About The Glow

“The Glow” is a single player, survival game with roguelike elements. Take control over one of the six characters, explore semi-randomly generated world and try to survive without losing your sanity in the process!

Story:
"What happened to this city? Don’t take me wrong, it's never been a paradise but usually you could leave home without fear that someone will stab you right between the ribs. But not anymore. Do they all just forget to take the pills? No, that’s impossible. Maybe they refuse to take them? That’s even less likely. No matter what happened, sooner or later I will have to leave my apartment. Probably sooner, because I'm also running out of pills… What was that? Someone knocking? Where did I put those keys…"

Main features:
• Explore semi-randomly generated world!
• Choose different objectives for each playthrough!
• Complete objectives to unlock new characters!
• Scavenge for resources.
• Interact with other people in any way you want:
- Shoot them on sight? Go nuts.
- Talk to them and try to cooperate? Sure, but remember they don’t have to be friendly.
- Stay hidden and try to avoid them? Good idea! Who needs other people anyway?
• Sanity is for the weak! If you stop taking pills, you will lose sanity and world around will become… more interesting.
• Discover dark secrets behind all this madness!

Have fun and remember: take your pills every day!

Sent this email to Steam Support for them to ignore: "Look, I'm not expecting you to refund me - I know it's way past due. But this game is busted and leaving it up on the storefront is disingenuous. The game files are either so broken or simply have not been created so that you cannot unlock more than 2 levels. Looking into the file, it looks like it's broken but the dev doesn't seem to care enough to pull the game, fix it or answer their emails. Please consider removing it so other people don't get duped."

I really like a lot of this type games, but the various bugs in this game completely ruin the gameplay and fun. Characters that are not unlocked, transitions between maps stop working to the point where you have to start the game over again.

This game is severely broken, both in mechanics and attempted story. Save your money, save your time, avoid this

Nothing gets unlocked when you unlock it. Shame, as the game has some interesting potential.

So much promise, so fun at first, until you beat it a few times and realize none of the unlocks work; starting character is all you get. I'm not 100% hating the game, and will change my downvote if this improves, but, judging by the forums I should have checked before buying, it's the same for everyone, and has been for some time. Not really a review if I just mention that one, huge, gaming, glaring flaw, so I will say what I liked. It's a semirandom dark rpg where the map remains the same ,as far as I can tell, but the NPCs and items are different run to run. Is that guy over there going to attack, join you, or sell you stuff? You won;t know until you approach/get spotted. This has the promise to eat several hours of your time, if it can be made to work the way it is supposed to.,

Tags: Topdown - RPGMaker & Party RPG Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR:No resolution support. No Xbox360pad support. Scripting is broken. I picked up a knife and clicked optimize and it would not equip. My item tab was empty. Same with the door key. Trying to get through door says it requires a key even though I picked it up. Essentially trapping me in the very first room of the game.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
