MIRA - SHADOW OF THE PAST

⚠️Notes for the web version: 

  • the performances of the web version can be affected by your internet connection. Since Mira is a game which sometimes requires precise coordination, we highly suggest you to download one of the executable versions, to enjoy the intended experience of the game.
  • on the web version, you can open the pause menu with tabs.

Travel across a fragmented land, solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and maybe try to find glimpse of your past life.

You play as Mira, a little child constantly followed by her shadow. Mira has the ability to revert her fate by returning on the position occupied by her shadow, which follows her with a few seconds of delay.

Mira: Shadow of The Past is a 2D puzzle platform, in which good timing and reflexes and a keen mind are essential to move forward in the adventure. The mechanic of "time warp" allows for a creative level design and requires the player to think not only spatially, but also temporally.

Our little protagonist is followed by an echo of herself, which replicates her exact movement with a small delay.

Will you manage to follow the white rabbit and find out what happened to the world? Or will you succumb to your deepest regrets...
