The world of indie visual novels has a long-standing love affair with deconstructing fairy tales. We have seen the damsel in distress become the hunter, the prince become the tyrant, and the happily-ever-after dissolve into political intrigue. Into this crowded genre steps Little Gla... (the developer’s truncated moniker) with Cinderella's Glass Collar, currently in active development at version 0.3.0.
