Glory by Example is a narrative experience originally made with RPGMaker, developed and published by Quote Studios. Although the original version of the story has since been delisted from Steam, a book adaptation was written by A.D. Mandala and published in 2017, and is still available through online distributors.Humanity is on its last legs. A disease known as "The Affliction" has taken out millions of people, and the moon has been knocked closer to Earth due to a comet's impact, leaving most landmasses underwater and uninhabitable. Those that have survived are living decently on the man-made island of Ex, but when the Affliction is able to reach even them, it's questionable if any of them will be able to survive... |

Unexpected Gameplay Change |
| | Glory By Example (Video Game) / int_1467a30c |
comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The game is mostly a narrative experience, but there is one mandatory RPG battle against three Afflicted. There are two more battles in the Pacifist ending, one of which is a Hopeless Boss Fight. |

Multiple Endings |
| | Glory By Example (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 |
comment |
Multiple Endings: Three, all decided by a Last-Second Ending Choice: Genesis: Galaxy shoots Eleanor and Kayle, but runs out of bullets before she can commit suicide. She lets herself be torn apart by their Afflicted corpses out of guilt. Pacifist: Galaxy can't shoot anyone. She and Kayle decide to use explosives to blow up the whole island, and the cause of the Affliction, while Eleanor uses her last moments to help them. They succeed, but die in the process. Betrayal: Galaxy shoots herself, and then Kayle shoots herself with the last bullet, while Eleanor slowly bleeds to death. Eleanor's last moments are another hallucination of John, followed by a hallucination of everyone else she's met as one huge group, as the world fades out. |

Meta Twist: There are two styles of character sprites in the game that tend to clash, with main characters having a more "chibi" style than supporting ones. This makes the revelation that the real John was seen earlier as a supporting character more shocking. |

Zombie Apocalypse: What the Affliction is, more or less; it infects ordinary, but alive, people and turns them into flesh-tearing monsters. It definitely becomes more Zombie-like when it starts reanimating corpses. |
