| 3 | The game takes place on an alien planet where you were sent on a xenohistory mission. You play a stranded xenohistorian after your dropship crashes. Left alone at the site of what seems to the greatest discovery of the Ancient's technology you have to find a way home. Glowgrass is relatively short, more focused on telling a story than with presenting the player with puzzles. However, the parser has a habit of making a few simple actions feel like puzzles. |

| 12 | * {{Precursors}}: The Ancients seem like this at first. |
| 13 | * VirtualGhost: A consequence of brain uploading. |
| 14 | * YouCantGetYeFlask: Players commonly have difficulty plugging cables in, as the parser doesn't recognize the verb and instead uses put. |
