Sister of Shattering Glass was a mesmerizing adventure story for adults and young adults alike — told entirely with text messages. No set, no lights, no venue to go to.
Taking the role of a concerned father, you receive messages from your two daughters who are trapped inside a great, dark maze behind the mirrors of the world.
Written by Katherine Catmull, the acclaimed YA novelist of Summer and Bird — and featuring beautiful photographs by Annie Gunn and immersive sound design by Buzz Moran.

On the smartphone of each audience member. No venue to go to.
STORY:
Sister of Shattering Glass follows Summer and Bird as they race toward the center of a dark maze behind the mirrors of the world, where a being born from reflections and fractures threatens to devour the maze from within — including the two sisters and every bird on earth.
The story unfolds gradually over the course of five months. During that time, each character messages you directly from a phone number of their own: your daughters, their friends and teachers — and the residents of the maze itself.
