Others - Completed - Apartment Story [Final] [pH Studio]

This game is a very good execution on the blackmail and sleep fetishes. The animations are okay, but theres much variety and criativity in them. The moaning sounds are pretty good. Altough it has a little bit of grind, which i dont like, in general the puzzles to unlock the scenes are good. It could have had a final ending. This game was very appealing to me.

It isn´t good.

The story is boring.

Sex scenes meh.

Pixel art only okay.

Music generic.

The gameplay and controls are both terrible no fun at all.

The characters are also very boring.

I wouldn´t recommend it.

Gameplay:
+ Front perspective, where you can see all floors of the building
+ You get paid to shoot videos of you having sex with the female tenants, by blackmailing them first as a starter, then building up relationship points to unlock more scenes/positions
+ Fast forward time to speed up gameplay.
+/- Not too challenging. You can beat the game without trouble. But you need to find a way to the first blackmailings of each tenant, but the guy who pays you gives tips. Wouldn't have hurt if the game was a little bit more challenging.
- Up/down and side scrolling feels a bit inconvenient, since you need to pull screen by keeping LMB pressed instead of scrolling by reaching the corners/edges of the game-screen.

Frequency of scenes:
+ You get scenes very fast and alot.

DIalogues:
+ Barely text, just each tenant's final CG has dialogues. This is good, since gameplay-wise this is more about management and interaction graphic-wise, and not about being a VN

--> All in one: The game is not that hard and easy to understand. It is based on grinding, but it rewards you with different scenes. The game-length is decent and not stretched, thus, the grinding is justified and pleasent. This game has a good grind-reward balance, is easy to understand, is not long enough to get boring and for everyone loving pixel art, it is fun. 6 of 10.

Should I give it a try?
Yes, if you liked the screenshots and the game description. The game is simple. But at the same time, the grind-reward balance and game length are surprisingly very balanced. I actually expected a grind-hell with such small games. But it was fun and a good way to pass time.

Played the final version

I can't really recommend playing this game as I encountered a game breaking bug that stopped any progress, on top of boring gameplay, some key stats being untranslated, and subpar h-content. Really not worth any amount of time

Honestly, whatever. Just download a full save.

The sprite-work is good, the story is whack (more on this in just a sec), the CGs are meh, and the grind is only ignored because it's a short game anyways.

I literally thought I did something wrong because you have one interaction with another dude who says, "Huh... hot ladies in this place. You're the manager? If you fuck one and take pics I'll pay you!" This makes our brilliant MC go "You know, you're right!"

No problems with that... but then the only way to progress in the story is to straight up rape a married woman... Don't get me wrong, I've played plenty of games on here that have rape (I'm a degenerate just like you), I just literally thought I had accidentally stumbled upon the dark path.

Once you get through that, it's pretty samey. Like I said, save yourself the time and just download a full save for the gallery.

Decent gameplay, it could be better if those messages you got to get the girl where somewhere else to read it again and try to get the last scene.

That aside good animations, sadly it's too short but enjoyable.

I would like to have more scenes at the very beginning and at the end or anytime corrputions progresses. That may lead this game up to 5 stars

A little buggy, but this is a overall a good game. The pixel scenes are nice, the puzzles are well balanced, I mean these are not so easy, but not hard either, which is great. The same isn't long and that's a plus for me. I would give this game 5 stars, but some bugs didn't let me finish this game completly

Apartment Story [Final] [pH Studio]
Short and bad game [several bugs, such as not being able to skip the next day (not always, it happened to me several times but only with the mother), at the beginning the game has some saving errors with the married woman].
Bad images, much better pixie scenes. Senseless premise, ok, it's an h-game, but it all happens because yes.
I don't recommend the game.

Comments
Eh.... for 1 hour fun or so... Concept was nice, but there wasn’t much of content. Feels like a test product type of game. If this game would have A LOOT more options, scenes and proper Cgi progression. Then it would be much higher quality and time worthy.
In a nutshell. Promising but lacking. I would rather recommend playing something else.
Total Score: 5/10

✅ Finished

Game experience could have been better since this one has potential. Translation is good it is a blessing but could be improved to be more pleasing to the reader.
Regarding the game itself, it was lackluster there are bugs here and there you could end up not triggering the hide in the bathroom dialogue since you can actually skip that and end up not being able to hide in the bathroom making you able to finish the first three woman but locked out from the last one. Fast forward may end up freezing the clock and etc and it is another game breaking bug. After 3 tries experimenting i finished the game in one hour and at least 5mins at day 30 in game. The CGs produced from each ending are good but lacking still the Gallery just shows the CGs it would be nice had the developers included the finished endings in the CGs for revisit purposes. Though there is a bug where you cant unlock one position in the gallery but you can view that if you play the game. Overall its a good one time gaming experience plus it is short so it is not much of a hassle if you are looking for a quick play. Translation could improve for better flavor but I will take this kind of translation any time of the day than those MTL *shudders*

Simple game with an interesting core gaming loop.

Had no problems unlocking everything, just follow the instructions mentioned in game and you'll get everything.

Short but lives up to expectations, mostly sprites with a CG for completing each girl.

Bug after bug after bug, either they crash the game or they completely make a save unusable. It keeps being a different one as well, from the time not wanting to progress, being in the sex select option screen without being able to select anything, being teleported while in a sex scene

It gotten to the point that I am not sure if I don't know what I am supposed to be doing, or if I'm failing because something glitched out again. Making it unplayable.

The game is definitely fun to play. It has only 4 CG pictures, all animated scenes are pixel animations and if you don't pay attention what they guy say, you have no way to get any information what you have to do next.
We need more guys like this, but maybe with a bit more content.
I find pixel animations are actually pretty good in this game, I hope the developer will make another game like this but bigger.

its good content, but ruined by underdevelopment. Dev really should have added dialog in the sex scenes at the very least, but as they are they're just sex gifs once you beat the game.

It has the core of a 5-star H game, but unfortunately the H content peaks without warning, and then plummets. If you haven't done the deed by or during the full screen H still images, its over lol.

The game is bad with little care put into it. I came across two game breaking bugs. In fact the first thing I did was break the game. I gave up playing normally after the game broke because the last tenet doesn't show up because the quest system broke.

It is one of these games where you can't play without a guide else nothing makes sense and you are lost. the scenes are ok but are not really build up so at best you get a sentence or two to set the scene and considering the small amount of scenes it is disappointing.

You better spend your time playing other games than bothering with this broken game.

There's not much to say, the game is very classic, for the story (there is one.), you are an asshole who has just moved and wants to take advantage of his neighbors, drugs, blackmail, rape and take women like meat. This is what the game is about.

It's not for me, but the game as nothing extraordinary or exellent, if you liked the game, it deserves between 3 or 4, not more.

Feels like a demo, but a really good one.

You become the landlord of an apartment complex, which seems to only attract beautiful women. The one other male resident, and self proclaimed porn director, accosts you on your first day and tells you to abuse your power. Luckily for us the landlord is very weak willed, so he immediately rapes a sleeping wife and it's all downhill from there.

I call this a demo because there are only 4 girls, the wife, the high school girl, the single mother, and the college student. Each one has their own mini-story to them, and a unique CG you can earn by breaking them to your will. The wife cucks her husband, the high schooler is a porn streamer, the single mother is a masturbation freak, and the college chick... well she doesn't do anything actually. You also unlock pixel art sex acts, each girl having 6 total. However while you can earn all in the main game, the college student's final unlock is bugged and will not be available in the gallery. But it's not that big a deal to just see it in the game.

There also some special stuff you can buy from the porn director, spy cameras to always be able to see in a room without peaking, sleeping pills to give the girls a creamy dream, aphrodisiacs to turn the girls into sex freaks, and viagra to boost your ability to fuck girls more in a single day.

There is a day and time mechanic, but it is really not used much beyond the girls will do specific things during the day. So don't stress when you first load up the game and see the clock ticking, it really doesn't matter.

Overall, wish there were more girls. I'm thinking an office worker type, a police woman, an American foreigner, a mother and daughter, and if you unlock them all and earn all their CG scenes then you get the penthouse where a rich bitch type moves in. Yeah.

This game is proof that you don't need insane graphics to make a good game, with only 4 CGs, this game is immersive enough for a good fap (admittedly, though, I didn't nut because this was too short).

Pros:

- good progression, rewarding sex scenes (somewhat)
- relatively short, direct and easy to understand
- english

Cons:

- sex sounds are repeated
- only 4 CGs
- for what it's worth, you might not want to play it for a fap

Summary: Just download it if you enjoy blackmail and rape games.

A decent nukige, the game is very interactive and there are many blackmail events to unlock for each character as you go.

The engine is pretty smooth and the pixel art and animation works really well with the implemented spy mechanics.
