Description
Glulx is a story file format for Interactive Fiction (IF) games. It is developed and maintained by Andrew Plotkin.

Extensions
- .ulx: standard extension for a stand-alone Glulx file
- .blb, .blorb, .glb, .gblorb: used for Glulx files packaged in the Blorb container format. Usually along with other resources such as images and sounds.
