THE STORY
Observe your surroundings. Squint through the static. Focus on small, seemingly mundane details. Somewhere, there is a path forward. Just don't look too long at those shapes at the edge of your vision. They will jump at you, given the chance.
Did you do something bad? Are you being punished? Is there a way to atone, or is this the end of the line already? And the peg dolls from your childhood bedroom... why can't they just leave you alone?
THE GAMEPLAY
THE GLUED melds the storytelling of visual novels with the interactive elements of first-person point-and-click games. Some light puzzle-solving is mixed with exploration as you investigate your surroundings to find clues on how to progress.
THE ATMOSPHERE
The story unfolds in an oppressive, twisted setting where the sky is rarely visible, and a Backrooms aesthetic permeates the bleak interiors.
The relentless onslaught of the game's stylized visuals amplifies the pressure and stress you feel as you try to make sense of your situation.
