New Demo For ‘Mirror Forge’ Available Now
Not to be outdone by the previous announcements at Realms Deep 2022, DreadXP’s recently-acquired upcoming Survival Horror title Mirror Forge has a new demo for you to check out. This new Mirror Forge demo is the same one that was featured at both PAX West and Gamescom, so if you missed out on those events, here’s your chance. DreadXP also posted a new trailer for Mirror Forge to Twitter, which you can see below.
Developed by MystiveDev, Mirror Forge centres on Thomas Jackson, a troubled man whose drunk driving two years ago resulted in his girlfriend Jill’s coma and the loss of their baby. Though Jill recovered, the ordeal destroyed their relationship. Compounded by his job loss, Thomas tries to commit suicide. While therapy and medication have helped, Thomas’ past comes calling once again, resulting in him seeking solace with Jill to try and get back what was lost.
However, Jill, a journalist, is nowhere to be found. His only clue: footage of her last report. Missing children, a place called Devil’s Womb Canyon, and a mysterious blue explosion.
In Mirror Forge, players must travel between alternate dimensions enveloped in darkness and home to unearthly creatures. Using mirrors to cross between these realms, players will experience a variety of familiar and bizarre environments — from gloomy, narrow apartments to open towns, ancient houses, and factories. And in keeping with survival horror tropes, in Mirror Forge, Thomas has no way to defend himself. As a result, he must evade creatures while also solving puzzles, and piece together the source of Jill’s disappearance and the otherworldly occurrences that currently haunt him.
Mirror Forge is slated to arrive Q4 2022 on Steam.
