About this game
The Art of Reflection is a first-person puzzle game that explores mirrors as if you could pass right through them. What happens when you cross through a mirror and walk around in mirror-land? What if objects, or even gravity aren't the same on the other side? Unfold complex reflected paths as you learn to navigate this world with mastery.
Your primary tool is a snap zoom that lets you pass through mirrors, cover long distances in an instant, redirect effortlessly midair in slow-motion, and more. Solve puzzles inside a room, then clamber your way upside-down across the back side of the same structure. A labyrinthine architecture is waiting for you to uncover its hidden corners.
