BLACKGLASS is made independently. About · Support it on Patreon

About

I’m Jake, a Welsh developer making Blackglass Fragments: a browser-based narrative exploration game told through connected stories.

The first fragment, The Old Road, follows four playable characters, each with their own journey, map and view of the same world.

Their stories are independent, but they overlap. A stranger in one story may be the protagonist of another, and events that seem unexplained from one perspective may make sense from another.

As you explore and make choices, your map records the places, people and consequences you leave behind. Future fragments will continue those journeys and grow your own Blackglass Atlas.

Blackglass Fragments is in active development. If you’d like to support the project, you can support it on Patreon.
