STORY

A cold-war experiment has has opened a door it cannot close.

In 1963. A secret government agency runs a classified program called Project Looking Glass: a technology that projects a subject's consciousness into the astral plane, displayed on cold-war cathode monitors. You are Subject 7, a grieving woman recruited for your extraordinary ability to reach further than any subject before you.

NAVIGATE THE PROJECTIONS

Explore surreal, sometimes peaceful, sometimes terrifying shifting dreamscapes rendered through the cathode glow of Cold War-era monitors. Every environment is a projection of memory, grief, of places that shouldn't exist.

UNCOVER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

You play as subject 7, piecing together the truth through recovered audio logs, memos, and feed recordings left behind in the astral plane. Solve the mystery of what happened to you as you live through it. 

Features:

• A narrative-driven first-person psychological thriller set during the Cold War

• Explore dreamlike projections through the lens of a retro CRT apparatus

• Uncover the story through audio logs, memos, and environmental storytelling

• A distinctive visual style blending lo-fi CRT effects, VHS glitching, and screen-locked textures

• Localized subtitles in 11 languages

This is my third game as a solo indie dev. I hope you really enjoy! The only thing I try to do when making games, or art in general (I am primarily a musician and visual artist), is to try to make something that I myself like a lot. This is a weird looking and strange game and I put my whole heart in to it and I hope you love it. And I am sorry in advance for the bleak ending.
