Our take on The Berlin Apartment
The episode structure trades mechanical consistency for variety: each story can introduce a different genre, mood, and gameplay approach, but players seeking one steadily developing system may find the experience fragmented.
What is The Berlin Apartment?
Dilara helps her father Malik renovate an old apartment in Berlin.
During the work, she finds objects and other traces connected to people who lived there before. Malik explains the stories behind these discoveries, revealing episodes set across a century of the apartment’s history.
