The story aspect of the game emphasizes player creativity, allowing users to craft their own narratives and characters, particularly in a customizable environment. While the freedom to create unique storylines and chapters is praised, some users find the core features and battle scenes lacking depth and excitement. Overall, the game offers a basic framework for storytelling but may not satisfy those seeking a more engaging narrative experience.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“You have the freedom to create your own story in the world of Mirror!”
“It is also possible to create several different chapters that open after certain answers in order to divide the plot not only in the episode (for example, to make a choice between two girls).”
“It's pretty much just access to the workshop and the story editor, which is pretty bare bones at the moment.”
“If you want to edit the mirror game or make your own storyline, then you should get it.”
“You can make your own waifu story or else (like fanfiction and Wattpad).”
