Mirror horror games

In these games a mirror is never just glass on a wall. Some let you step through into a dark copy of the place you were in. Others show a reflection that is wrong, or something standing where you should be. You break them, rebuild them from shards and carry them, and the dread comes from never being sure what looks back.
