Depends, are there any .rpy files inside the /apartment-v0-3-1/game/ folder? Or are there only .rpa containers?
If you see a gui.rpy open it with a text editor and change these values:

# this is for the text size down in the textbox:
Code:
define gui.text_size = number
#this is for the text size in the choice menu buttons:
Code:
define gui.choice_text_size = number
# this is for the text color down in the textbox:
Code:
define gui.text_color = '#404040'
# number being the size you want them to be
# look for text_color =
# because the #404040 won't be the color he uses :D

If those lines aren't anywhere inside the gui.rpy then you can just create them wherever inside the file.

But if there are only .rpa file containers you'll have to search for unren.bat in this forum and read up on how to use it to extract the .rpy files (or .rpyc files which then need an additional step to be decrypted to .rpy files)

Those are ren'py engine files. So it would be better to leave them alone if you don't know what you're doing :D Like I said, look for the unren.bat in the forum ( ) , it's a nice little tool that extracts those archive.rpa files and can decrypt .rpyc files to .rpy files :) If you did that you can easily follow the steps above again :)
There are other ways to do it though, I could create a file for you that you'd just have to place inside the /game/ folder and edit the mentioned numbers to your preferred size...
I added the file to this post... you could even change the fonts if you wanted to... well the file is just a copy of our own gui.rpy or better said of that specific parts of it. everything with a "#" <--- infront of it is a comment, I commented out the fonts so that they don't get changed, if you'd want to change them to a font you have as a .ttf file just place the font into the /game/ folder and delete the # infront of the specific font you want to change, then place the name of the .ttf file behind the "=" sign looking like this then:

Code:
## The font used for in-game text.
    #gui.text_font = "fontFile.ttf"
to
Code:
## The font used for in-game text.
    gui.text_font = "MyCoolFontFile.ttf"

p.S.: Once setup this file can be used in any ren'py game.
