    -alot of annoying bugs, very bad ai, repetitive lock code doors, very repetitive boring not scary jumpscares and not scary game.
    -good voice acting for indie and one good real puzzle.

    Another horror game made with Unreal.
    Unreal is a powerful engine that gives you incredible visuals without much effort.
    Which is why so many generic games are developed. But in this particular game, even what should stand out just because it's unreal, looks ugly. Which is the only thing that these types of generic games stand out for, their visuals. Even in that this game fails. The

    The only thing that seems right to me is its price. Everything else looks cheap.
    And it is not an excuse that it is made by a solo dev, because The Mortuary Assistant or Madison are too

    Technically atrocious, like 90% of horror adventure indie games are. After spending 20 mins in the menus (because if you select 21:9 res everything gets out of place) until I discovered that if you alt+f4 you can load the game again and play it in your native resolution, I start a new game and it gets stuck on loading. Ok, let's be patient, a few tries more, and finally it loads. TheTechnically atrocious, like 90% of horror adventure indie games are.

Ok, let's be patient, a few tries more, and finally it loads. The character appears in his bedroom and, well, the number of issues and design choices are awful: narrow fov, mouse lag, mouse acceleration, forced TAA (maybe you can disable via .ini) and an enormous amount of motion blur even with post processing in "low" and bad performance.

    Try as Mirror Forge might, it never reaches the ambition it establishes in the opening moments. Generic and stock-standard horror storytelling provides beats you’ve mostly seen before, leaving players going through the motions. Uninspired and funky-looking characters and monster designs rip away the mystique the game offers. There are some eerie environments, with pulsating fleshy walls amid harsh industrial complexes that feel incredibly Silent Hill. That should be praised as such. However, at the end of the day, Mirror Forge is an unfortunate case of missed potential and raising scope too high. Neither remarkable nor an offensive entry to the horror genre, you might as well let this one pass you by.

    Mirror Forge will creep you out and make you uncomfortable with its superb Silent Hill inspired environments. The gameplay is unthreatening and the story is predictable, but there’s something about this indie horror game that’ll have you soaking in its grim and disgusting dimension-hopping universe.
