Apartment Story is a feature-length, single-player, third-person thriller set in a single apartment. where you navigate escalating real-time narrative events whilst managing Sims-esq stats to stay strong for an inevitable showdown.

Players assume the role of Arthur, a 27-year-old just trying to keep his head above water, whose life takes a twist when he receives an unexpected visit from his former roommate, Diane. She stays a while and together they party, but soon Blondey enters the picture and the good times turn bad very quickly.

Over a few days, players must navigate escalating real-time narrative events and interpersonal relationships, while maintaining Arthur’s needs and welfare via an immersive, sim-esque management system - which is all brought to life via a highly-detailed, atmospheric, yet grounded PSX-style aesthetic.

Apartment Story gives players the opportunity to express their own personality through gameplay choices made in the downtime between its narrative beats. Will they choose to participate in a dangerous and dramatic narrative? Or will they keep the front door closed, eating and procrastinating until they’ve shut the world out for good?

Whatever they decide, the cold metal of a gun is hidden within the darkness of the apartment somewhere…
