    The Berlin Apartment accomplishes a lot within its five-hour running time. It successfully takes you across four different decades, centred around an apartment that has stood at the cornerstone of German history. Berlin is undoubtedly the star of the show, and through the window frames, you realise just how much change and horror the city has gone through.

    If you ever wanted to learn more about the city of Berlin and its history or if you just want to enjoy a short but smart and emotional narrative game then you should look no further than The Berlin Apartment. While the gameplay is too simplistic and doesn’t really elevate the stories that are told it rarely gets in the way of enjoying the story of Berlin and the people that lived there during several times of human and political turmoil.

    A smart, sensitive walking simulator built around a real, evocative setting rendered with strong style. Josef, Kolja, and the others carry a focused 4–5 hour narrative that stays engaging despite minimal gameplay and limited interactivity. For players who value story-first experiences, it delivers concentrated narrative substance without distractions.
