Ghost In The Mirror: Episode 1 - Here Be Dragons Do you believe in ghosts? Are you ready to be scared?! ... Well, then I think you've got the wrong game. Seriously, I started off with the darkest intentions, wanting to create a horror game, but the urge to laugh took over. Sure, it's an adventurous game with mysterious elements... However, with constant fourth-wall breaks, irony, jokes, and vulgarity, you tend to forget about ghosts! Let me introduce myself, I'm Sui! I'm Italian, and I'm a solo indie developer.

Sitting behind my desk, I will narrate the events and guide you by the hand through this journey... ...A journey that will keep you glued to the screen from the first to the last episode.

In this adventure I'll take you to the 18th century, and together we'll experience the adventures of Roger, a morally dubious boy on the run from the law.
