• Recommended Posted November 17, 2025 on Steam If you like chill games this is a game for you! It's a bit on the short side for the pricing (played about 5 hours and took my time) but still a wholesome and entertaining! You can really feel the passion put into the game.
• Recommended Posted January 15, 2026 on Steam The story has this wholesome, almost childlike moments throughout the game that I genuinely liked. That said, it’s REALLY short. You can 100% it in under 4 hours, so I’d only recommend picking it up on sale. The controls don’t feel very smooth. Also, for a German game, it’s surprisingly unpolished? there are spelling errors, and some book titles straight up change into different books when you click “read” (Might be a bug when selecting English text with German dubbing?) which is weird. Overall, nice vibes and a sweet story, just too short and rough around the edges to be worth full price.
• Recommended Posted November 17, 2025 on Steam [b]Nice story, but WAIT FOR SALE[/b] The game is nice, charming, at times even thoughtful in its story. The gameplay is nothing too spectacular. The occasional good idea or two, but it would spoil the story, if I mentioned them. You can finish the game in 3 hours. I guess it will take 4 to 5 if you go achievement hunting. But it's just not worth 24,50 €. Even 20 seems like a stretch. I'd say 18€ maybe. If it's on sale for 15 or less, it's an okay deal.
• Recommended Posted November 17, 2025 on Steam Great Storygame, sad and funny, melted my heart!! German Syncro is insanely good! It has some smaller bugs, but none are gamebreaking right now. I also like the political and philosophical tone of all the storys. Thanks for making this piece of art <3
• Recommended Posted January 20, 2026 on Steam Not a bad game. The handholding in this game is VERY annoying and made me stop playing several times. The most annoying part is the kid constantly babbling in the background. If you stop to look around for a second, the kid immediately starts babbling to his father about what he's supposed to be doing. For example, I've got the game minimized as I'm writing this. Every few seconds, the kid repeats, "hammer the tiles and find the screwdriver," over and over and over. There's no way to stop it. If I move around, he immediately asks his dad what he's supposed to be doing. He's either a very dumb kid or mentally challenged. Unless this is a game for kids, there's absolutely no need for the game to constantly remind the player what to do! The nature of an adventure game is exploration! But this game won't allow you to do it without needling you about the current task. It got very very annoying very quickly.
• Recommended Posted November 19, 2025 on Steam I absolutely adored The Berlin Apartment, a deeply moving game that had me crying during the credits. The story of Berlin in the 20th century is a complex and delicate one that really needs to be told with care to do it justice, and this game really nails it. I could feel the thoughtfulness that went into choosing every scenario and each person's story. Having played the demo during Next Fest, the full product absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. Highly, highly recommend this one for anyone who appreciates evocative, subtle storytelling in games.
