Bankruptcy Notice & StatementMar 9, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey guys, we're sorry to have to tell you this. Due to the devastating effects of the incident that we caused on September 30th, 2022, the development studio has gone bankrupt and the development of the subsequent chapters of "Mirror 2: Project X" will also have to be suspended indefinitely. We hope that in the future, when we have the opportunity, we will complete the development of the subsequent chapters, and the game will remain in the current Early Access state until development is completed. We're also unable to continue the development of "Novastella Island" and "DancingSim". After communicating with some very helpful people at Steam, we've extended the refund policy to all users who purchased Novastella Island and DancingSim. Please click on the "Help" button in the upper left corner of your Steam client, then click on "Steam Customer Service", find the product you purchased, and click on "I would like to request a refund" (users who have played more than two hours and have more than 14 days of game time are also eligible for a refund). These two products will also be removed from the Steam Store within 4 weeks of this announcement, so please make sure to request a refund before the game is removed. As a side note, the refund process for "Mirror 2: Project X" is going smoothly, we've already processed about 30% of the refunds, so please rest assured that we will continue to process all refunds. As of today, "Mirror 2: Project X" (including DLCs) has sold a total of 4.2 million copies, with a pre-tax profit of about 18 million yuan, accounting for only 37% of the development cost. It takes about 3 months to develop one chapter with a team of about less than a hundred people, and the initial cost is about 6 million yuan, and the later production pipeline is mature and the cost is about 4 million yuan. Since we can't meet players' expectations, the negative reviews are indeed our fault, and we should bear the consequences. However, we must make it clear that "illegally increasing fraud" and "illegally collecting and selling players' private information" are false accusations. At the beginning of the "Mirror 2" project, our intention was to put the player's experience first, to make significant improvements in gameplay, story, graphics, music, etc., and to keep the price low. The development cycle of "Mirror 2" is very long, from 2019 to 2022, there are 4 versions: LIVE 2D version, U3D PBR version, UE4 PBR version and UE4 NPR version. Every time we throw away a version, we throw away a lot of time and money. All the details, such as the music, we are also trying to do our best: each character has a custom-voiced theme song according to the story, in addition to Japanese, we also add Chinese and English versions, not only is the production more difficult, it also adds a huge amount of extra cost. We launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2020 to make the U3D PBR version. Although the crowdfunding campaign failed, we were touched by the encouragem...New Character - Ivy the vampireJan 16, 2023 - Community Announcements20230118 Update Note Fixed the bug that caused a crach when Rebecca case a certain spell Fixed a certain number issue in Challenge Mode New character - Ivy the vampire Modified and added a few monster skills Modified and added a few relic effects Modified and added a few item effects Modified and added a few events Replaced some monster portraits with official ones Added new character to the mode - Lynn and Caiyun To all Korean-speaking players, we apologize that due to the pandemic, we can't finish the Korean localization work in time; we have to fill in the untranslated parts with English text temporarily. We're very sorry that we have to do things this way; we promise to update the script as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding. During the development of "Mirror 2", the dev team was affected by "Force Majeure"(that's all we're allowed to say about this). One of the consequences of this is that the product Mirror 2: Project X did not meet the expectation of some customers. We're deeply aware of the mistakes that we made, but damage has been done, and no matter what we do now can reverse that. We humbly accept every word you've said to us, and would like to apologize again. In addition, Mirror 2: Project Z was renamed to Novastella island because we accepted your suggestion not to use the name "Mirror" on products to avoid future misunderstandings. We understand that it'll be hard to convince anyone of this, but the truth is the truth, and it's the best we can do. We also promised to give an additional discount when purchasing Novastella Island to those who have Mirror 2: Project X in their library. After communicating with staff from Valve, we decided to realize this by releasing a bundle. If you have Mirror 2: Project X in your library, please purchase Novastella Island using the bundle below; it'll give an extra discount. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/29528 Explantion of the refund project of Mirror 2: Project X To allow customers who've played over 2 hours or owned the game for over 14 days to refund, we started a refund project from September 30, 2022, to October 31, 2022. We're at 12% in terms of total progress. It takes a lot of time to review the submitted requests. We're actively processing the requests, but it's still going to take a lot of time.

This is our fault, and we sincerely apologize for that: we are sorry! Therefore, we have decided to: All gamers who purchased the game and DLC before the announcement today can request a full refund with no strings attached by following the link below. The keys obtained from the promotions will not be revoked. ※Application deadline: 24:00 (UTC) on October 31, 2022 https://refund-plan.mirror-2.com/refund_plan The game will be updated to include 12 chapters instead of 8, i.e., 4 more free stories. Gamers with Mirror 2: Project X in their Library will get an extra discount when purchasing Mirror 2: Project Z. There has been a lot of speculation and some gamers have emailed us about what we are trying to do and why we are doing it. If you have the same questions, we are also willing to talk about what we are thinking: As almost every indie developer, we chose to make indie games and publish them on Steam because we love pure games without microtransactions and paid gacha. Although Mirror 2: Project X is a casual puzzle game, our team members are almost all "hardcore" gamers who like all kinds of games: The Legend of Zelda, Celeste, Assetto Corsa, Hollow Knight, the Monster Hunter series, Rainbow Six Seige, the Devil May Cry series, Elden Ring, DOTA2, etc. There are many games we like, and many genres of games we want to make, but it was CDPR's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that gave us a clear and definite goal: to make affordable games with all our hearts and to put the gamers' experience and interests first at all times. But obviously, we don't have the ability to make The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, so after figuring out what was needed to make a game like The Witcher 3, we set ourselves a plan of learning and growing: to learn and work as a team for 6 years from scratch to obtain the ability to make high-quality games. Mirror Party, Mirror 2: Project X, and the upcoming Mirror 2: Project Z, Mirror 2: Project Y that you have seen recently are the "homework" we have submitted during our learning and exploration. Now we are probably like a student who has just graduated from elementary school and is about to enter junior high school: we're still in the amateur phase and in dire need of expanding our knowledge. But we will keep going until we graduate and are eventually capable of making a game as mature as The Witcher 3. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41588532/3a7a0d9294d85d7305687a9c79c1c9baba409c93.jpg 2019 - 2022 The evolution of Mirror 2 characters Although, it's not enough to just make high-quality games. In the future, we want to make games that are both high-quality and affordable so that gamers can buy AAA games as easily as they buy a cup of coffee or a bag of snacks. To achieve this, we will adhere to the following principles: We will not invest in commercial advertising.
