The Berlin Apartment is a character-driven adventure game developed by Blue Backpack, released in 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game follows Dilara and her father Malik, a handyman hired to renovate an aging apartment in Berlin. As the renovation unfolds, Dilara uncovers relics left behind by the building's previous occupants, and Malik uses each discovery as a springboard to recount the lives of those who once lived there. These accounts span roughly 120 years of Berlin's history and are presented as distinct episodic stories, each with its own protagonists, tone, genre, and gameplay mechanics. The overarching setting — the same four walls — remains constant across all episodes, grounding the anthology in a single physical space. Visually, the game uses detailed 3D environments rendered in a colorful comic-book aesthetic to bring both the apartment and the broader city to life across different historical periods.
Dilara joins her father Malik, a handyman tasked with refurbishing an old apartment in the city of Berlin, Germany. In the course of their extensive renovation work, Dilara digs deeper and deeper into the history of the apartment. Relics from past times turn out to be silent witnesses and former companions of the apartment's previous inhabitants. With each new find, Malik tells his daughter the story behind this trace of a past adventure – with its own protagonists, its own genre, and its own atmosphere, yet always set within the same four walls.
