## What is Glowhold?

A peaceful village by day. Eyes in the darkness by night. Take hold of the light and help your villagers reach dawn.

Glowhold is a village-defence strategy game made for one-finger controls. Drag to guide your beam, repel enemies and herd them towards torches and towers. Lift your finger to replenish oil. When danger closes in, spend oil on a brilliant flare.

BUILD YOUR HAVEN
Repair walls and improve buildings between nights. Each in-game day gives you one building action, so choose what your village needs most. Zoom in and tap a building to learn what it does. Villagers bring the valley to life with little speech bubbles.

MEET THE CREATURES OF THE DARK
Different enemies call for different tactics. Five bosses have their own abilities, with tougher encounters as you progress. Your first boss arrives on night 10, followed by a boss every 5 nights. An in-game guide and bestiary help you prepare.

COME BACK TO YOUR VILLAGE
Gather sparks while you are away. Starting on night 4, a daily quest gives you another challenge: a new one arrives once per calendar day, at local midnight. Open the quest panel for its full description and the next refresh time. Losing a night does not erase your village.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Short nights, touch controls and a storybook landscape.
• Polish and English, on iPhone and iPad.
• Core gameplay works offline with no account.
• Local saves with manual village-code export and import.
• No energy system and no subscriptions.

Optional rewarded ads require internet and depend on availability. One permanent Glowhold Premium purchase lets you claim eligible bonuses without watching ads, and adds a daily streak shield, an ember beam colour and decorative statue plinths. Reward conditions and limits still apply. The core game remains available without a purchase.
