Bring Bellhaven back to light, one window at a time. Glowmender is a cozy stained-glass restoration game built around thoughtful rotation puzzles. Tap a pane to turn it, reconnect the light, and watch a forgotten window glow again.

Each finished window returns warmth and color to Bellhaven, and completing a building marks a lasting restoration. SOLVE AT YOUR OWN PACE There are no timers and no lives to lose.
