About this game
A repeating corridor, a subtly distorted space. Can you escape this infinite loop?
"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.
Observe, Judge, and Proceed.
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.
However, Control the Phenomenon and Uncover the Secrets.
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.
A 'Metroidbrainia' Structure Full of Mystery.
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.
Logical and Plausible Puzzles.
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?
