Hi all!
I'm the lead gameplay designer and engineer on the indie narrative adventure game, a•part•ment. We're huge fans of narrative-driven and adventure games (my GOG library is pretty extensive) and I thought my fellow GOG denizens would appreciate our game. :)
<span class="bold">tl;dr – Here's a Let's Play video</span> of a•part•ment by the Kinda Funny guys. They play through a small portion of the game with some pretty great commentary.
You can find <span class="bold">a demo of the game</span> here if you'd like to try it!
In a•part•ment you play as Nick Connor, a comic artist who was just dumped by his girlfriend of four years, Madison. You also get to enter the lives of the neighbors in his apartment complex, where you experience and understand their own struggles through specially crafted gameplay and story vignettes.
We wanted to make something that appeals to adults – gamers and non-gamers alike – and offers something different and interesting. The game is about more complex, intimate emotions that you don't typically see in computer games.
Yes, we've had a number of grown men and women cry while playing a•part•ment. We wear it like a badge of honor. :)
I'd really appreciate if you'd check out our <span class="bold">Kickstarter campaign</span>. We'd love if you could share it with people who might be interested in our game!
I'd be happy to talk more about a•part•ment, our design philosophy and development process, and also get any thoughts you have about it.
Thanks so much!
