Q: When I start new game, I got a black screen. What can I do?
A: In the beginning of a new game, A story video will be played. Maybe the video is loaded slowly, please wait patiently for the video to finish loading, then you can start the game!

Q：My controller is not working correctly. Some of the buttons are working but some are not.
A：Check if you enabled Steam controller settings. Click the top-left Steam button - Settings - Controller - GENERAL CONTROLLER SETTINGS, and try to disable everything. Then check if your controller is working now.

Q：I encountered an error in the game that caused serious problems with the save data, how do I fix it?
A：The game backup the save data each time you save. You can find 3 old version of your save data in: C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\MapleDorm\GlimmerInMirror. Rename the file name from XXX.save.bak to XXX.save. Then you can use the old save data. It is important to note that the save data name start from index zero. The first save slot data is named Save_V2_0.save, and the second slot data is named Save_V2_1.save.

Q: I tried to custom Keys for controllers in the game settings, but couldn't do it?
A: The keys customization function only works for keyboards now. In the future we will support the customization of the controller keys. If you want to customize the controllers' keys now, we recommend you use the controller customization in the Steam settings.

Q：After I launch the game. I can only see a background picture without menu buttons. I can't start new game.
A：May be your game files are corrupted. You can try to remove everything in the game data folder (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\MapleDorm\GlimmerInMirror) and then uninstall the game and reinstall it. If the problem is still not solved, please send the files in the game data folder (C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\MapleDorm\GlimmerInMirror) to [email protected]. It will help us solve the problem for you. Thank you!

At present, there is a very low probability that the battle challenge in Dark Remains can not be completed. If you encounter it, you can try to exit the game and challenge again. We are working hard to investigate and will fix it as soon as possible!

Hello everyone, it’s National day in China, wish you all have a wonderful holiday! For those who cannot enjoy the holiday, we wish you every success and keep healthy too!

We have been in closed development recently. Considering that the development diary has not been updated for a long time, everyone is also very concerned about the progress of "Glimmer in Mirror". I would like to take this opportunity to update the development progress and sharing the estimated launch time with you.

At present, the level design of the EA version of "Glimmer in Mirror" has been basically completed, and the production of the plot performance and the final optimization and polishing are in progress.

Based on a lot of feedback and suggestions you have given before, we have compiled a long list of optimizations and plan to finalize and refine all aspects of the game, including the protagonist's control experience (turning, jumping, attacking, etc.), Game guidance (route, interactions with the environment, etc.), the UI of the game and the interactive experience, etc.

As a one-person full-time and two-part-time team, we have been developing for more than 4 years. In order to present a work that we are satisfied with to everyone, we will patiently and carefully carry out the final optimization and polishing to ensure the quality of the game. Thank you for your support and patience!

After the optimization is completed, in order to ensure the stability of the game, we will also conduct QA tests to find potential bugs before going online as much as possible. If all goes well with optimization and testing, the game is expected to launch in November!

Before the launch, there will also be one last development diary to share with you, telling our mental journey during this period. "Glimmer in Mirror" would not have been born without you.

In 2022, we’ll see the world in the mirror, see you soon!

"Glimmer in Mirror" × Bilibili crowdfunding has been a complete success, thank you very much for your support! We are working hard to develop the final content of the game, and hope to see you soon!

The Steam Next Fest is underway. Do you notice that “Glimmer in Mirror” has released a new PV, you can check it in the store page if you haven’t seen it. Welcome to play our Demo, don’t forget to add to your wishlist~^^
