Buy Apartment: A Separated Place PC key

Apartment: A Separated Place is a story-driven game about Nick Connor, whose girlfriend of four years, Madison, has just left him. In the apartment they once shared, you follow Nick as he revisits their relationship, from how they met through its milestones to their breakup, while he seeks consolation.

Nick and Madison

The game explores Nick’s state of mind as he picks through the aftermath of the relationship. Its interactive story uses play to tell the characters’ stories rather than give you power over them. Different sections use different mechanics: some let you actively build the story, while others reveal it through the environment as you progress.

The neighbors

You can leave Nick’s apartment and visit his neighbors: a displaced loner, a lost daughter, a grieving widow and an uncertain newlywed. Their stories appear in interactive vignettes, each with mechanics designed to convey their struggles. You step into their shoes, experience some of their emotional turmoil and learn how they relate to important people in their lives.

Text and reading

Text is central to the game, which uses it as a main part of the experience rather than something to skip. A playthrough takes about 2–2.5 hours, or less if you move quickly.
