* OminousMusicBoxTune: The game's entire soundtrack consists of variations of the same tune, which sounds rather frantic and creepy. You can listen to it by turning on Leah's music box, but at some key moments it play its own whether you opened the music box or not.

''Videogame/TheMirrorLied'' is a game created by Kan Gao (who also was behind ''{{Quintessence}}'' and ''Videogame/ToTheMoon'') and released by Freebird Games. In ''The Mirror Lied'', you play as a young girl named Leah. There is no one in her home besides her, no way to leave, and very little to do, but she does keep getting phone calls from "birdy"...

* NothingIsScarier: While the creator of the game says on its page that it is not a horror game and nothing will jump out at you, the game still has a very unsettling atmosphere, partly because you know very little about what's going on.
