Developed by German studio bildundtonfabrik (btf) and published by PARCO Games, this character-driven title takes players through a century of stories, all tied to one historic apartment in Berlin. Each episode introduces new protagonists, genres, and atmospheres, but the apartment itself remains the central stage.


The game begins with a handyman tasked with renovating the building during the COVID era. Balancing his work with homeschooling his daughter, he uncovers relics that reveal the lives of past residents. These artifacts become gateways to personal tales of joy, hardship, and resilience. As you explore, you’ll experience the dreams and dangers of those who once lived within its walls, making the apartment feel alive with memory.


Gameplay focuses on exploration and light puzzle-solving rather than combat. You’ll interact with objects to trigger flashbacks, solve era-specific challenges like WWII rationing puzzles, and make narrative choices that shape outcomes. Each episode offers unique gameplay twists, ensuring variety across the 4–6 hour runtime.


Visually, The Berlin Apartment adopts a colorful comic-book aesthetic, bringing Berlin’s turbulent history to life in a refreshing style. According to previews at Gamescom 2025, the game was praised for its heartfelt tone and intimate storytelling. QuestDaily scored it 9/10, calling it “a quiet game that does a lot with small moments,” highlighting how its stories linger long after the credits roll. Gamingbible scored it 7/10, calling it "Heartfelt story, beautifully presented, some fun gameplay elements, despite repetitive and tedious in parts."


The game was also nominated for the most anticipated game of 2025 at the DevGAMM Awards in 2025.
