Kagami 2014 is a chilling journey through the experiences of a Japanese school girl who will risk everything to find her friend. It all starts with a rumor going around the school about how if you take two mirrors and face them towards each other at Midnight, it will reveal the face of your future husband.
You, of course, try it out for yourself only to be disappointed when nothing happens. Thinking of how stupid it was for a 15 year old to fall for a stupid gag, you fall asleep only to be awoken by your panicked mother. Your best friend, Kasumi, has gone missing... What happens next will take you on a whirlwind through the looking glass and into the spirit world.
The world in the mirror reminded me a lot of the movie by Hayao Miyazaki, Spirited Away with the style of those old mystery games like "The Longest Journey". You'll encounter everything from foxes in kimonos to faceless men. It wasn't hard to see that a lot of work went into the makings of this Second Life mini-game. The game features a custom hud, unique and creative world built from scratch and even some movie like scenes where you see the story from Kasumi's friend's point of view.
This is a haunting tale that I won't soon forget. If you're planning on seeing it for yourself, then you better do it fast - The event only lasts until the 31st of August.
