Glasshouse · Beginner guide
Inspect rooms, prepare choices and resolve confrontations on your own terms.
Read blocked options as requirements
A locked choice may need an item, a prior narrative decision or a particular political configuration. Record what is missing instead of repeatedly selecting the same conversation.
Prepare for both kinds of confrontation
Weapons reduce Health; Talk approaches reduce Threat. Look for green weaknesses and avoid red doubts that double the opponent’s POV. Rotate approaches so unused dice recover.
Know when to end the fight
Force Surrender is available when your Threat exceeds the opponent’s. A successful roll ends the confrontation without violence. Check the option before spending another turn attacking.
Use storage and the workbench
Store spare supplies in a connected stash, then bring the ingredients for your chosen recipe to the crafting bench. Read collected documents in the Library; the Journal does not record every detail immediately.
