In the monotonous town of Draboria, where every day bleeds into the next, Mickie’s life unravels after discovering a cursed mirror in his attic. The artifact, linked to a forgotten gender-shifting deity, begins transforming him into a woman—a change demanded by everyone around him, from his boss to his neighbors, as if under a collective trance. As Mickie resists or embraces the transformation, the town itself morphs: streets rearrange, NPCs swap roles, and cryptic symbols appear, hinting at a ritual to resurrect the deity. With the help of Luna, a rogue historian who claims to be immune to the curse, Mickie must navigate a reality where acceptance and defiance rewrite the rules of existence. Will he dismantle the deity’s influence, or surrender to become its avatar in a world obsessed with conformity?
Gameplay
1. Shifted Reality Puzzles – Manipulate environmental changes caused by Mickie’s transformation: use his growing feminine traits to bypass gender-locked areas, or revert temporarily to solve male-coded challenges, risking backlash from the brainwashed townsfolk.
2. Collective Hypnosis – Engage in dialogue minigames where NPCs demand Mickie’s compliance. Resist too forcefully, and they turn hostile; comply, and the curse accelerates, altering story branches.
3. Mirror Realm – Enter a twisted version of Draboria through reflective surfaces, where time flows backward and puzzles require "undoing" the deity’s influence. But each visit erodes Mickie’s original identity.
Key Features
1. Dynamic Gender Mechanics – Mickie’s appearance and abilities evolve based on player choices: long hair grants agility for platforming, while a deeper voice intimidates foes. Mix traits for hybrid advantages.
2. The Echoes System – Townsfolk who resist the curse form a secret network (The Echoes), offering side quests that destabilize the deity’s hold. Betray them to gain favor with the deity’s cult.
3. Sanity vs. Conformity – A dual meter tracks Mickie’s mental state and societal acceptance. High sanity reveals hidden truths but isolates allies; high conformity unlocks shortcuts but locks tragic endings.
Pro Tips
1. The 3 AM Window – Interact with mirrors between 3-4 AM in-game to access rare Mirror Realm events, revealing lore-critical visions.
2. Trait Juggling – Balance feminine/masculine traits at 50% each during key dialogues to trigger neutral outcomes, avoiding extreme story forks.
3. Echoes Barter – Trade cursed items with The Echoes for "Memory Shards" that temporarily revert Mickie’s form, crucial for solving pre-transformation puzzles.
