GLANCED launched on Steam on August 17, 2026. The horror game makes looking at its porcelain dolls lethal and supports both online cooperation and player-versus-player play.

GLANCED: confirmed details

Players must navigate while controlling where they look, turning the camera itself into a survival tool. Multiplayer modes let companions share the danger or place players on opposing sides. Steam confirms support for Windows and Linux. The official store listing credits VOXELMANA as developer and publisher.

What changed for players

Most horror games ask players to identify a threat quickly; GLANCED makes recognition dangerous. That reversal can disrupt familiar camera habits, while competitive play gives another person a reason to exploit where attention is directed.

Availability and lasting context

GLANCED is listed as a released product rather than an Early Access build. Patches may still change performance, balance and interface details after launch. The confirmed release supports Windows and Linux. This launch report describes only features documented in the official listing at the time of publication. Store availability and supported languages can vary by account region. Pricing, online availability and later updates should be checked on the live store page rather than treated as permanent facts.

This report separates features released on the stated date from later patches and community expectations. Balance values and platform support can change, but the documented release history remains the same.
