Appearance

The map appears to be a sparsely tree-filled forest, with two mountains located at the side of the map with a red glass building on each mountain. Both mountains are connected via a red glass bridge. The left mountain (the smaller one) has a staircase leading up to a ridge. The ridge is surrounded by a fence, with a narrow segment being absent for quick escapes. The right mountain, unlike the left, is hollow, allowing players to enter the mountain. Inside are several short walls and a staircase leading up to a small ledge with an open fence. The rest of the map mostly consists of trees, rocks and walls, with a few other small landmarks. Directly opposite the two mountains is a smaller glass building that can be entered but cannot be climbed. Near a corner is a L-shaped concrete structure with a staircase leading up and a gap in the fence on top. In the middle of the map is a weird pillar with what appears to be a jail cell on top. On the other side of the smaller mountain is a series of walls that provide cover.

Strategy

There is very little cover for Survivors to hide behind as the map is very wide open, so it is advised to Survivors to either camp both mountains or the L-shaped concrete structure. This is extremely useful if the killer is Noli and you are looping at the right mountain, as Nova is almost rendered useless due to the large walls. The glass bridge pillars might make for a good juking spot. The left mountain ridge allows Survivors to climb onto the mountain parts surrounding the staircase leading up, making it a good alternative to the fence opening to avoid Killers who have no ranged abilities / cannot aim upwards like 1x1x1x1 or Slasher. While it was nerfed with the map changes, the arguably best loop on this map is still the L-shaped structure on the opposite side of the map of the small mountain due to the good visibility on the killer and the option of switching to another loop. As John Doe, Digital Footprint should be placed on the doorways into the right mountain, the left mountain staircase, or the staircase on the L-shaped structure. As 1x1x1x1, try to bait Survivors into leaving points of elevation because you can't aim upwards. You can also use one mountain to hit another one. As c00lkidd, If you close distance with a Survivor and they run up the stairs to the small mountain, you can use Walkspeed Override as there's no way for the Survivor to go in a narrow space. As Slasher, try not to get juked in the small cliff on the small mountain as the Survivor can use this to their advantage and time waste.

Patch history

Despite being named, most of the themselves are actually inaccessible. The only one that is truly accessible is the blue glass intersection found on the ground floor of the map. All of the red houses are inaccessible, due to one doorway being boarded up and the other filled with rubble. Items used to not spawn on this map. Interestingly, about half of the actual map is missing in this interpretation, being that there are no blue on top of any mountains to go along with the red ones, and the spire supporting the cage in the center is much shorter than it should be. This is most likely to keep the map on a similar scale to the other playable maps, such as Planet Voss or Yorick's Resting Place. There is a different version of this map, named Glass Houses Old. It can only be accessed via the Command Panel, available to Developers at all times, and used to be available in a private server. Glass Houses Old can be identified as an older version of the map, and comes with a few changes, such as a hole in the tunnel branching from the blue glass house, the red glass house on the ground floor of the map having its window shattered, and there are several barrels with firewood in them, permanently burning. Glass Houses Old is also on a much larger scale compared to FORSAKEN's current map style, with very high mountains that by all means would be easily camped, due to the map's open nature. Unlike it's released counterpart, Glass Houses Old has all of the cannons removed, along with the green buttons that would've fired them.
