What you see in this world and its reflection are not the same.
The Mirror Pool is a kitsune tile-swap puzzle game with dual-world mechanics — the solution that works in this world may not be the one the reflection shows you.
A browser-based puzzle game built on Japanese folklore. Players swap tiles to solve puzzles that exist simultaneously in two states — the visible world and its mirror reflection — which don't always match. A nine-tails kitsune progression system tracks your advancement, and a favor/curse mechanic rewards or complicates play based on how you treat the spirit world.
Seven environmental themes shift the visual tone as you progress deeper into the puzzle set.
- Dual-world tile mechanics — visible world and mirror reflection interact independently
- Nine-tails kitsune progression — advancement tied to mastery
- Favor / Curse system — your choices have spiritual consequences
- Seven environmental themes — distinct visual palettes across the puzzle set
- Single-file HTML — no install, no account, no data collection
