Apartment 307

This game contains mature content such as nudity, lewd joked, and references to sexual activity, and physical and sexual violence.

For the best experience, it is recommended that you play either by downloading the GBC ROM or playing in-browser using Chrome. For optimum readability, DO NOT use fullscreen mode. Players using Microsoft Edge may experience issues with saving and various bugs not found in other versions.

For those unaware of itch.io's fullscreen mode quirk, after clicking the fullscreen button YOU MUST THEN CLICK THE WINDOW AGAIN in order to place focus back on the game itself, otherwise the following controls won't do anything. This is the case with most if not all of the browser versions of games here on Itch.io. Happy playing!

Apartment 307 is a Metroidvania about parasitic aliens hoping to infiltrate human society and failing miserably, although their failure isn't all good news for us...

Notes about this patch:

• Enemies not implemented in many of the areas, leading to a more exploration-heavy experience.
• Saving is fully implemented so you can leave this page and when you come back, selecting the 'Continue' option from the main menu should restore your gameplay
• The FEELINGS mechanic is implemented, causing the player's appearance to visibly deteriorate with subsequent deaths. This also triggers alternate dialogues when interacting with certain NPCs
• The map has been updated to reflect the actual layout of the world. More areas will come in a future update.
• The save functionality seems to be finicky with players using Microsoft Edge. It is recommended to play in Chrome.
• Lmk if you find any softlocks (falling down pits you can't escape, menus that won't close, etc.)

For future patches:

• More rooms
• Items that allow you to manually apply statuses to the player for enemy avoidance
• Greater amount of enemy placement
• Dream sequences to appear when sleeping.
• More in-depth questlines for Yellow and Eddamminn.
