This creates a mirrored structure that emphasizes contrast and reflects the duality of everything. This is revealed in the project: personalities, places, events… Everything has a mirror reflection.

The story follows the protagonist Viktor and his old, long-forgotten acquaintance Alexandra, whose fates are intertwined. The heroes wake up in unfamiliar surroundings and become prisoners of both the room and the situation. Their task is to find a way out by overcoming difficulties, puzzles, and… a parallel world, which is a distortion of reality. To find the culprit behind the incident and unravel the mystery of this entity.
