Our take on Reflection

Players who need presentation controls will bounce off the game at the settings stage: there is no menu for changing visual or sound effects. Players expecting a standard quit command will meet another friction point when closing requires Alt+F4.

What is Reflection?

Reflection is a horror walking simulator set in a basement.

The player wakes without memories of who they are or how they arrived, then searches for a way out while looking for answers. The game suggests that another presence may be nearby. Its story unfolds through visual details and sound, with lighting and audio contributing to the atmosphere. The experience lasts approximately 30-40 minutes. There is no main menu or settings area, so visual and sound effects cannot be turned off or adjusted. The game is intended to be closed with the Alt+F4 keyboard command.
