[Milan, November 22, 2025] — FLAT28 COLLECTIVE is proud to announce the PRE-ALPHA PLAYTEST of GLASSHOUSE, taking place from November 22 to December 7 on Steam.
Glasshouse is a love letter to thrillers, apartment-block life, and bar-counter politics. A CRPG Lite developed since 2022 with no budget and in our spare time — for adults who love role-playing games but no longer have 100+ hours to sink into them.
- 40 minutes of gameplay from ACT I
- Free exploration of Dormitory 73B
- First look at turn-based combat
- Customizable Political Build
Glasshouse is a Feudalpunk CRPG with Turn-Based Combat set in a condominium in lockdown – at the dawn of a world war. You're stuck in a crime scene with three corpses: be a true block leader, discover what your neighbors are hiding or get out before it's too late!
KEY FEATURES:
🔍 Condominium Thriller: you're in the middle of a political conspiracy; find a way out of it, with or without your tenants.
🎲CRPG: many choices, few dice, less RNG and numerous consequences that depend only and solely on you.
🛠️Turn-Based Combat: talk as long as you can, fight if you really have to.
🦋Political Compass: build your political orientation by assigning points to 5 different ideologies.
🔮Post-Capitalist World: immerse yourself in a dark decentralized world, between Victorian and Renaissance, where technology doesn't progress and nations have been replaced by feuds.
🎭Theatrical Play: GLASSHOUSE is structured as a theatrical performance, narrated by the director and assisted by the chorus. Seen from a spectator, all stories seem small and insignificant— like a house in a glass ball.
The trailer was created in collaboration with professional voice actors Stefanie Joosten, Ryan Cooper, and Andy Mack. As GLASSHOUSE is an independent project developed at zero cost, it does not promise full voice acting in its final version. Their presence in the trailer should be seen as an endorsement of the project, aimed at generating interest and securing the funding needed to provide full voice acting support.
