MIRR.ORG

MIRR.ORG is a personal videogame IP made as a final project at ESCOLA JOSO.

In the early 2000s, a nerdy college student goes on a search for her popular best friend, who disappeared leaving no trace.  With the help of a mysterious website, she must explore the darkness that shrouds the city, and face off against the living urban legends that thrive within...  hopefully saving her friend.

Kat

Kat is our player character and protagonist of the story, an aloof college student who loves rock, mysteries and the internet.  She is on a search for Bonnie after her sudden vanishing.

Bonnie

Bonnie is Kat's best friend. An upbeat, popular photography student that loves running around in her heelys. She hid a dark secret, as she was the one keeping the living urban legends in the city at bay, but with her sudden disappearance, they freely roam the town at night.

Kat's Room

This will be our research hub in the game, investigating through the internet to find Bonnie's whereabouts, and following the traces with our cork billboard.

We will follow Bonnie's trail to a website: MIRR.ORG. By entering a password, a mysterious IA offers Kat help finding her friend. The collectibles in the game will consist in Bonnie's polaroid pictures that are scattered through town, and Kat's sketches and notes.

Mirrors

MIRA informs Kat of Mirrors, supernatural portals that lead into an urban legend's dimension... and where Bonnie is trapped. 

The three mirrors that Kat will enter are the Karaoke Machine, the Broken Tank and the Bunny Plush, each one residing in a part of the city, hiding in the dark.

Mystery #1: Underground Market

A market built in the ruins of the old subway station. The cameras have picked weird shadows and laughter coming from the tunnels when everything is closed, and CDs are disappearing from the stores. Here, Kat will find the Karaoke Machine, her first Mirror.

The Idol's World

The habitant of this dimension is an idol that jumped in front of the subway when she couldn't take the pressure anymore. You can hear the faint tapping of her dancing in the dark corners of this crashed studio.

This mannequin holds the Idol's HEART, a VHS tape of her suicide recorded on top of her TV spots. This is the core of the urban legend. Kat has to take it and scape from this world, banishing the urban legend with it, and she will repeat this process with each urban legend.

The subway crashes onto the mannequin shortly after, opening her doors and revealing the true Idol, who will pursue and search for Kat through the studio with her cameras until she scapes.

Mystery #2 : Red Light District

The second mystery takes Kat to the Red light district, a previously cultural street where the derelict aquarium remains forgotten. She will enter through the Broken Tank to the urban legend's dimension.

The siren, a woman of the night who was assassinated cruelly, will try to lure Kat into the depths of the Aquarium. Kat will have to snatch her HEART, an old CD with a original sad song, angering the siren while trying to scape.

Mystery #3: Hospital

Kat's last stop, the Children's Hospital that has been evacuated because of the mysterious sudden deaths of two workers. The bodies were never found, but their mangled heads were found in the children's playroom, with a trail of blood to the Bunny Plush... which Kat now has to enter.

The mascots residing this mirror control the corpses of the dead hospital workers with yarn, in hopes of turning more life-like. They're obsessed with cute, pink stuff, and so they keep Bonnie in the center of their world, acting as the HEART of the urban legend. Kat will then save her, ending her adventure.
