Mirror (video game)

Mirror is a (presently in "Early Access") video game / visual novel made by SakuraGame. The game's plot is a collection of short narratives taking place in different locations spanning different time periods and even universes it seems. The game mixes similar mechanics to HuniePop, except instead of dating girls, you're battling them.


 * Ascended Fan There's official DLC that was released from the game that consists of pictures of women cosplaying the female characters in the game. Not to mention, the developers have actually taken a few suggestions for the game and actually implemented them.
 * Asshole Victim One of the stories involves a.
 * It actually gets even better: . Considering this was all set up in manner that backfired in every meaningful way, it's essentially an Ironic Hell for the villain.
 * Awesome but Impractical Some of the girls' attire is supposed to be combat-ready armor, but realistically leaves a little too much exposed to actually protect them from real threats. Sure makes 'em looks hot though.
 * Beast Folk One of the girls comes from a tribe of orcs of the "rodentia" variety.
 * Character Archetype The girls in this story each cover specific examples of these. Nun, priestess, thief, jungle girl, spirit, etc.
 * Coitus Ensues The common formula for each story is.
 * Downer Ending Each story has at least 1 "Good" and 1 "Bad" ending to them. Some of these endings can come off as this whether they're the "Good" or the "Bad" ones.
 * Explicit Content Even without the uncensored patch installed, this game is definitely NOT for minors..
 * Fandom Nod The developers have been quite generous toward their fanbase, and have even taken some of their suggestions and added them to the game itself in some of the updates.
 * Fetish Fuel Let's see... There's a dark elf-thief, a dragon-girl maid, a skimpy samurai armor girl, a miko priestess, a nun, a cleopatra-esque maiden, a jungle girl orc, and a Chinese spirit girl. What about ?
 * Fixed Encounters The way each story works is that there's plot, then a puzzle fight, plot, puzzle, plot, puzzle, "plot", extra puzzle, and then either the "good" or "bad" ending for each girls' story arc.
 * Good and Evil For Your Convenience The characters you "play as" in the stories aren't always good or always evil, but it's kind of obvious they all have one common end goal in mind regarding the girls they meet.
 * Hilarious in Flashback Some of the endings achieve this, but it depends on the order in which you unlocked them.
 * Idiot Ball Some of the characters in the different stories like to toss it around.
 * Jerkass Ball The stories sometimes paint the girls as a Jerkass or the player's character as one OR sometimes they have other characters who fill the roll, but rest assured there's one in nearly all the stories in some way.
 * Ki Attacks The Puzzle mode has "magic spell" gems which sometimes invoke this kind of a feel.
 * Love Across Battlelines Seeing as you have to fight against the girls before you can get them to like you, it counts as this for each route pretty much.
 * Moral Event Horizon Considering how you play as the villain in some of the routes, YOU actually risk crossing this line based on your choices.
 * No Antagonist Not all of the stories have straight-up antagonists. At least beyond the girls you have to battle, but even then, they aren't all necessarily good or evil either.
 * Over 9000 Yeah, they use this joke.
 * Open and Shut Case Some of the stories are pretty straight forward from start to finish.
 * Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner Happens sometimes when you're about to enter a battle.
 * Quick Draw Decision You have 40 - 55 turns to defeat your opponent by depleting all their health using the puzzle system. Early on it may seem like a lot, but for the later levels... not so much.
 * Relationship Upgrade Considering how you have to fight each girl 3-4 times before unlocking the endings, most of the good endings wind up having this happen.
 * Right for the Wrong Reasons Some of the stories are pretty much nukige shorts, others have characters that are "in the right" based squarely on technicalities which they use to justify their actions.
 * Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers Happens in.
 * Tiny Guy, Huge Girl Considering that in one of the stories, ...
 * Under Siege The Bad Ending for.
 * Villain Ball The player's character sometimes, the various women sometimes, select random other characters in the stories.
 * What an Idiot! The.
 * Wimpification Happens to a few of the girls, but then, you ARE battling them to defeat them 4 times.
 * X Marks the Spot One of the combat gems is an X formed by 2 small swords.
 * Your Answer to Everything The puzzle combat is your only option for getting the girls to calm down at times, no matter how nice or mean you are to them.
 * Zig Zag Flag Shag Yeah, some of the girls experience their own Sex Face Turn. For better or worse depending on the outcome.
