I’m enjoying leaving my body behind in Project Looking Glass, an astral horror game in which you telewarp around a map of your terrible memories
Project Looking Glass is an indie psychological horror title by solo developer MORPH that places players as a grieving woman participating in classified Cold War-era astral projection trials. Gameplay involves navigating surreal, interconnected spaces depicted through a retro television-screen aesthetic, where progression requires solving environmental puzzles and gathering audio recordings that piece together the narrative thread through dreamlike chambers.
The creator, working primarily as a musician and visual artist, deliberately designed the game to feel unconventional and unsettling as an artistic vision. Players should note the experience includes depictions of suicide in early sequences and concludes with intentionally hopeless subject matter, which the developer has warned about in advance.
