Very short first-person adventure game that is more like an intro or prologue than an actual game or even first episode of a series. It took me around 15 minutes to complete with very few interactions. On the store page, it says the purchase includes the season one pass, meaning four episodes, but episodes 2 to 4 were never made and will never be made.

Sam Glyph was actually intended to be a series. For some reason it didn't even get a second ep. It's been seven years since this originally came. The project was clearly abandoned. That is sad. But even if it wasn't abandoned: It wasn't good. Additional episodes wouldn't be able to save it. It is just a very weak game with a little to offer. Even the voice acting felt kind of weak to hear. The first episode only takes about half an hour. And it doesn't have a second episode to follow. It ends on a cliffhanger that won't get resolved. Why are they still selling this? Unfinished trash. This game actually deserves a negative review. It's just a waste of money. Don't buy this trash. Narrow Monolith seems like a big scam studio. This isn't the first unfinished game from them. I truly hope they'll get blacklisted from Steam.

This game is six years old at the time of writing, and it still only has episode 1. Be aware of that before you buy it, as it likely will never be finished at this rate. The game itself is okay - very short (~20 minutes to complete episode 1), consisting mainly of you walking around the room(s) that you're in and interacting with several objects until you trigger the end of that scene. During these interactions, you're subjected to some pretty cringy commentary by your character that tries to be funny but fails at it. Despite it's flaws though, I actually wouldn't mind finishing it if the dev would continue work on the game. But six years, to me, says that it's been abandoned. And for that, I have to give it a negative review.

Extremely short game. Don't bother. Sam is pretty funny though. Wish they had fleshed out this game and actually finished the chapters. Might have been pretty good.

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38287655-Prof.Vaharrak/]Prof.Vaharrak's Curator Group - Almost 30 years of gaming experience at your service[/url] Lasts 15 minutes and there's no game, you just click on stuff to look and hear some cringey unfunny dialogue until there's no more to click on as what passes for a story unfolds. No options of any kind, no way to skip the cutscenes, slow movement, achievements don't work and so on. Avoid.
