Critic Reviews
Gaming Age
By Monica DenizenOverall, I enjoyed Puppet Combo’s latest horror installment. It started slowly, then escalated to full nonstop combat.
Niche Gamer
By Fingal BelmontIf you enjoyed prior Puppet Combo releases, The Glass Staircase will be as enjoyable. This is a very specific kind of horror adventure game that is like a very brief but hearty challenge. The story and lore are uninteresting and largely forgettable, but the few lines of dialogue there are for the characters are enough to figure out who they are. For its price, it’s a worthwhile cheap thrill that has a few good scares.
Echo Boomer
By João CaneloA console debut that comes too late and ends up revealing more of The Glass Staircase's problems than serving as a good introduction to a game originally released four years ago.
GameSpew
By Richard SeagraveInspired by horror classics such as Silent Hill 2 and Eternal Darkness, The Glass Staircase is Puppet Combo's most ambitious release yet. This surreal and atmospheric experience will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entirety of its brief playing time, though checkpointing and aiming issues may frustrate a little.
