About



John Doe, a man with no memory, wanders for days through the desert, on the verge of survival. When all seems lost, he spots a remote saloon in the distance: the Bitter Glass. In search of water and shelter, John steps inside… only to find himself trapped in a place that seems alive and haunted by the souls of the dead. The ghosts inhabiting the saloon are members of the gang, the Demons of the Apocalypse, and they ask John to fulfill their last wishes to finally find peace. But a deeper mystery looms: who is John Doe? And why won’t these souls let him go?

Uncover the hidden secrets of the Bitter Glass by solving cleverly designed puzzles. Each puzzle serves as a key to better understand John Doe’s past and his connection to the ghosts.
Every paranormal encounter challenges John’s sanity. Use whiskey to lower his anxiety level, but beware: drinking too much leads to drunkenness, and the only way to sober up is by vomiting. A delicate balance between sanity and clarity is essential to survive.
John encounters the members of the "Demons of the Apocalypse," each with unfinished business. Can he fulfill their requests, or will their thirst for revenge be too strong?
From the unsettling shadows of the saloon to the desert dunes, every corner of Lonely Plain hides secrets and dangers that sustain a constant sense of threat.
The soundtrack and sound effects will fully immerse you in the spectral Wild West of the Bitter Glass, amplifying horror and tension.
A mystery that slowly unfolds through terrifying encounters and chilling confessions. Each ghost has a story to tell, and every tale brings John closer to a harrowing truth.
Find and interpret cryptic letters left by those who were trapped here before you. Each message is a piece of the puzzle that helps uncover the secrets of the saloon and its past.
Detailed environments and realistic lighting make the world of the Bitter Glass both terrifying and immersive, drawing players into a nightmare set in the Wild West.
Every moment is filled with palpable tension, with jumpscares and sudden appearances keeping players on the edge of their seats.

Bitter Glass is the second game in the developer Daniele Doesn't Matter's "Scary Shadow Spot" series. This series is inspired heavily by the 1960's Twilight Zone TV show. This game is a horror walking simulator with many excellent puzzles and several minor easy stealth sections. The game took just over 4 hours to complete. + The setting is original and super atmospheric. The game takes place in a small western town, complete with a bar saloon, a small hotel, and a little grocery store. There are a few little places to explore around the outskirts as well. + A few very well placed jumpscares. The horror is toned down a bit in this game in favour for more of an exploration / puzzle experience. There are still some very frightening unnerving moments. + The "Getting Drunk" to calm your nerves, and "Throwing up" to get sober, gameplay mechanic is hilarious. + The story is mysterious and exceptional. Lots to uncover. Many interesting zombie characters to discover and talk to. + The game is extremely polished, ran perfectly on max settings. + The AI voice acting is well done, very clear, and well written. It works perfectly to tell the story coherently. + Excellent creepy sound effects throughout the whole game. + Several really original and fun puzzles to complete. - There are 2 puzzles in the game that rely heavy on trial and error, they can be super annoying, requiring many tries. - Several times a woman ghost will chase you and you will not know where to go, run into the wrong building, and get instantly killed. Fortunately this will only put you back a minute or two, remember to load up your most recent Autosave in the main menu. Do not click restart, it will set you back further. An atmospheric horror puzzle game in a western setting, who can say no to that?! Overall: 8.5/10
I received this game for free from Daniele Doesn't Matter, thank you! You can also find me in the game on a Wanted Poster (go find me)! This is the 2nd installment to the Scary Shadow Spot series - a Twilight Zone-like indie horror game franchise. In this game you play as John Doe who is wandering in a deserted (mostly) town to learn about the deaths of the cowboy gang the "Demons of the Apocalypse" and find out how/why they died while exploring your own mysterious existence in this eerie location. If you like puzzles and intriguing story lines, you'll love this game! There is no combat. I think this is the weakest of Daniele's games so far (and I've played them all), but it was still a lot of fun to play and I was very entertained by it. I can't wait to see what the next installment in the Scary Shadow Spot series brings! PROS: * Engaging story * Easy controls (K&M only) * Easy UI system * Items replenish over time so you'll never run out (healing, save tokens, etc) * Once you get the lantern, you'll never need candles (so throw them and matches away) * Pretty graphics * Fun puzzles * Fun collectables (streamer "Wanted" posters) * Manual saves with coins at cash registers (must have a coin to save) * Large inventory * Interesting use of health/anxiety meter (BARFING!) CONS: * No controller support * Limited sound effects and music * No voice acting other than the narrator (which is AI) * AI voice acting from the narrator feels a bit off and the accent doesn't fit the genre * I could only find one hiding spot to get away from the female witch/ghoul; otherwise you just have to keep running until she disappears or you go to the correct building location * The only "deadly" monster is the female witch/ghoul https://www.seravium.com https://twitch.tv/seravium
J'attendais ce nouvel épisode avec impatience, et je ne suis pas déçu! On retrouve le soin et la qualité qu'apporte le studio à ces jeux, avec un gros focus sur l'intrigue et une ambiance très immersive. Le jeu à le mérite de proposer un cadre atypique, très bien rendu. Les jumpscares sont terrifiants, et l’enchaînement des énigmes à gagné en fluidité comparé aux jeux précédents. Gameplay FR : https://youtu.be/S3QAHOF4og0?si=4K7-zxEzOQTkwGVq
Doesn't Matter Games releases another episode of "Scary Shadow Spot"... and just like episode one... it does not disappoint. There are a TON of perfectly timed scares in the game... a plethora of mind bending puzzles... and an interesting story with Danieles' personal flair attached. There's also an "Easter Egg" for episode three in the game. I'm not going to tell where to look for it... but just keep your eyes peeled... and make sure you explore every nook and cranny of the Bitter Glass saloon and the surrounding buildings and area. Daniele may not matter... but he never disappoints.
Muy buen juego de puzzles y misterio Con una buena historia y un final increible, recomendadisimo. Very good puzzle and mystery game with a good story and an incredible ending, highly recommended. Juego : https://youtu.be/sCz48duFc7w
Als mein erstes Spiel dieser Reihe muss ich sagen: Ich bin begeistert. Zwar hatte ich ein Bug, dass ich nicht sprinten konnte, weshalb ich das Spiel neu starten musste aber die deutsche Synchro war gut gemacht. Die Story war richtig gut und alles passte gut zusammen. Alles im allem eine Empfehlung wert
出中文!!!!!不然解密好难啊啊啊啊
Absolutely loving this little twilight zone inspired series. Doesn't Matter Games has a formula that works for horror and puzzles and every game so far has been so much fun. Nothing beats working through multiple puzzles at once thru the entire game and getting that excited feeling as you slowly finish them all off before the end of the game. I think it just hits the right parts of my ADHD brain without becoming frustrating and overwhelming. Episode 3 please!
Spaventoso, divertente, una storia avvincente che mi ha tenuto avvinghiata al PC a giocare dall'inizio alla fine! SUPER!
Gioco Molto bello , enigmi intriganti , un'atmosfera noir che ricorda molto la serie a cui è ispirato "the twilight zone" .... assolutamete da provare e da giocare
