Before I finally decided to write this review, I was honestly very torn about whether I should even bother writing one. Partly because The Berlin Apartment is yet another one of those games that kinda took more from me than I got out of it, and once again made me wish Steam had a neutral rating option. So to me, this is simply a middle thumb. The idea of telling several small stories through a single Berlin apartment while it is being renovated, with each story taking place in a different period of time and being shaped by the historical circumstances of that era, is a good one. Unfortunately, a lot of the game's potential was left unused here. The individual stories could have used much more depth and development. Unfortunately, the emotional impact was rather lacking and I really wish the game had drawn me in more. That's why I feel almost forced to give the game a thumbs up, despite the fact that there were many things I didn't like about it. Besides the rather mediocre sound design and soundtrack, which also affects the voice acting in some parts, the heavy handholding and the very limited amount of freedom the game gives you, there are also some annoying bugs and several major issues that should have been fixed a long time ago. While playing as a child at the beginning of the game, I tear down the wallpaper and the child suddenly asks: "What am I supposed to do again?" The father then replies: "Tear down the wallpaper." I still continue tearing down the wallpaper only for the child to say: "I don't know what I am supposed to do." And the father again says: "Help me with the wallpaper..." Besides texture issues and occasional moments where the game pushes you out of a dialogue or gameplay sequence far too abruptly, there are also some really obvious mistakes. For example, later in the game, when we are an old man and take out a book by Franz Kafka, the voiceover starts talking about Plutonia by Vladimir Obruchev instead. (Screenshot) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3772335656 In the end, you get a cup of blue coffee for around 4 hours of gameplay at a price of 25 bucks. Seriously? The historical references are interesting and visually, the game actually has a lot to offer. However, I can only recommend it to people who enjoy this kind of experience and are looking for something more slow-paced. And to be absolutely clear: only buy it during a sale. I would also strongly recommend trying out the demo beforehand.

I liked it until 1967. Look the first story is quite cute. the 1989 is very nice, and the jewish characters is a very nice touch. It has a lot of genuine work put in it, and the german voice actors do a wonderful job. the various stories however are... not connected to a central theme - at least not any insofar I could see. hell 1967 throws away the transformation of the apartment I thought the story was building to. Maybe it's still meant to be a survival, adaption and transformation story of both the characters and the building. But I could not finish this game. 1967 was really. Really annoying. It's far longer than any other of the stories, and quite frankly 1933 drags itself out quite a bit. While I adored the character, it falls off. I'm going to recommend the game, mostly due to the jewish representation and the clear heart that went into it, but If anyone is reading this = buy it on sale, you might end up like me. Annoyed and unfinished with the game in 1967. Interrupted and frustrated with a story you lost any interest in.

This game is more like an interactive graphic novel filled with exciting stories. The present day location serves as a sort of hub that you keep returning to, from which you set off on various stories set at different times in Germany’s 20th-century past - in the same apartment. It’s a short (about 3 hours), highly entertaining game with a great art style and a pleasant soundtrack. I was so impressed by the game that I immediately started another one from the same developer studio!

It's a really good game. Only wish it was a little longer. The voice acting is absolutely wonderful, and the German dialogue in particular feels special. From the first lines of dialogue, I knew I was in for an emotional rollercoaster. Episode 1945 may have been the shortest, but it left the strongest mark on me. It’s one of those moments that lingers quietly in your mind long after it’s over. Surprisingly, Episode 1967 turned out to be very enjoyable, despite feeling out of place at first. I could really feel the characters’ frustration, and even started craving that cup of coffee alongside her. Overall, it’s a simple game—but in the best possible way—with a rich, well-written story. I’d be excited to experience another game like this from the Developers.

Not a bad game. The handholding in this game is VERY annoying and made me stop playing several times. The most annoying part is the kid constantly babbling in the background. If you stop to look around for a second, the kid immediately starts babbling to his father about what he's supposed to be doing. For example, I've got the game minimized as I'm writing this. Every few seconds, the kid repeats, "hammer the tiles and find the screwdriver," over and over and over. There's no way to stop it. If I move around, he immediately asks his dad what he's supposed to be doing. He's either a very dumb kid or mentally challenged. Unless this is a game for kids, there's absolutely no need for the game to constantly remind the player what to do! The nature of an adventure game is exploration! But this game won't allow you to do it without needling you about the current task. It got very very annoying very quickly.
