\"Apartment<\/a><\/p>\n

Glasgow-based Blue Rider Interactive announced today that its feature-length, dramatic third-person thriller Apartment Story<\/em> is now available for PC.<\/p>\n

Apartment Story<\/em>\u00a0is a fast-paced, single-player narrative experience about three people and a gun, set within a single apartment. It contrasts the mundanity of modern living with taut and sharp storytelling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>About:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Arthur is a 27-year-old just trying to stay afloat. One day his mundane life takes a turn when his former roommate Diane shows up at his door. She stays a while and together they party, but soon Blondey enters the picture and the good times soon go bad.<\/p>\n

Over a few days in a single apartment, players must help Arthur navigate escalating narrative events and his interpersonal relationships. This must be done while maintaining his via an immersive, sim-lite management system. This is all brought to life via a highly detailed, atmospheric, yet grounded PS2-style aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Apartment Story<\/em> allows players to express their own personality through gameplay choices made in the downtime between its narrative beats. Will they choose to participate in a dangerous and dramatic narrative? Or will they keep the front door closed, eating and procrastinating until they\u2019ve shut the world out for good? Whatever they decide, the cold steel of a handgun lies hidden somewhere within the darkness of the apartment.<\/p>\n
