Glasshouse

About The Game

Glasshouse is a narrative-driven CRPG set inside an apartment building under lockdown as a world war approaches. Wealdmaer, the building's deputy manager, must investigate three murders while dealing with frightened residents and a political conspiracy. Keeping the neighbors happy was already an unpleasant job before the corpses arrived. Political beliefs serve as the character's class system, influencing dialogue, checks, and methods of persuasion. Residents have their own convictions, so learning what matters to them can reveal useful ways to approach a confrontation. Turn-based encounters allow attacks with improvised weapons or verbal pressure intended to force an opponent to surrender. Exploration and branching conversations uncover clues, while crafting and carried items create additional solutions. Decisions affect the investigation and its eventual outcome, keeping the building's social tensions relevant beyond a single exchange. Developed by FLAT28, Glasshouse is coming to Windows PC on Steam. A public demo is available, but the full game does not yet have an announced release date.
