Glasshouse

About

Glasshouse is a turn-based RPG set in a crumbling apartment complex under strict lockdown as global conflict looms. You navigate tight corridors and claustrophobic rooms while figuring out a triple homicide linked to a shadowy political scheme. Dialogue and action choices shape alliances with eccentric neighbors, each pushing their own agenda. Combat unfolds in grid-based encounters where resource management and positioning matter more than brute strength. The story leans into moral ambiguity, forcing you to weigh survival against loyalty in a setting where trust erodes faster than the building’s foundation. The game’s narrative tightens like a noose as secrets stack, with branching paths that feel weighty without overpromising. Community feedback highlights its sharp writing and how small character moments linger longer than set pieces. While not graphically flashy, the pixel art conveys tension effectively, and the apartment’s decay mirrors the figuring out plot. Most players finish in 15-20 hours, though missed choices can trigger unexpected consequences in later chapters.
