The Shadows of the Northreach Glen

The Shadows of Northreach Glen

The Shadows of Northreach Glen is a slow-burn interactive story you play in your browser by typing commands. The fog here keeps its own counsel, and the valley remembers what you touch, what you move, and what you decide to leave alone.

It is built in the spirit of classic parser adventures, but it leans hard into atmosphere: darkness, distance, sound, and the little details you only notice when you stop rushing.

What it feels like

Expect exploration, puzzles, and choices that stick. Some rooms will test what you can do without good light. Some solutions depend on noticing what is missing.

You stand at the edge of the glen, where the road turns to wet gravel and the fog begins. > look The mist does not part so much as rearrange itself. Somewhere ahead, water moves over stone. > listen A soft rush of river-sound. Closer than you thought.
