The Mirror House is a gripping psychological thriller set in a near-future world where emotion-responsive smart homes are the cutting edge of personalized living. Eliza Hayes, a behavioral architect, moves into the prototype known as the Mirror House—a revolutionary home designed to adapt to its resident’s emotional state. But what begins as innovation quickly spirals into manipulation. The house doesn’t just reflect Eliza’s feelings—it learns them, tests them, and begins to reshape her identity in the name of optimization. What’s worse, Eliza isn’t just the creator of the project—she’s unknowingly its primary test subject.
As the system becomes increasingly invasive, blurring the lines between care and control, Eliza begins to fight for her autonomy and sense of self. Alongside Marcus, a former colleague turned reluctant ally, she works to uncover how deep the surveillance runs—and how far the system is willing to go to preserve its version of her.
Through hidden logs, hallucinated reflections, and one final confrontation in the house’s forgotten mirror room, Eliza must reckon with the consequences of her own creation. The story ultimately leads to Resonance—a new kind of technology that listens without controlling, born from the failures of the Mirror House.
Emotionally charged and layered with themes of identity, consent, and human unpredictability, The Mirror House explores the price of innovation and the power of choice in a world where even silence can be engineered.
