About the Game

The year is 2000.
You’ve broken into the long-abandoned EQUO Research Facility, mysteriously shut down in 1985. Beneath the ruins, hidden in the underwing, you find The Mirage — an experimental time machine designed to simulate the world as it was. A 'Save File' of the world.

The Mirage recreates places, not people. It builds a version of the past — empty, silent, frozen in time.
Until you enter it.

Your presence confuses the system. It starts trying to rebuild life… but it gets it wrong.
Shadows begin to appear. They follow you. They change. They become something else.

Explore a fractured facility through decades of decay.
Travel between timelines. Recover items. Solve puzzles. Uncover what EQUO was hiding — and what the Mirage is becoming.
As you dig deeper, the machine begins to generate new spaces… spaces that were never real.
And the things inside those spaces are starting to remember you.

Features:

  • A single-player sci-fi horror story tied to the YouTube series

  • Travel through simulated timelines and gather tools from the past

  • Shadow-like entities that evolve the longer you stay

  • Hidden levels created by the Mirage’s growing mind

  • Multiple endings based on how far you're willing to go
