Hi Amaty! I really love A Mirror’s Curse and have been following the walkthrough to try for the full girl route. I ran into an issue I’m not sure is a bug or if I missed a flag:
On Day 6, I visited Aurora with ≥30 feminineLooks, related to Mia in Princess Diaries, and chose an upper body transformation. But then on Day 7, when I took the bubble bath, the breast transformation option didn’t appear.
I’ve tried a couple runs to make sure I did everything right (Hair, Nose, Forehead, Jeans, Earrings, etc. → Aurora → Mia choice → upper body transform), but the event still won’t trigger.
I did get the achievement for breasts in a past playthrough, so maybe that’s interfering somehow? Or could this be a version bug.
If needed, I can share my save file so you can check. Thanks so much for making this game—it’s been really fun so far!
Did the shopping trip with Jessica this time, very fun.
It seems like the pictures are entirely broken. The clothing doesn’t even show up anymore. Neither does the hair for that matter.
I had to crop the screenshot, because nothing shows up anymore.
I got the "Questioning" achievement for Day 16, and I was curious what the other outcomes are for that. More specifically, I'm wondering if "questioning" is as far along as you can be at that point, or if you can be further along the trans path by then.
Hmmm, while i'm not against the shoping split, i kinda feel it a shame that despite saving up enough, i couldn't get both plushies for the mother and sister. Even if it doesn't have any influence on relationship. Went for the mom, because she deserve it. Hope we get another opportunity down the line for the sis tho.
That asside cheers for the great work. This story feels so good no mater wich takes and opinions one might have i think.
I tried the game out of curiosity and didn't expect to finish it all in one sitting. I have a guilty pleasure for these kinds of games/stories and this one did a fantastic job at scratching that itch.
If you talk to aurora during your free time, if you have enough transformations, she will unlock your body transformations faster. I have to admit though, i don't really know how does she decide if it's enough or not, i always get as much as i can, and only sometimes it works.
transform hair, eyes, nose or forehead. Transforming lips and jawline doesn't count for as much. I usually focus on hair and eyes first which is enough for Aurora to unlock body transformations when you talk to her on the Saturday.
It's not the number of transformations that is the key point more how much you have transformed. Some transformations have a bigger effect (hair, eyes, nose and forehead) count for more than lips and jawline. I usually have hair and eyes maxed before talking to Aurora on the Saturday which is enough to unlock body transformation. This is covered in the walkthrough along with where and how to obtain the transformation points.
I'm impressed by the amount of choices in the game and looking foward to (as the meme from last jedi says it: "MORE, MORE, MOORRRE"). Just wonder how often more contentent is uploaded and when guess an estimation when you think that you have completed the game. Looking forward to playing the full release.
I must say I love your game and truly appreciate it.
I do have a couple questions about why no transformation for wearing the skirt for cheerleading?
And I often wonder about my choice to tell the truth to the coach. I mean I want to play at being female as much as possible but I also want to be honest and no option lets me do so. Perhaps an option where if your transgender value is high enough you could explain to them somewhat about wanting to be a girl or such? I get playing at being a girl out of fearful dishonesty about wanting to not be rejected or such but it just feels like a bridge too far for me in the game as I always try to be honest. If not I guess I will just have to choose between them and doing so miss out on getting a temporary girls name early and the boost to the transgender value from being girly.
Unfortunately, at this point in the story Ethan doesn't know she's trans. She still see's herself as a guy. There will be big stuff later on that tackles this relization for her, but she's not there yet.
i love everything about this game lol but oh my god the scene where you can give your mom a plushie?? thats somehow my fav part of this entire game, its so sweet its like we're looking after her inner child (as much as i wanna buy two plushies for both her and Lily, the scene with the mom is lowkey healing as hell for my mommy issues LMAO)
I really love the game so far, do you plan on adding transformation for the voice since that is a big thing for trans, and also because it was mentioned on Day 13 along with height (no need to spoil if you don't want to answer)
I would assume that would be the case as it's implied that control over voice and height will be obtained in the conversation with Aurora, Milo and Amber on day 13 when control over transforming the lower body is given. So far gametime is only a few weeks into a yearlong timeline, more transformations would have to be in the plans as even with slow paced transformations would run out of things to transform long before the year is up. Love the fact this game doesn't allow for blitzing through transformations.
Holy, my emotions have been thoroughly played with, 10/10, almost got emotional whiplash from the principal being a absolute dickwad,to the friends and family being there and supporting us
I already said I don't know. I don't know what you expect from me it's a specific problem that only affects a few people. I don't know the cause of it. There's nothing I can do.
You're saying the CGs cover the options, which would likely be a CSS issue. There have only been 2 changes to the game's CSS since 0.22 (released on 4/15/2025) where you said it worked.
The only two changes have been these minor changes that shouldn't affect CGs at all.
It also has worked fine on almost every other device. I don't know why that issue is happening. I've done all I can on my part to help out.
heads up: while it's good to see this game not deindexed, the group bullying mastercard and itch, collective shout has ties to christian fundementalists, and may very well expand their definitions of harmful content to include media about and made by queer people.
They already have expanded towards removing queer content. Dozens if not more gay games are gone already for example, deindexed today. Several of them were harmless Visual Novels, not containing any NSFW or Adult content.
They effectively put a shadow ban on all adult content by removing them from the search function. I would make a backup and switch sites. Just please tell us which you go to if you decide on this.
Omg like that update was freaking adorable and I know you have 3 more alts to write but I cannot wait for the next school day. There’s like three individuals in particular I want to see the reaction of, and one of them is a well deserved middle finger that I’ve wanted to do for like 2 months lol
Could I um 👀 request that an additional part be added in? I mean… if mom’s footing the bill for lingerie I’d totally give the puppy dog eyes for new undies as well. 😓 but then panties we’re a constant for me on every day I didn’t have gym by high school. Even then… well I did change in a stall so sometimes I forgot and wore the wrong undies lol but like having missed that particular shopping milestone with my own mother it would be nice if it was like…more, you know? I mean idk if you’ve got something special for that step planned then totally forget this, because I trust where you’re going in the story. I’m just eager to go all in 😅
As always, thank you for this game… it means a lot to myself and a lot of others. You’re amazing 💕
hi, idk if i am just stupid or if its a glitch but on the page after you choose your name i dont have any options to continue forward, i think the picture of samantha is blocking it or something
It kind of bother me that in the neutral ending when i resist the curse and stay a cis guy, it force me an ending when i'm in a heterosexual marriage. Considering the theme of the game about self discovery and the fact that i chose all the option to make clear my main character preferred men (i literally chose to come out to Luke and Samanta), it was extremely disappointing. Not all cis men are into women. I didn't expect heteronormativity at all. I would really have preferred to not end up with a woman. When Luke was so supportive of my sexuality (I love how he crush most stereotypes about footballers), I was so eager to try to confess as a guy. Needless to say, the neutral ending ruined the game because the hypocritical message it send: that a gay man should bow down to society expectation and marry a woman. The game was so good but this one ending ruined it.
You played a transgender transformation game, deliberately resisted everything, chose to play as a gay cisgender man, and are surprised that the narrative didn't conform to that? The neutral ending doesn't suggest that a gay man should suppress his identity, it reflects that your version of Ethan never had the opportunity to truly explore their identity or his sexuality. In the beginning of the game, the stats screen shows Ethan's attraction to men and women at an even 50/50, yet it labels him as "attracted to women" That's meant to show that Ethan hasn't really examined or thought about his sexual orientation yet. The main character never confronts these feelings because you played the game in a way it wasn't meant to be played in.
So my Ethan deliberately choosing to go with Luke in the tunnel of love and clearly feeling flustered, being excited when dancing with him and getting as close to him as possible, picturing a man in his mind instead of a woman during the masturbation scene, taking every opportunity to hang out with Luke and turning down the girls, COMING OUT to Sam and Luke about preferring men when they ask him his type, was all that just nothing? That litteraly what I went through (minus the tunnel of love) when I found out I was into guys. And i was told by my own grandma that it just a phase, I’ll find some nice girl in the future. That ending open up that old wound. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk. I really loved the character and Luke reminded me of an old crush I never got over.
Due to Mastercard's new policies on adult content, itch has decided to hide any games tagged as adult or erotic. Steam's doing it, too and so are a bunch of other retailers.
Yeah, this is really worrying and sets a bad precedent for the future. AMC isn't too heavy on NSFW, but LGBT content could be next on the chopping block.
awesome game, I love the story and the transformation system, if only it had art / images like for example in good girl gone bad, with this writing around it, it would be like the best experience, but I get it, it is not a visual novel, more like text adventure
Pretty sure the idea of the clubs is to hang out with one of the romance options. It's more an opportunity to boost the relationship more, so need to focus on which relationship to boost rather than popular.

I'm assuming that there isn't an option to join a club with Luke or Samantha because Ethan already has a solid relationship with them from the beginning.

Ive only gotten to 40% on the public release, not sure if you can get much higher
Hmmm, while i'm not against the shoping split, i kinda feel it a shame that despite saving up enough, i couldn't get both plushies for the mother and sister. Even if it doesn't have any influence on relationship. Went for the mom, because she deserve it. Hope we get another opportunity down the line for the sis tho.
That asside cheers for the great work. This story feels so good no mater wich takes and opinions one might have i think.
I agree. Choosing between the plush for the mom or the sister honestly feels like the hardest choice in the game.
I tried the game out of curiosity and didn't expect to finish it all in one sitting. I have a guilty pleasure for these kinds of games/stories and this one did a fantastic job at scratching that itch.

I tried again nothing, are there any transformations tied to specific routes? Because I am stumped

I hope you are doing well and continue with this.

As a younger sibling, I fell VERY called out by Lily because she's EXACTLY how I act
i love everything about this game lol but oh my god the scene where you can give your mom a plushie?? thats somehow my fav part of this entire game, its so sweet its like we're looking after her inner child (as much as i wanna buy two plushies for both her and Lily, the scene with the mom is lowkey healing as hell for my mommy issues LMAO)

I know, the game is sooo great and its literally my favorite, I can't wait for each and every update
Thanks for the update. The content with sis while shopping is really sweet.
one day I will play this game cuz my Chromebook cant play it because this game is good
You can play it on your phone? At least I can on my Galaxy Flip 5
when shopping there are only two types of bras instead of three, the basic one and the lace one, the different lavender one is missing
That's odd. I'm getting 4 choices show up, basic white, lavender, black, and the fancy choice.
Maybe its connected to pathways?
Holy, my emotions have been thoroughly played with, 10/10, almost got emotional whiplash from the principal being a absolute dickwad,to the friends and family being there and supporting us
I cant pick anything the opitions do not work if I try to save it show this
in time there will be a message saying
You'll probably have to clear your cookies and cached files. Your web browser's storage is full.
ya but I cant fix the opitions glitch that I cant pick anything can youy look at that I think there more people that I have the same problem
I already said I don't know. I don't know what you expect from me it's a specific problem that only affects a few people. I don't know the cause of it. There's nothing I can do.

ok ty
out of curiosity, what device are you using?
chrome
I honestly find this story so god damn adorable, i love it
So, I've encountered a strange glitch that makes my hair not show up. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Youre bald now, deal with it. :D
its so mirrover
but its so GOOD!!! Ethans mom is so awesome!

As always, thank you for this game… it means a lot to myself and a lot of others. You’re amazing 💕
I agree with this notion, would be nice to get the option of matching panties when mum buys you a bra.
hi, idk if i am just stupid or if its a glitch but on the page after you choose your name i dont have any options to continue forward, i think the picture of samantha is blocking it or something
it thge same thing as me
Thanks for the update.

without spoiling anything, jeez, 0.24 really hits home ngl
is it just me or have half of the games on itch just completely disappeared even when I searches for this game it didn’t show up
Due to Mastercard's new policies on adult content, itch has decided to hide any games tagged as adult or erotic.
Steam's doing it, too and so are a bunch of other retailers.
If you'd like to prevent this from going on, here's an ACLU petition to help: https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy
but there is literally a setting for that type of content…
Its out of itch's hands, sadly. This is a payment processor issue and the 20-odd people at itch can't fight the demands of Mastercard and Visa alone.
I hope things improve, thankfully there's a bill in the works that might just be able to kick this all in the head.
Until then, try and support your favorite nsfw creative any way you can. Money's gonna be tight the next little while.
Yeah, this is really worrying and sets a bad precedent for the future. AMC isn't too heavy on NSFW, but LGBT content could be next on the chopping block.
Any support is very much appreciated.
how is it even legal to ban them from showing games?
This game feels weird to play, in a good way, like there feels like there's something real in it?
I can't pick it first choose in the game
who has an Chromebook and that has a same bug pls tell me how to fix is it was working at 0.22 but now it dose not work for the new updates
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE! I WANT JORDAN SO BAD!!!!😍
I adore this game.
awesome game, I love the story and the transformation system, if only it had art / images like for example in good girl gone bad, with this writing around it, it would be like the best experience, but I get it, it is not a visual novel, more like text adventure
can u make delete data so I can fresh every thing
when will the next free update be? (no rush)
The free Itch updates seem to always be 2 updates behind the Patreon current version, the next update is set to release by the 25th
ok thanks
hey, it got released
definitely one of the best itch games I’ve played I can’t wait for the next update
Made an account just to comment on this game.. its amazing, i love the way choices affect things and how characters and their problems feel..real?
I was wondering if you had stats on how many people chose each different club, and which is most popular?
Pretty sure the idea of the clubs is to hang out with one of the romance options. It's more an opportunity to boost the relationship more, so need to focus on which relationship to boost rather than popular.
