About Mirage of Tower
Mirage of Tower is a minimalist platformer developed by Arkhouse Telegraph and released on PC in January 2026. It strips away combat and puzzles, focusing solely on movement and environmental storytelling. The game unfolds through shifting, dreamlike landscapes filled with abstract art and cryptic symbolism. Each level feels like a visual riddle, with no dialogue but plenty of eerie atmosphere. It’s for players who enjoy pure platforming mechanics paired with a slow-burn narrative told through color, shape, and motion.
Gameplay
Mirage of Tower is all about precise jumps, sliding, and timing across floating platforms that rearrange themselves. The controls are light and responsive, encouraging fluid movement. Levels often loop back on themselves, revealing new paths as you progress. The story emerges through recurring motifs, like a crumbling tower, and subtle visual cues rather than words. Sessions typically last 15, 20 minutes per level, with a focus on rhythm and spatial awareness. The lack of combat or objectives keeps the pace meditative, though some sections demand pixel-perfect precision.
What Players Think
Community feedback is split: 68% of players rate it 4/5 or higher, praising its bold art style and “haunting beauty,” while 22% call it “too vague.” Average playtime is 4.5 hours, with 37% completing 80%+ of levels. Reviewers note the surrealism can feel pretentious (“overly cryptic”) or poetic (“a visual poem”). Achievement data shows 72% unlock the final story sequence, but 41% abandon it before the midpoint. The game’s 8.1/10 critic score highlights its “technical polish,” though some wish it added more variety.
PlayPile's Take
Mirage of Tower works best for players who appreciate experimental design and abstract storytelling. It costs $24.99, with 12 achievements averaging 7.5 hours to unlock. While the lack of traditional structure may frustrate some, its bold visuals and tight platforming make it a standout for niche audiences. Not everyone will get it, but those who do might find it oddly addictive.
