FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 17, 2026 – Lunarch Studios and 983 Interactive are pleased to announce the release of The Artisan of Glimmith, a cozy, relaxing puzzle game about coloring stained glass and restoring the artworks of a kingdom above the clouds. Now available on Steam, Explore a world of handcrafted puzzles designed with intent, where simple rules lead to delightful surprises.
From The Creators of Islands of Insight
In The Artisan of Glimmith, players are tasked by the enigmatic Elias Vidimus to breathe life back into the legendary glassworks of Glimmith. The experience centers on a unique "union of strict form and liberated color," challenging players to master intricate logic grid based puzzles while expressing their own creative colorful vision.
While Islands of Insight was an open world experience, Glimmith stands on its own as a solo adventure solving handcrafted logic puzzles created by a team of award winning puzzlesetters.
“This is an all new single-player game by the same team who did the logic grids for Islands of Insight with an environment by the artists who did IOI’s enclaves.” said Game Director Elyot Grant. “This time, we focused on region division puzzles where you split and join cells of a grid together to form shapes. They feel very different from the shading puzzles in IOI, but they have the same kind of logic flow.”
Key Features:
- Curated, Not Generated: Experience a journey handcrafted by human puzzle designers.
- Variety: Discover over 20 unique rule types while you color, cut, and join beautiful stained glass artworks.
- Mastery: Optional finale puzzles put experts to the test. These challenges require you to use every trick you’ve learned to pass.
- Steam Workshop: Create, share and solve your own unique puzzles with the community using the in-game puzzle editor!
Availability and Pricing
The Artisan of Glimmith is available today for $12.99 USD. To celebrate the grand opening of the glassworks, a special 10% launch week discount is available for early artisans.
