Glowborn: A Firefly Against the Evernight

📍 Brooklyn, NY (US)

🏷️ Video Games

Evernight has fallen over the Glimmerwood.

The forest’s light sources are being swallowed one by one, leaving trails of mist, silence, and frightened footsteps. Small creatures hide in the dark, injured or trapped, and the pathways they once knew have become hazards.

You play as DianDian, a tiny firefly born with a stubborn glow. To push deeper into the Evernight, DianDian must devour the forest’s lost lights to restore strength and unlock new ways to survive. But this journey is not only about getting brighter, it’s about bringing life back.

Along the path, you’ll discover animals in danger and fragile pieces of the ecosystem that can be healed. A wounded mushroom can become a stepping stone again. A trapped friend can be guided back to safety. Every rescue is a small rebellion against the dark.

As DianDian grows stronger, the forest fights back. Webbed corridors crackle with lethal beams. Shadows move in the fog. And at the end of our current level, a massive predator waits: a giant spider boss, the weaver of this dead silence, guarding the night like a living lock.

We’ve already completed one playable level, including the full spider boss encounter. With your support, we’ll expand Glowborn into a complete adventure with more areas, more rescued friends, more threats, and more light to reclaim.
