Description: Don’t standstill. Don’t turn back. And don’t trust your eyes. Step into Looking Glass, a PC horror VR game set in the darkness of a hedge labyrinth. Peer through the blackness—and keep tabs on the strange figures surrounding you—using nothing but a hand mirror.
Review: ‘Looking Glass’ is an Alice in Wonderland style experience that is especially a maze running game with a horror twist. You basically run around a randomly generated maze solving the odd puzzle all the while trying to out-run a monster that you can only really see with your mirror in hand. While the graphics are VERY basic (in fact, they remind me of the original Doom game) they are good enough to make the game tense and kind of exciting. It took me just under 2 hours to finish the maze for the first time, but others might do this far quicker. But then again, I got this in a sale for £0.79 and I was very happy with my purchase, but even for £3.99 this game is well worth a look for a little bit of horror fun. Sure, it doesn’t look great, but it is worth a look.
