The Path of Glass

Synopsis

Jacob accompanies his partner, Olga, to the austere residence of the Volkov family. What should be a formal dinner to meet her parents soon unravels into a suffocating encounter dominated by heavy silences, cold stares, and a veiled interrogation about lineage, history, and obedience.

Confined within high stone walls built like a bunker, Jacob navigates the frozen halls while unprescribed medicine clouds his perception and buried fragments of his past violently resurface.

The Experience

The Path of Glass is a dark narrative piece exploring guilt, fragile memories, and the weight of irreversible choices. Through a deliberately oppressive atmosphere, the game strips away commercial tropes to place its full focus on dramatic tension, measured dialogue, and silence.

Crafted as an intimate work meant to be completed in a single sitting, it draws the player into a psychological corner where the deepest dread stems not from cheap scares, but from the inability to outrun who you are.
