Refraction: Beyond the Mirror

About

You wake up inside a decaying mansion with no memory of how you got there. A monstrous entity stalks the halls while you scavenge for clues hidden in ancient runes and cryptic altars. Use first-person exploration to navigate shifting rooms and avoid detection, relying on stealth and quick thinking to survive. Mirrors scattered throughout the house offer glimpses of eerie secrets that might help you figure out the mansion’s dark history and find an exit before the Creature closes in. The game’s tension comes from its atmospheric design and unpredictable encounters. Released in early 2022, it leans into classic survival horror tropes with a focus on environmental storytelling. Players note the mirrors’ dual role as both puzzle elements and narrative tools, though the short runtime keeps things tight. While not graphically ambitious, the creaking wood and muffled footsteps create a reliably creepy vibe for fans of tense, low-light prowling.
