'''The Looking Glass''' is a ''Yume Nikki'' fangame by Bleet/blt. It stars a girl named [[Irene]] as she explores the newly-opened world behind her mirror.
Like [[Me]] and [[Hell Diary]], The Looking Glass features spoken dialogue and flavortext when interacting with objects and characters.

Unlike most fangames the player character is capable of leaving her room, and begins the game in her classroom at her school.

Overview

The Looking Glass is an English Yume Nikki fangame by Bleet (who also made Fleshchild, the huntress of the hollow and Jasei no In:The Serpent's Lust). It was developed in RPG Maker 2003.

Like Me and Hell Diary, The Looking Glass features spoken dialogue and flavortext when interacting with objects and characters. The game also features light adventure elements, such as simple puzzles and increased interactivity in the normal world. Unlike most fangames the player character is capable of leaving her room, and begins the game in her classroom at her school.

A remake of the game was in development for some time, but was eventually cancelled by the creator.
