 You are a private detective in 1927, hired to investigate a perplexing fire that killed thirteen people at a remote manor. The investigation leads from Philadelphia to the insular town of Crowshead, Pennsylvania, where you'll need all of your physical and mental skills to solve the case—or even survive! -Description of "Through A Glass" from publisher websiteAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first in the series of Vox Umbra gamebooks, "Through A Glass" was published in 2021. In it, you take the role of a private detective attempting to solve a mysterious disappearance. The book has a simple, self-contained ruleset. Before you begin play, you spend points to determine your character's skills in eight areas: Combat, Knowledge, Movement, Observation, Reflexes, Social, Strength, and Willpower. As you investigate the case, your detective can suffer damage to their Physical Health and Mental Health (tracked independently). "Through A Glass" has over one thousand branching entries that span several days of investigation.

 Backstory Horror: Your detective had some maddening experiences somewhere called Timotheum prior to the story. Just thinking about Timotheum can cause literal damage to your character's mental health.

 Ax-Crazy: Dr. Schofield is an outright serial killer and Willis Fortner is an abusive, easily-provoked killer. The patients (and an orderly) at Cindergate Asylum can also become this under the influence of Epley's book.

 Ammunition Conservation: Averted with your revolver. It always has enough bullets for your (relatively sparing) use. Played straight with the crossbow. There are a total of five crossbow bolts to find, and only one specific bolt can harm the burned man.

comment
 Bedlam House: Cindergate Mental Hospital (formerly Cindergate Asylum) outside of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania is a sprawling, "modern" hospital. The Courington Wing, however, is full of difficult prisoners with some rather barbaric treatments, and it gets much, much worse if you bring Franklin Epley's maddening book to his room.
