Well-Read Varangians released GLYPHTRIP on Steam on November 11. Its dungeon uses ASCII glyphs for the creatures that players fight and the world they move through. Players ram through groups of enemies and grow stronger with each kill as they work their way deeper into a world whose presentation grows less stable.

Well-Read Varangians released GLYPHTRIP on Steam on November 11. Its dungeon uses ASCII glyphs for the creatures that players fight and the world they move through. Players ram through groups of enemies and grow stronger with each kill as they work their way deeper into a world whose presentation grows less stable. The

game grew from an experiment the studio spent months refining. Its progression makes combat part of the route through the dungeon. Fighting supplies the power to descend farther while the changing presentation makes the surroundings harder to read. Official announcement · Official Steam listing Image credited to
