Mira Reviews

Not much in the form of actual gameplay. Just some very simple puzzles. If you like visual novels might want to give it a try. Beautiful hand painted art and animations that remind me of picture books. I enjoyed discovering all the lore.

For a one-time experience, this was a delightful one. Not unlike any point-and-click adventure game or visual novel, I have ever played due to the way it presents itself with glorious hand-painted backgrounds and character art that are beautifully animated and have a unique layout with the ways the character have the side of their face turn away in front of you. Despite some translation issues, the story was enjoyable and very interesting to understand with many imaginative lore building and exploration. The music is mysterious and hopeful. The point-and-click aspect is very light, and puzzles are fairly easy (except for the last 2). I did find sometimes the UI doesn't respond when I want to click on things or make dialogue decisions, but if I don't hover over it after a while, it fixes itself out. If you like what you see from the images and trailers, you shouldn't hibernate and just buy Mira, but set your expectations low as this is a short game, and it kind of ended with some questions left unanswered that would have hoped there would have to be a sequence by now. A suggestion I would make if you ended up playing this unusual hidden game, appreciate it for what it is and the creativity that's gone into making it.
