The Apartment

I purchased this game not knowing what to expect. After about an hour and completing the first level, I found this to bring a lot of investigative elements to this psychological thriller. You play James Sachs, and you are investigating 2 murders when things start messing with your head. You go through the game finding clues, putting 2 and 2 together, and solving some complex puzzles. It is a short game, around 5 hours, but there is a lot to the story and you will not get bored. +Pros Good Graphics Interesting detective/investigating point and click element A story where you want to know what happens next, and can't stop playing even after you do. -I threw a beer bottle at the window because I was searching for the next step, it did not shatter. Made me want a beer. +Cons Really only one at the moment, the movement seems a bit laggy in response time, especially the sprint. Definiterly worth the 10 dollars (now 8.99 until Feb 2nd). 9/10 - Would throw beer bottles at the window again to enhance my creative juices I made a part 1 video, you can check out the gameplay. Nicely done dev. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVS8o3UdhNk

This game had really good potential to be awesome detective-like game. Sadly, there was too many issues i ran into that made it less horror like and more fustrating. Pros - + Level Transition is really awesome, going from The Apartment to a nightmare type scenario was always cool + Investigation of seeing what information goes together can be a really nice brain challenge Cons - - It Controls really terribly, it feels like im walking sideways sometimes - Some parts of a level can be really laggy, no idea why though - Later Levels can be really painful, because not everything is straight forward - Crime Scenes can be a drag because there could be evidence that would be hiding in the most obscure spot and it doesnt highlight straight away, making it seem like there isn't anything thier - No checkpoints in any level, so if you die/make a wrong choice in a level, you are brought back to the very start of that level I got stuck at the warehouse crime scene, I found everything up to the Bodybag, checked every nook and cranny, nothing was to be found

This game has such a nice idea that is just ruined by a convoluted system. Trying to find every bit of detail in the murders is so difficult thats its frustrating, sometimes you will just be walking back and forth trying to find the thing for it to be pretty much invisible next to you unless you know to look for it. an example of this is the "drugs" during the hanging lady case.

Детективная история от первого лица, в которой вам нужно будет раследовать убийства нескольких девушек. Игра в стиле "догадайся сам", но и здесь есть несколько "но". Во впервых дргадываться нужно с осторожностью, так как при неправильном решении вам придется начинать главу сначала. Во вторых, все головоломки запутаны и сложные, а подсказки к ним идут в текстовых и голосовых сообщениях, и так как в игре только английский язык, то для игры обязательно знание английского. Технически и визуально игра сделана красиво, локации графически смотрятся добротно, есть разнообразие, но (здесь то же есть свое "но"), для запуска данного продукта нужен комп с "хорошими" мозгами, иначе глюки и зависания, плюс долгая загрузка вам обеспечена. Если над игрой не много поработать в плане оптимизации, добавить больше локализаций, то получится достойная детиктивная, хардкорная история, ну а на данный момент игра тянет на твердую троечку :) Еще вы можете посмотреть обзоры на другие игры: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/25737869/ Так же подписывайтесь на нашу группу с халявными раздачами: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/freeekeys

This game is very buggy and frustrating. Play at your own risk. I've had to restart the game several times because things don't trigger. Good story, but hard to really enjoy it. (btw I'm currently stuck in the dungeon where you pull the lever, and the lever won't pull.) EDIT: I got the lever to work and was finally able to finish the game. SPOILERS: The end turns into an FPS and its crazy hard, and the part with the sniper is the worst... you'll see why.

START ALL OVER EVERY WRONG CLICK!!!

游戏表面看起来粗糙。不过里面惊喜不少。一方面进行调查。一方面恐怖气氛不错。喜欢调查或恐怖游戏的。还是可以试一试。不过就是里面的调查需要很细心。

Can no longer recommed this game. Really good idea, unfortuantly there seems to be almost no QA on this game. Physics are mental, trying to read things is a pain. Trying to rotate things is a pain. Trying to jump on a lamp is impossible. Finding the hidden object unless you accidently see it on the warehouse mission is impossible. Audio when using headphones is crazy, tries to do 5.1 on stereo headphones so unless you are staring at the person talking its almost silent. Watch someone play the game instead on youtube and save your brass.

Game-breaking bug right at the beginning making it impossible to progress for me. Refunding, don't want to support the developer. I understand that making indie games alone or with a small team is very, very hard, but we live in a time of game market extreme oversaturation. More good games are coming out than I'm physically able to play, so wasting time on such poorly written/optimized games such as The Apartment is simply pointless. Supporting such developers means they will create more of those pointless games, which will leave less time for good games. I give this game 1 game-breaking bug out of 10. Please don't buy it and don't support the developer.

Encountered a game breaking bug tied to the auto save system. Behaves like checkpoints. Saves after each segment of an investigation concludes. For me it created a sequence break at the hanging corpse crime scene. Followed by a hard softlock, after I returned to the game mid investigation. Restarting the level doesn't do what it is supposed to, instead loads the last auto save. *Sigh* To resume playing I'd need to delete all my save files manually from the corresponding steam directory. Might return to this, might not... Try the demo first. It is a good vertical slice I believe. The Apartment was pretty ambitious for it's time and place in indie history.
