GLYPHTRIP
Launches 11 November 2026 · PC
An idyllic meadow. A cave. Smetterlings. Plato's solids hang in one sky. A room behind one wall is Indra's net. Hell is under new management. Your trip will take you through places that become increasingly difficult to describe correctly, built from cosmologies that were never meant to share a wall. You begin somewhere peaceful. Remember it. GLYPHTRIP is a real-time, first-person, run-based, rogue-ish dungeon sprinter with no third dimension, raycast from a flat grid onto a screen of colored Unicode, where the beat runs through the world you have to navigate. The description above calls it an ASCII roguelike. It lied. Nobody searches for the truth. Instructions are sparse. Explanation is fleeting. The deeper you go, the less reliable either becomes. Explore nonsensical realms and fragmented experiences. Find things that should not be there. Try to reach the heart of what has been sitting quietly alongside you your entire life. Try not to lose your head. RAM. Your weapon is a short dash. That's it. RAM something and it goes flying. Throw enemies into walls, into each other, across pits, through rooms, or into things better dealt with from a distance. Momentum passes...

Throw enemies into walls, into each other, across pits, through rooms, or into things better dealt with from a distance. Momentum passes between bodies. Crowded rooms become unstable very quickly. Some things cannot be rammed. Throw something else at them. Twelve kinds of glyph populate the dungeon, each with its own behavior and its own...
