About the Game


Glyphen is an Immersive Spellcasting Adventure in which you play as a Keeper, a scholar sent to explore the ruins of a forgotten civilization. However, among the dust and the rubbles, you discover a way to draw mysterious Glyphs and invoke something that was long gone from this world: magic.






Explore the ruins of Talyr ka Mot to find new Glyphs, discover their secrets and combine them into a wide variety of spells. Experiment to find new spell effects or change a simple a flame into a giant fireball, or a classic heal into a rejuvenating dome. The organic way to discover and cast spells will make YOU (more than your character) a master spellcaster, able to quickly invoke a fireball even in the face of danger. Unless you succumb to panic, lose your mind and your dexterity...






Through the streets of the Outskirts to the heart of the mountain, uncover the history of the Helgemor. As part of the First Expedition, your role is to explore and understand what happened to this city and those who lived here. But beware: just because the city is abandoned doesn't mean it is without dangers. And with the powers and technology that dwell in the ruins, Talyr ka Mot could also become you and your companions' last rest...






Between elemental reactions, movable objects and other interactive elements, Glyphen aims to give you an immersive experience through and through. Approach every obstacle your way, outsmart your enemies and use the environment to your advantage, all without any handholding. Keep your eyes open and your mind sharp.
