Votre ami Ozivior, élève de l'académie de magie et toujours partant pour s'amuser, vous a envoyé une invitation pour venir jouer à un jeu. Mais en fait de jeu, c'est plutôt une épreuve qu'il avait préparée pour vous.
En effet, il vous a fait entrer dans sa chambre puis a verrouillé la porte en vous mettant au défi de trouver sa « vraie » chambre, quoi que cela puisse vouloir dire.
« Quand tu auras trouvé la bonne, brise le miroir. »
Entrant - Confiture de Parser
Le miroir d’Ozivior is a relatively short fantasy escape room, in which you play as the friend of Ozivior, a student at a magical academy. Locking you in his room, he challenges you to solve his riddle: find his actual room and break the mirror.
The game is pretty simple, that even beginner parser players could manage to complete. It was tightly constructed, with just enough descriptions in responses to get the gist of the puzzle and how to solve it, as well as warnings of any change.
Hints are also available, starting from general to nudge you the right way, to more concrete/obvious ones. There is also a Win the game command to get to the end quicker.
And the vocabulary required is limited: examine, take/drop, enter/open.
You can’t even fail at the game. As it lets you play on and “automatically undo”'s for you if you break the mirror in the wrong room. No need for saves, or restarts, or undos, really. It’s very beginner friendly.
The game left me frustrated in all the good ways - but that’s more because I blame myself for not paying attention properly (or because I tried to brute-force the game to let me play the way I wanted to, even if it went against the puzzle itself).
The mechanic to go from room to room was pretty cool, and pretty magical. The way the rooms are essentially the same but differ depending on what you (Spoiler - click to show)choose to carry with you really adds layers to the setting. You learn more about your friend and his room, bit by bit. It is a matter of whether you keep track of the details (which I failed at too many times, it was embarrassing for me).
All in all, the experience is very smooth and charming (pun), and it made for a fun escape puzzle.
