Our take on The New Apartment
Players looking for substantial progression will hit the main wall when the 10-to-20-minute story ends. Those sensitive to flickering lights may also need to stop before entering the apartment’s unsettling scenes.
What is The New Apartment?
The New Apartment is a short, first-person horror game set in a small apartment.
The player follows an ordinary evening routine, including washing dishes, brushing teeth, and closing curtains, while noticing unsettling details in the residence. Puzzle elements and story scenes gradually reveal what is happening inside the suspiciously cheap complex. The game is singleplayer, standalone, and requires no prior knowledge. A complete playthrough lasts 10 to 20 minutes. Frightening scenes are present, with little to no jumpscares, while flickering lights may be unsuitable for people with epilepsy. The setting is rural Vermont, where the protagonist lives alone and has work early the next morning.
