**Viral Snippet:**
**"BREAKING: Glitch in 'Mina the Hollow' Leads to Terrifying 'Mirror Self' – Players Are Seeing Their Own Reflections Behaving Strangely!"**
**Status:** FAKE (Hoax / ARG)
Rumors are spreading like wildfire across TikTok and Reddit that a hidden "Mirror Self" Easter egg in the indie horror game *Mina the Hollow* causes the in-game reflection to mimic players' real-life movements – or, creepier still, move independently. Clips supposedly showing the mirror character blinking when the player doesn't, or smiling through a frozen screen, have racked up millions of views.
**The Truth:** There is no such mechanic. The game’s developer, Hollow Star Games, has officially debunked the trend, stating that the viral clips are either stitched with after-effects (cropped face filters and reversed footage) or part of an unsanctioned ARG (Alternate Reality Game) created by fans. No updates have added reflection AI. The original "glitch" video was traced back to a modded replay of *PT* using *Mina* assets. Check your horror feeds: This one's a clever hoax.
