, Saw, Backrooms) · Players who love digging out the truth from branching paths · People who hate grind and love thinking 【CONTENT NOTE】 Contains intense horror atmosphere, fictional death scenes, and psychological pressure. All deaths occur within the fictional mirror realm. No self-harm or suicide themes. Best experienced with headphones, lights off. One thing to remember — Mirror Jake is waiting for you. The question is: which choice is he waiting for?
