It was going really well until that mirror maze 😭😭😭 I don't think I'll be able to handle it myself but I'll probably watch someone play it later. It's super pretty and interesting though!

beautiful visuals, particularly for the rpgmaker genre, and it does well to set the mood and atmosphere.

lackluster story greatly overshadowed by amazing visuals that i'm starting to think they might've done that on purpose


não entendi porra nenhuma e ainda assim é meu rpgmaker favorito pois [harpae me trancando numa gaiola

nota: dei 4 porque novamente não entendi porra nenhuma mas fica no ar se é porque eu sou burra

Got softlocked. Never save in the middle of a chase folks.

Such a pretty game, love the graphics and the story. I played it during a stay at my grandma's house and it was so fun.

gorgeous art, music, and map design but the storytelling (or lack thereof) vexes and torments me to no end. while there are some legitimately interesting bits of lore, the presentation falls flat -- the devs purposely left the story in pieces for players to find on their own, but those pieces never really come together as a cohesive whole. the puzzles can be pretty obtuse and operate largely on trial and error. also just as a warning there's a bug that makes the game crash (pretty frequently) if you enter a map too fast

all that being said, it's still a pretty game and a top-tier example of what you can do with rpgmaker graphics, and I'm still following the development of its prequel in hopes that it'll improve and expand on the parts I actually enjoyed. I don't recommend it if you're here for plot, but I do come back to it every now and then so if you have time to kill and you're at all interested in playing I'd say go for it

I accompanied the developing of this game so I'm biased. Anyway, it has pretty graphics and over all I liked it. Would repeat.

beautifully designed horror. the puzzles are a bit obtuse.

i will finish pocket mirror it's just very difficult and long

i still have no idea what was going on in there but its fun and pretty :)

confuso e bonito... principalmente confuso

Amazing gameplay, good characters, decent story. Although, there are too many unanswered questions. I dont like how they left out important details to make it seem more mysterious but it doesnt really work that way...

One of the few games I’d rate a full 5 stars…everything about it is GORGEOUS. The plot, the characters, the soundtrack, the puzzles….I will never get over it…Excited for the remaster!!

One of the best RPG Maker horror games I've ever played.
I LOVE this game.
The music is professional, not a level you expect in a indie game. Regarding the puzzles they are arguably some of best i've ever seen in an RPG Maker, the story is a masterpiece, i can't describe it with human words or without spoilers.
The atmosphere is 10/10, each area has it's own theme and each character you encounter in your journey is really interesting and gives you a piece of the puzzle to solve the story. The pumpkings you enocounter are really cute.
Why are you still reading this review? PLAY POCKET MIRROR for your own good.

One of the best RPG Maker horror games I've played. Made by fans of some of the classics, for fans of the classics. Both the art and music in this game is absolutely GORGEOUS. I love the music in particular, the tracks in this game are on a professional level of composition. Puzzles are well on par with The Witch's House (which arguably has some of best the puzzles in RPGMH) and the story is great. Each area has a unique theming that connects to the overarching plot and the various endings are satisfyingly horrific and/or depressing (or a feeling of resolve in the case of the true ending). My only gripe are a few of the more difficult puzzles, which don't exactly have a very clear solution, and some of the auto-chase segments are a bit too tedious. Writing is great, story has a unique twist, art and setting is beautiful, all of the music is a bop, and most of the gameplay is engaging.

i was waiting for this game the second it was announced in development and have the distinct memory of wanting to get on the special beta testing tumblr w/the hint they gave us to the point of desperation. it was to the point that i started entering random dictionary words. it was one of the only places i should have known. luckily, pocket mirror eventually released and it really was a fantastic game that it lived up to what i was praying for
