A free gaming platform that allows you to play games

Glyph is a gaming platform that you install on your computer. It allows you to play games that were produced by Trion Worlds, which includes a small number of free games. If you have this tool installed, then you do not need to log into an online account to play Trion Worlds games.

No always-online requirement for single-player games

Once you have Glyph installed, you are able to play games produced by Trion Worlds, and you are able to play some of the single-player games without needing to be online all the time. The games you are able to play are DRM-free, which means you may download and install them on whichever device you happen to be using. Just like Steam, you have a library of games that are linked with your account, and you may download the ones that are considered yours. You may also uninstall the games, and they are still available to you for download whenever you need them again.

A gaming platform that may be around for a while

Many developers have tried to come up with their own DRM-free gaming platform in order to compete with Steam, and many gaming platforms have fizzled out shortly after setting up. Glyph may be around for a while because Trion Worlds games are popular, and they have the lure of numerous free games that may be added and played. The lure of not needing an Internet connection to play is not new, but it is a welcome change from what other developers have tried to do.
