About the Game

Glassbound is an idle creature-raising game that lives at the bottom of your screen. Summon otherworldly beings, raise them inside glass bottles, and choose between the path of Light or Darkness—while these tiny lives quietly keep you company throughout your day.

You can let them grow on their own, or experiment with placement and combinations to unlock new possibilities.

Summon & Collect

Discover over 200 creatures. Use scrolls to summon beings from different worlds, from fluffy critters to deep-sea spirits. Fill out your collection and uncover rare hidden species along the way.

Placement & Strategy

Each creature has its own personality. Some thrive in groups, some prefer solitude, and some affect their neighbors. How you arrange them will shape your efficiency and overall strategy.

Light or Darkness

After raising your creatures, will you ascend them or sacrifice them? Every choice shifts the direction of your compass. Each path offers different abilities, content, and progression styles.

Companions & Bonds

Meet seven companions from different races. Give gifts, have conversations, and unlock their personal stories. Your choices along the Light or Darkness paths will shape your relationships with them.

Expeditions

Send your creatures out to explore different regions. Gather rare materials, discover hidden content, and gradually unlock more of the world.

Desktop Companion

The game runs quietly at the bottom of your screen without interrupting your workflow. Your bottled world keeps moving on its own, always there when you come back.
