Effective storytelling makes Glass worth playing, October 9, 2020by bradleyswissman (Virginia, US) Emily Short really pushes some boundaries of IF that she has similarly played with in Galatea. I highly recommend playing this game at least once through before reading any spoilers. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

"Bronze" is certainly stronger than "Glass", July 16, 2017by Cory Roush (Ohio) Another in a series of Emily Short's fractured fairy tales, but without the depth and complexity of "Bronze"... so unfortunately, not as enjoyable. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A short, one-room fairy-tale game where you cannot act, February 3, 2016by MathBrush This is one of my two favorite Emily Short games (the other being Floatpoint). In this game, a re-telling of Cinderella, you play an observer in the trying-on-of-shoes portion of the story. You can take no actions, but you can introduce topics in the conversation to steer you to one of six possible endings. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

More interesting than it appears at first glance, October 26, 2015by RickyD (South Carolina, USA) First time I played this, I realized very quickly that I was essentially an outside observer. However, I initially thought I was ONLY an outside observer and could do very little to impact the course of the game. (Basically the only thing you can do is say words, though your vocabulary is a bit bigger than I initially thought.) It wasn't until I played it a few more times that I realized I had more control than I initially thought, and that's when it started to get interesting. In the end, I discovered half a dozen different endings from my own playing around (and I had some help finding the last one (Spoiler - click to show)where you're sold to pirates and don't even get to see how the story ends.)

I like it, October 23, 2014by Sobol (Russia) The game clearly belongs to the escape-the-one-room genre. The winning ending - the one where you become a pirate - is hard to find, since there are so many red herrings: princes, witches, slippers, etc. But it feels very satisfying when you finally manage to free the player character from people who clip its wings, lock it in a cage and ridicule it.

Light Fun, April 1, 2012by Jim Kaplan (Jim Kaplan has a room called the location. The location of Jim Kaplan is variable.) Related reviews: Emily short, one-room, short Play it if: you're in the mood for bite-sized IF with a bit of innovation and Emily Short's trademark narrative voice. Was this review helpful to you?

saw right through this one! just kidding, January 10, 2011by Aintelligence (Canada) Emily Short always has a knack of spinning fairy tales into a fantastic, twisted story. Glass is no exception. Instead of completely spinning the story (like Alabaster for example), the story is unique because instead of playing Cinderella, or the prince, or even the stepmother, the viewpoint is through the family parrot.

Short but interesting. , June 10, 2010by tggdan3 (Michigan) This game is particularly short. You are a parrot watching a conversation between the prince (from cinderella), and the stepmother/stepsisters. The fairy tale is assumed well known to the reader. Was this review helpful to you?

A sarcastic and innovative confection, June 8, 2008As a bird in a cage witnessing the resolution of "Cinderella," the player is an observer with very limited control over unfolding events. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
