Hi everyone, I'm Andrea one of the developer of Flat28, a collective working on an upcoming RPG called Glasshouse.

As the title says Glasshouse is a thrilling, narrative-driven survival cRPG set in a post-capitalist world in flames. You'll have to find the spy hidden in the condo, build makeshift equipment and make the ultimate choice of whether to survive the Nuclear Winter with or without your flatmates!

Taking inspiration from games like Disco Elysium and This War of Mine but not limited to them we're trying to build a game where RPG lovers can get deep into while adding many peculiar elements.

You can get a summary of what kind of features Glasshouse has and an introduction to the story, make sure to wishlist it on Steam if you're interested!

If you have any questions please feel free to ask I'll be more than happy to answer! :)

Thank you for your welcome! Happy to be here :)

We're working hard to show and eventually implement some of the newest features and "location" we've been working on for a while. For those who already played the demo, that's just the tip of the iceberg and we can't wait to show more :)

Wishlisted now!
I keep forgetting to wishlist games occasionally, even if it has been explained repeatedly how important that is for developers.
Glasshouse caught my attention before, I don't remember where I first heard about it. I think it's a cool idea to limit the game to an apartment instead of having a big world to explore, the survival aspect gets totally new dynamics there, unlike other post-apocalyptic or disaster scenarios where you're on the run and exploring unknown territory. Should give room for lots and lots of dialogue and skills and difficult choices to make, looking forward to it!

Also, a warm welcome of course!

Wishlisted as well. What a cool idea a crpg game! I agree that limiting the size of a world is a great move. After playing so many open world games lately, I'd welcome the change.

Besides, the game inspired by Disco Elysium cannot be bad, right? 😉

I admit, though, I couldn't get into The War is Mine, though. More because of a gameplay than anything other. Maybe I'll give it another chance someday.

And welcome in Tavern, Andrea. I hope you'll fine a nice cozy place by the fireplace!

Thank you all guys! I agree with what you're saying. We like to say that Glasshouse is an open-world cramped within a condo and that's because even though the game is somehow confined inside a building there will be a whole lot to do and explore!

Thanks again for the warm welcome 😄

Hey there Andrea! I'm so looking forward to your game. Same with Sovereign Syndicate! Or Broken Roads! What a time for cRPGs!

I saw some comments on /pcgaming about your game. Seems the majority gets it! (y)

Hi there! Long time no see :) I'm back on this forum one year later to bring you some big news! Last time I was here we had just released what we called "Concept Demo". It was a 2h+ demo that put together some of the features and environments we were aiming for.

Now things have changed and we're back with some juicy news. After 1 year of work we're finally ready to publicly present you our newest official demo. No more "concept", no more spin-off or different kind of narrative or limited features.

This August we'll be at GAMESCOM 2025 with a playable Alpha Demo of GLASSHOUSE -- 30 minutes of gameplay coming directly from ACT I of the final game. Forget about the old concept demo, Alpha Demo features:
  • Completely new storyline,
  • Combat System,
  • 8 Characters,
  • Enchanced Political Compass,
  • UI Overhaul,
  • Sensible graphics update,
  • Journal overhaul,
  • Glossary implementation,
  • Full fledged Dormitory 73B exploration and much more!

    To give you guys a glimpse of what we have been working on I'll leave you here few screenshots for you! Mostly environment stuff as we don't spoil too much!
    Demo Screenshots:

On a last note, shortly after the Gamescom we plan to release our demo publicly on Steam, so make sure to keep your eyes open!

Thank you :)

Looking forward to your (updated) public demo. Hope Gamescom works out nicely for you, and you get a lot of new followers and wishlist numbers.

Tagging @JustKneller - the game is isometric, so it should be something up your alley.
