The premise, in the publisher's words
A mechanical monster has devastated the nation and poisoned the land. In Glyph, you snatch a fractured civilization from the jaws of doom after runaway technology has destroyed everything. But safe ground is rare in this dying world. The desert sands are toxic and destruction has left few places to rest... So the last shred of hope is for you to collect the resources that will restore life to your home.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5 4590 or AMD FX 8350 or greater, 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 970 (AMD Radeon R9 290). At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Glyph launched on 11 January 2021, within three weeks of Hitman 3, Omori, The Medium and Skul: The Hero Slayer. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the Nintendo Switch's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Hitman 3, Omori, The Medium, Skul: The Hero Slayer.
