IF PLAYING THE WEB VERSION BE SURE TO USE FULL SCREEN FOR THE GAME TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY!

This Game won first place in the Themed Horror Jam #5.

WARNING! 

This game is not for children. It has intense moments and horror premise that may not be suitable for all audiences. 


1 week ago today your parents died in a horrible car accident. You haven't been able to sleep since, and when you do, your sleep is wrought with horrible nightmares. You wake in a sweat and see the old mirror you got from your parents attic has a strange green glow.. 

This is a first person game that uses all the basic first person controls. 

WASD for movement.

E to interact.

F to toggle flashlight off and on.

P to pause the game, bring up your options menu.

The main part of the game is a procedurally generated maze that has some furniture that can be interacted with. 

You are trying to gather all the pieces of the broken mirror that has an outline on the wall in your starting room. Return all the pieces here to fix your mirror and hopefully get back home to your warm soft bed.

Tip: You may not want to use up all your batteries.. The flashlight may literally save your life!

I almost passed out when I faced three ghosts. It's a good horror game. All I want is for the battery would last longer.

Yeah, You are really suppose to use the flashlight / torch sparingly. You can actually scare her away with the light.. If you only turn it on when you really need it or when she's around, the batteries work out pretty good. Im glad you liked it though. I almost had a heart attack each time I test played it. :P

That was sick and scary as hell XD two shards is my best still :D congrats on the game yo ^^

Thanks so much for playing. I still have so much I want to do to it. I would like to build it out a bit more, add an animation for replacing batteries and more atmosphere for the maze.. I'm glad you liked it!

Yeah, I created it, and when I was test playing it, I kept freaking myself out! can you give it a review? I plan to do some more work on it to get it running a bit smoother, but I just ran out of time for the jam submission. Thanks again,
