Project Looking Glass is an upcoming psychological horror game built around found footage and a real-life C.I.A. conspiracy. The game is a very low-fi, slow-burn, voice-acted narrative with non-linear storytelling, built entirely by one person, developer Morph. This is their third game as a solo developer.
Inspired by games like P.T., The Stanley Parable, and LSD Dream Emulator, players will step through the Looking Glass – a first-person psychological horror told through the static of a Cold War-era apparatus that peers into places mankind was never meant to reach.
Story
The year is 1963. A secret government program called The Looking Glass uses hemispheric synchronization waves to project a subject’s consciousness into an astral plane. You are Subject 7, a grieving woman recruited for your ability to reach further than any subject before you.
Discover the truth by piecing together recovered audio logs, memos, and recordings left behind in the astral plane, as you solve the mystery of what happened to you as you live through it.
Features
- NAVIGATE THE PROJECTIONS: Surreal dreamscapes that shift between peaceful and terrifying, all rendered through the cathode glow of Cold War-era monitors.
- UNCOVER WHAT HAPPENED: Piece together the truth through recovered audio logs, memos, and feed recordings left behind in the astral plane.
- CRT APPARATUS: Lo-fi CRT effects, VHS glitching, and screen-locked textures, all viewed through a retro monitor lens.

Project Looking Glass is set to release on August 10th for PC. You can wishlist it now on Steam.
