Gloamstone thumbnail art: a glowing lamp casts warm beams across a stone courtyard, with sliding stones and runes resting in shadow

Coming soon to web

Gloamstone

Slide the stones. Shade the runes.

A calm light-and-shadow puzzle. Lamps throw warm beams across a small stone courtyard, and every rune on the floor wants to rest in darkness. Slide the heavy stones into place to cast the shadows they need. Stones keep sliding until they hit something, so every move counts.

  • 20 hand-crafted levels, each with a par and three stars to earn
  • New ideas one at a time: embers that must stay lit, round lamps, grooved stones, lanterns you can carry
  • No timers and no fail state. Free undo, restart and an optional hint
  • Touch, mouse or keyboard, in portrait or landscape

Screenshots

  • Level 12, Embers Three: a round lamp lights four beams across the board while stones wait to be slid into place
    Round lamps shine in all four directions.
  • Gloamstone on a phone, level 6, Keep the Ember: a beam crosses an ember that must stay lit, with a tip that shows each piece as a small icon
    Made for phones, in portrait or landscape.
  • Gloamstone title screen with the tagline Slide the stones. Shade the runes.
    Calm by design: think as long as you like.
  • The final level complete: All runes rest, three stars, 18 moves, matched par
    Every level has a par. Can you match it?

About

Shenandoah Game Studios is a solo indie developer building original puzzle games for the web.

The studio takes its name from the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge, where long evenings fade from gold to blue. The games aim for that same feeling: quiet, clear and worth lingering over. Each one is designed and built from scratch, with simple rules that grow into satisfying puzzles. They open in a browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install.

  • Original ideas. Every game, level and piece of art is our own.
  • Made for the web. Small downloads, quick loading, and touch, mouse or keyboard.
  • Calm by design. Fair puzzles, no pressure, and time to think.
