Studio MystiveDev is a solo studio project that has released Mirror Forge, a first-person horror game that drags players through a maze of shifting realities. The game draws its mood from popular cults like Stranger Things and the Silent Hill saga, weaving a tense atmosphere where perception itself can be the most dangerous threat. The journey unfolds across several alternate dimensions, each with its own set of dangers, puzzles, and unsettling visuals that linger long after the screen goes dark.
The central figure in this gripping tale is Thomas Jackson, a man wrestling with the consequences of alcoholism. A devastating car crash shatters his life, leading to the loss of his wife’s unborn child and their eventual divorce. When Thomas finally reaches out in an attempt to reconnect with the person he once loved, the doors to a dark, mystic reality swing open. The moment he reaches for contact, a cascade of inexplicable events begins to ripple through the fractured worlds he inhabits, plunging him into a realm where guilt, grief, and terrifying entities collide.
As the story advances, Thomas must confront his deeper fears and the nightmarish creatures that haunt him. Direct confrontation offers no easy victory; the monsters are relentless, and the human ally he might expect to rely on is conspicuously absent. Players will discover that escape and survival hinge on stealth, patience, and careful observation rather than brute force. Each encounter demands silence, precise timing, and a keen sense of the environment to avoid drawing the attention of the monstrous denizens that lurk in the shadows.
Mirror Forge is currently offered at a discounted price of 499 416 rubles, with a free demo available for players curious to experience the creeping dread firsthand. The game also features a Portal RTX update, and the accompanying system requirements have been published to help players gauge compatibility before diving into the chilling adventure.
Note: The game’s presentation emphasizes psychological tension, atmospheric sound design, and a narrative that rewards careful, stealth-based progression. The experience is designed to immerse players in a haunted, multi-dimensional landscape that echoes themes of loss, resilience, and the cost of chasing contact with a fractured past.
