Glacierbound is a browser-based first-person shooter released on April 27, 2020 that was written by Brian J. Boucher as a raycaster in JavaScript. Reminiscent of the Catacomb 3D games, the player is a spell-caster, who has to fight various monsters while collecting keys to progress through levels of uniform height.
