The Future of Glasshouse


Hello flatmates,

on December 2nd, we removed the Concept Demo of Glasshouse from Steam.

Over the past 10 months, thousands of people have visited Apartment 28. We hit the milestone of 9K wishlists, were covered by over 20 international outlets, and made our mark on YouTube and Twitch. It’s been a marathon—but thanks to you, we existed, and there’s nothing more important than that.


The Concept Demo was designed to give a small glimpse into the characters, settings, and themes of Glasshouse through:

  • 3 hours of gameplay
  • A 67K-word script
  • The first iteration of the class system, the Political Compass
  • The first iteration of crafting and inventory management
  • The first iteration of the interaction tab with puzzles and QTEs
  • 5 characters
  • 2 scenarios
  • 3 endings

You’ve fought your roommates, smashed hundreds of chairs with axes, created fan art that warmed our hearts, and shared an incredible amount of feedback on Steam and Discord. But as announced nine months ago, we removed the Concept Demo from Steam, keeping it available only on our Itch page.

This ITCH page will remain available as a time capsule, so you can see how much has changed from this first trial to the final product.

This was a 2022 build, initially conceived as a vertical slice for publishers and later adapted for a broader audience to gather feedback, experiment, and fine-tune our production pipeline. Now, two years later, this build no longer represents the final product.

Glasshouse is in full production, more alive than ever, and will return in 2025 in a renewed form, with new announcements and reveals to share.

Thank you for your time, and see you soon!

Giacomo Montagnoli, Creative Director
