About Apartment 327
APARTMENT 327 is a first-person horror adventure whose main goal is to escape from the time loop you're stuck in. The story unfolds between 1923 and 2016 in an old house travelling through different time periods. The game plot is full of puzzles and the player can only solve them by time-travelling and visiting the same rooms in different time periods.
The house
The old Elizondo family home is full of mysteries and dangers. You will have to find out what happened in the house, and why you're stuck with no possibility of escaping.
Time-travelling
Traditional approaches become obsolete in Apartment 327. Regular puzzle solving techniques consist of what should I do and where should I do it. Here, we add the variable "when should I do it".
15 different time periods
The more you progress in the plot, the less linear the game becomes and the more time periods you can travel to.
Fragmented narrative
At first, nothing will make sense, but as you arrange the different pieces of the puzzle, you'll discover what happened to each character in the game.
Old films
Narrative increases by experiencing first-person films found around the house throughout the years. This may be the only way to escape. You will enter new locations and that will allow you to move forward in the story.
Powerful enemies
Your only choice facing those weird beings is fleeing. Check every room and walk through them stealthily. An unexpected encounter can lead to death.

Apartment 327 appears to offer a very promising plot and mixes elements of survival horror with puzzles solving, exploration and time-traveling. But I sadly have to admit that, as much as I enjoyed the demo, the main game is so hard that it is not for everyone. The survival aspect in the game is particularly difficult and not fun at all as it can only be achieved through trials and errors and the player's many deaths to figure out which path to take to escape the shadow monster or when to push the space key to kill the moving statues (if you can figure that out...). I wish the devs had offered some safe mode like in SOMA or at least an easy level of difficulty that would allow some unskilled player like me to explore through the game and enjoy the puzzles and storyline, because so far, I have been unable to live through the first wave of moving statues and move on with the game. It is really laughable how I always get killed in the same spot, but what can I say... I will wait to see if the devs are going to bring any more improvements to make the game easier to play because I really would like to be able to uncover the game story, but for now, the game is unplayable for me... :(24 found this helpful

Ran very well and was spooky. Loved most of the puzzles and story. I just started posting my LP of this game to my YouTube channel. Feel free to stop by any time, we'd love to see you all there. https://youtu.be/IYDpSRoLs-g
