A release trailer for an interesting game called The Berlin Apartment.
It's a first-person narrative-driven game developed by btf. Players will see the evolution of different renters of a specific Berlin apartment over the course of 120 years.

Added to my wish-list. I don't think I've encountered a game quite like this and that intrigues me.

I'd forgotten about this game until I saw that it has a surprisingly near release date.
The 4th of December!
I've wish-listed it based on the Alien Isolation vibes alone, but I still want to wait for reviews before I buy it. I'm not looking for perfection (that way leads to frustration and a very disappointing life) so I can take some flaws. It's atmosphere I'm after.

What do you look for in a game?

I read this one this morning. Whatever Rockstar says, this looks like a smoking gun. There is no way that all of the people who just happen to be wanting to join or start a union on the same discord channel get fired for "gross misconduct". That's stretching my suspension of disbelief a little to far.
Rockstar seem to have grown too big for their boots and believe they can do what they want and this is one battle I hope they lose. As much as I love (most of) their games, sacking people because they… See More

This sorta thing doesn't surprise me at this point. R* has become one of the things they like to mock in their games.

Funny how the video game industry hasn't caught on yet that in 90% of jurisdictions out there, that kind of "union busting" is actually illegal.

Ah yes the typical American company, always trying to stop unions from starting.

I never thought I'd be excited about 'another' Halo:CE remaster, but this one is pretty much a remake (keeping it as close to the original of course) with some added stuff that actually sounds like it'll expand upon the fun. Plus, the work that has gone into the visuals shows and the added prequel content sounds so cool.
It's coming next year.
