Overview

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 flavourtext 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 protagonists Irene is also capable of leaving her room, and begins the game in her classroom at her school.

The game is currently on hiatus, but will eventually be picked up again.

Gameplay Mechanics

In The Looking Glass, players follow the traditional Yume Nikki fangame exploration scheme. However, in some parts of the game, Irene will make quips when examining items, or cutscenes will play out where the characters are speaking. During these sections, their portraits appear, and they have a variety of expressions. There are no endings in the game yet.

There is a small amount of adventure gameplay in The Looking Glass, in the form of effects required to solve minor problems or puzzles.
