Editorial Don't bother
All That Glitters has an ambitious sandbox premise with visual appeal, but players report severe execution problems on both fronts. The creative vision—a slow-burn life simulator with corruption mechanics—is undermined by a skeleton of content: interactions with other characters lead nowhere, skills plateau or reset without explanation, stat checks fail (confidence over 100 still blocks 40-required actions), and progression gates are opaque and frustrating. Most damaging, players describe the gameplay loop as tedious grinding with no meaningful payoff—"a waste of time" according to multiple reviewers. The build itself is unstable: crashes during family encounters, bathroom loops when showering naked, missing closures in Twine macros, and missing or inaccessible locations (gym, shopping mall). While the game's scope and premise appeal to sandbox fans, the current state is too broken and incomplete to recommend even to its intended audience.
