A chilling Turkish urban legend comes to life in Apartment No 129, now available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 for £11.74.
This first-person psychological horror game casts players as Emir, a content creator drawn to a paranormal event that has haunted a building for years.
Every creaking floorboard, flickering light, and shadowed corridor tells a story – one that blends real-world mystery with supernatural terror.
The True Horror Behind the Apartment
In 2009, two young girls reportedly performed dark rituals in Apartment No 129. Residents claimed shattered windows, toppled furniture, and an overwhelming sense of dread – though no earthquake was officially recorded.
Over time, the building emptied, leaving only whispers of fear, strange smells, and sightings of unexplained entities. Apartment No 129 transforms this chilling real-life story into a tense, interactive horror experience where you must uncover the building’s secrets while surviving its unseen horrors.
Enter Emir’s Nightmare
As Emir, players navigate the abandoned apartment, piecing together clues from the tragic events of 2009 while confronting supernatural forces that lurk in every corridor. Read notes, solve puzzles, and face grotesque entities as you explore the eerie building.
Your choices influence multiple endings, making each playthrough a unique journey through fear, suspense, and mystery.
The game’s screenplay, written by professional cinema director and screenwriter Batuhan Gündüz, brings cinematic tension to every moment. The first-person perspective heightens the dread, with atmospheric sound design, unsettling visuals, and terrifying encounters immersing you fully in the apartment’s haunted past.
Apartment No 129 balances exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat to create a psychological horror experience that lingers long after the console is turned off.
