How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
There are multiple mirrors throughout the game as they serve a travel function as well as give the player the ability to save. The entire game also sort of takes place within a mirror. The smoke is the main item used in the game and is essential for progression as well as is key to get the true ending.

I like creepy atmosphere and effort put in narrative text, but i suppose its too long for jam-type games

nice! I didn't get all the way through it because I kept getting 'game overs' from the eyes in the forest and I was getting a little annoyed at that lol. Overall seems like an interesting creepy/eerie setting and story. cool!

Thanks for playing the game! If you wanna give it another shot, trying talking to those eyes after using the smoke from the first mirror room by activating it in the items menu. There is a guy in the first mirror room who hints at that too :).
