Pocket Mirror ~ GoldenerTraum Critic Reviews

Pocket Mirror: GoldenerTraum is a unique concept that resembles classic anime such as Rozen Maiden and Madoka Magica and literary pieces like Alice in Wonderland. However, the narrative doesn’t ever seem fully realized, leaving a predictable and almost confusing experience. Regardless, it’s one that lasts with you with its gorgeous setpiece, horror elements, and intriguing cast.

Pocket Mirror: GoldenerTraum is a beautiful blast to the past that hearkens back to the glory days of the indie RPG Maker scene. What makes it shine is in its cast of colorful characters and its heartwarming message. Though I commented that its vagueness is detrimental to emotionally connecting with the story, it does linger with you as you ponder upon its meaning. Video games are art, and Pocket Mirror: GoldenerTraum is one of those games that can prove it.
