Why play it

The Berlin Apartment is a 2025 Adventure, Indie game rated 9.0/10 from 442 ratings, with a main story of about 3h, available on PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S.

The Berlin Apartment tells the moving stories of inhabitants of an apartment in the city of Berlin over the last 120 years in several unique, emotional episodes as a character-driven adventure game.

Story and worldbuilding

A handyman is tasked with refurbishing an old apartment in the city of Berlin, Germany. In the course of his extensive renovation work, he digs deeper and deeper into the history of the apartment. Relics from past times turn out to be silent witnesses – and former companions – of the apartment's previous inhabitants. With each new find, he tells his daughter the story behind this trace of a past adventure—with its own protagonists, in its own genre, with a very different atmosphere, but always set in the same four walls.

Este es un de esos juegos que no solo te hace reflexionar sobre las historias y vivencias que otras personas ha podido dejar para ti, escondidas dentro de algún objeto sin importancia, si no de las que tu mismo vas a dejar escritas, impregnadas en el lugar donde vives y que quizás, algún día, con algo de suerte, otros puedan encontrar algo que les ayuda a revivirlas.

Beyond aggravating launch-window bugs (on Xbox) that need to be fumigated, The Berlin Apartment is an underwhelming living space managed by a greedy landlord.

The Berlin Apartment tells its story beautifully through the eyes of many different narrators. There are plenty of opportunities to replay chapters if you’re going for for the platinum like I will be. For the slight bugs and graphics issues, I have to give the game the Thumb Culture Gold Award. Once these issues are fixed, I could easily bump this up to a platinum game.

The Berlin Apartment is a short but powerful indie experience that uses atmosphere, storytelling, and a unique presentation to vividly capture a century of Berlin’s history.

The Berlin Apartment is not an anthology. It is not a collection of stories. It is a single story told by those who remain. By those who silently observe every departure and every return. And that someone is us. The game doesn't put us in the protagonists' shoes. It puts us in the shoes of the home they inhabit, carrying the full weight of a century of history.

The many lives of the same space through five stories in an apartment in the German capital. A set of stories full of hope, despite happening in unhopeful times.

An interesting and personal feeling set of first person histories that barely constitute a video game and yet wouldn’t really work in any other medium.

The Berlin Apartment is a charming journey into German history through four well-written stories that manage to leave a strong impression.

Minimalist yet poignant, The Berlin Apartment offers a handful of narrative vignettes allowing players to experience the tumultuous history of Germany across the decades. Though brief, its stories pack an emotional punch that won't be forgotten.
