About
It’s 1996 and it's raining. Your first apartment, your first quiet night away on your own. Soon after unpacking your first box, finding what your siblings packed away for you, arranging your cassette tapes, and hanging up your favourite denim jacket you accidentally crack open the back of your wardrobe, revealing a portal into your neighbours lives. Interacting and solving puzzles with their personal belongings, you begin to learn who they are, what their lives are like, and how through the lens of loneliness, you can feel connected.
Korter 1996 is an exploration of loneliness in a point and click adventure game. You can organise and decorate your new apartment and go on expeditions to other people's homes to find more items. While exploring different apartments on the block, you get to solve puzzles that will lead you to more information on each of the inhabitants. How you interact with the items in their apartments will move forward their story and through item dialogues you get to know about their lives.

Korter is a game about that unique sense of wonder, you feel when staring at faceless apartment blocks at night. I don't know how, but it somehow manages to capture that daydream-like feeling perfectly. The vibes are very cozy and comfortable. You can just stop and sit around at any time in the game and listen to the rain. The story is fairly uncomplicated and gets revealed from the environment and through little snippets, that you discover during play. I really enjoyed my time in Korter and I think you will too :)
Lovely, satisfying and surprising little game, I had a lot of fun with it <333
Very cute short game! Been looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint. Enjoyed the game a lot! If you like Unpacking, this game is similar with a mystery twist and a 90s aesthetic that i personally found very cool and fun! It also played very well on Steam Deck, I had no problems at all on my playthrough. Thanks for a great game 🙌🏼
Lots of fun unravelling the mysteries of this point and click game. Great art style and very chill gameplay that leaves you curious to explore more. Enjoyed finding the shiny stickers. [strike]No achievement for spam clicking the coffee cup though...[/strike] slurp
It's sort-of fun most of the time, but the story feels undeveloped. There's no satisfying conclusion, and your collection of objects never feels quite full. There's a lot of empty space left at the end of the game. I enjoyed filling out the catalogue and exploring each new apartment. I would've liked to see our main character make some sort of connection or friend. Being able to put up more posters would be nice as well. Cute art style (not enough objects) with some fun organising mechanics. A few sections had progression requirements that left me completely stuck and had to look up a guide. I took my time to enjoy this game and runtime came to about 3 hours. It was okay, but I find it hard to say I'd recommend it to a friend. I'd be interested in future games from these developers.
Played this on my first day of moving into a new apart. Can confirm experiencing similar strangeness! Just a nice slice of feels tbh.
Heartfelt cozy and haunting and dread-inducing at the same time :) Recommended if you like feeling things!!
get this if: you like nostalgic things you like pixel art you enjoyed the demo you like organizing games
What a lovely little thing this was! Focused on what it wanted to do with its personalities and light-but-engaging puzzles. I never got stuck but it wasn't so brainless I didn't have to think and pay attention either. I like the specificity of place and time; it felt both familiar and unfamiliar. In contrast to other games about arranging and collecting I've played, I like how it mixed the sweet [i]and[/i] the sinister. The ending is brief but a provides a gentle little "aha!" moment
Super cozy and relaxing. Really amazing art direction and overall aesthetic.
