The Glassmaker

A glassmaker, late in life, keeps a notebook: your phone. Each calm puzzle brings back one of his memories, a new page in the notebook. Open the book. Arrange pieces of glass, paint, paper, thread and stars on its two pages. Then close it. Closing presses the left page onto the right one, mirrored, and if the pressed picture matches the memory, it appears on the cover: a photograph or a pressed print, with two lines of his poem. Made for iPhone Duo. The fold is the verb: every puzzle is solved by closing the book, so you think in mirror images, and you can tell the page is ready before you close it. MATERIAL PUZZLES Paint mixes like paint. Glass mixes like light. Water spreads, paper blocks, ink takes colour, and on clear nights the stars join into the constellations he named after the people he loved. You learn every rule by watching the materials behave. ONE LONG POEM 100 memories across the seasons of one life: the kitchen of his childhood, the studio where he fell in love, his father's workshop, the long winter, and the night sky over the river. Read in order, the finished pages become one poem. Turn back through the book at any time and reread it. CALM, ALL THE WAY THROUGH No timers, no lives, no scores, no fail screens. Nothing ever says "wrong". If a memory does not come, the hint on the cover simply gains a clue. A music box, the sound of paper and glass, and quiet haptics say "yes". - 100 hand-made levels in ten chapters - Paper, light, sky and window puzzles - Assist mode, colour glyphs, and a no-fold mode that gives the Duo hinge a rest - No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no data collected - Progress syncs with iCloud From Studio Avante.
