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.

Such a fun and nice game to relax to with fun puzzles. The music especially helped me get into the vibes!
i should be tidying my own room but here we are. this game is very calming and looks and feels really cool. nice and nostalgic 90s vibes. very mysterious and ominous story execution. recommended!
It’s a small game with stunning atmosphere and good soundtrack. Sometimes can be tricky to go through, so I was lost in the confusion of what to do next from time to time. What was frustrating about this game is the glitches. I had to start anew two times, because the save was broken and I couldn’t proceed with the game from it. Music in the ending glitched too and played non-stop, even when I was in the main menu already. [spoiler] What I can say about the plot is that it’s too short to understand what was going on and some questions were left unanswered. I wish the game was longer. [/spoiler]
Pieza pequena e intimista sobre la soledad y la relación entre vecinos. Ambientada en un bloque de edificios en el año 1996, al mudarte irás descubriendo la vida del resto de habitantes del mismo. Intimista, nostálgico. Interactuarás clicando en los objetos y resolverás pequeños y sencillos puzzles que te harán conocer mejor a las personas que te rodean. No es para todo el mundo, definitivamente. Te recomiendo probar la demo si aun sigue disponible antes de decidirte a comprarlo.
The game design is interesting, but the puzzles are hard to figure out and not intuitive at all. I stopped halfway through because it was just too frustrating.
Great little game! Some of the puzzles were a bit obscure but nothing was impossible.
Wonderful artwork and a really engaging surreal atmosphere.
A fun little game with a nice mystery! Short and quite simple, but I loved the art style and atmosphere
Very nice when you need to slow down. I like that there's no rush.
You place and stack items like books, cassette tapes, plushies, cups, hang posters and the like, while gradually solving small puzzles in a mysterious connection with other homes in the apartment building. The game has a lonely but comfortable vibe with lots of heart, and shows a side of these types of buildings that you don't see from the outside. The emptiness of the apartment you move in, where there are many storage spaces and spots to be filled, really captures the feeling of moving out and discovering that your life is still ahead of you. You start out with what you take from home, but there is still so much space to fill. What will it look like?
