Apartment 502 discussion

Was pretty buggy for me, well, it was mostly repeating itself. Like when Rainn comes to the apartment and you choose between staying and hiding, one scenario happened then went back into the other one.
M and A still my picks, depending on how the Taner stuff play out C might be another contender.

Is there a bug choosing lori and jack at the club?

Bug on the Jack or Lori option. Even if you chose Lori you go with Jack

Is there a way the link on the first post can be updated to the new one?

Probably need to ask a Mod, as this is not the author’s thread. I’ll throw a note at Harris about it.

Thanks! I’ve edited the initial post with the correct link (though I don’t know the wordcount so have left that as is).

When you are at the club and it gives you options to see Lori from the lunch spot and Jack from the takeout spot, both options lead to Jack.

Yeah, the author is aware so it’ll hopefully get fixed with the next update she’s working on.

I normally don’t read this kinda stuff, but I liked how mysterious and ominous the lack of explanation text on the forum made me curious. So I looked at the thunderstorm outside and clicked on it hoping this would become the worlds most immersive creepy pasta. It wasn’t but there’s no going back now so onwards.

I wrote these as I blindly read the texts, so if I say something that’s corrected later my bad.

MC’s job takes up a significant portion of the story. The job is a vehicle for the plot. Logically, I will have to take creative liberties in order to support the plot/narrative. In other words, the jobs will not be a complete reflection of real life. This is still fiction. Please keep that in mind! :slight_smile:

Man someone must have put in aheckuva lawsuit… But I also like the smile, I don’t think I saw that in a HG before now, though I’m sure there’s some obvious one I’m missing.

Dear…

Grace.

Ryan.

Asher.

(Input first name.)

I know it’s not a huge deal, but it’d be good to have different name lists for men and women?

…bartender at The Vault.

…musician at The Vault.

…kindergarten teacher at Everglade Elementary.

…high school teacher at Everglade High School.

…anchor at Sunny Morning News Station.

…editor for Aston Publishers.

…artist for The Simpatico.

I like this jobs list

ā€œDarn it.ā€

As a former Scouting adventure guide and soon to be cabin counciler I’m more of a ā€œDang itā€ kinda guy myself but I do like that detail.

ā€œWell, my girlfriend is a lawyer,ā€ you gush when you grab your suitcase. ā€œVery successful.ā€ Wait there are three RO’s hare, and the MC already has one, oh no…

Athena.

For some reason, your brain collects the information and tucks it away. Who knows, maybe you’ll need it one day.

Man Rainn is gonna get the bad end of some really dark alley isn’t she…

Rainn txtd ne bak. @ bar wit frendz

You sigh. You make a mental note to remind Andi to text like a normal person.

Oh Andi atleast she won’t drink and drive? Well not a car anyways…

ABANDON HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE like you’re a main character in a horror movie and the bar is the final boss level to success or eternal doom.

Man this is how I felt seeing the forum post. This is truly immersive…

ā€œMy God you’re a Lawyer don’t you get trained for that?ā€

While I do like this scene and line, Shouldn’t God get filtered out in bad language? Into gosh or something? Not for MCs who do use foul language, but for the ones who don’t use it they probably wouldn’t.

ā€œI’ll figure it out,ā€ you bite out.

ā€œFredrickā€”ā€

ā€œDon’t,ā€ you snap and she blinks. ā€œI’m fine. Really.ā€ Are you convincing Rainn or yourself?

Aww poor Fredrick… I mean, he probably should have asked before moving in as love or not something that important shouldn’t be a surprise. Nonetheless, I do like the emotion.

Rainn’s response is immediate: ā€œNo.ā€

You nod, gazing away.

You can’t imagine this being your last conversation with Rainn. It can’t be. Not after so much time together.

Again poor Fredrick

Her eyes widen, and then you catch the unfamiliar flare of anger rise up on her face. ā€œNo. Why would you even ask that?ā€

You shrug. ā€œI just had to know.ā€

I also liked seeing the differences between the questions.

(Pick special attribute) (Choose as many as you like or none at all.)

These are good choices, but a scar would be a nice choice please. I have mine, not as visible as it used to be but still I’d probably be looking at (admittedly I kinda miss it.) Partially because of the tale of how I got it but still. Either way scars would be a neat little addition please.

Well transition scars in the next page technically count so I probably should have mentioned ā€œface scars.ā€

…a bat. I don’t want to kill them.

Again the dream was nice(ly sad) but you can definitely kill someone with a blunt instrument. I won’t go into detail because the rest of the scene is good but I don’t think breaking bones, including the ribs, pelvis, or skull is the epitome of pacifism. Unless you’re Batman in which case the Bat is on point man.

Plus, she drives a Tesla. That’s not even a red flag, it’s a neon sign."

The guy she’s with frowns. ā€œI like Teslas.ā€

She raises her palm to his face before gesturing between them. ā€œPlease don’t ruin this for me.ā€

She starts shedding her jacket and tosses her purse on the couch. You watch her disappear in the bathroom, only hearing her voice. ā€œYou can stay as long as you need. It’s cool if Derek stays over, right? Derek is my boyfriend…for now.ā€

I love them already…

Though I’m not sure why you’d have a car in NYC? Or any electric one in the good parts of New York.

ā€œI visited Oklahoma once,ā€ Lani says neutrally. ā€œCan’t tell you a single memory from that trip since I was blacked out drunk for most of it.ā€

Depending on their love of bougie downtown hipster drinks and/or cheap binge drinking in the backroads, that was probably the most overpriced or dangerous trip ever. I prefer the second…

You know no one. Your roommates are strangers. A co-worker at your job still hates you. And you know no one.

Poor Fredrick…

ā€œSo…a unique dump?ā€ Athena says and raises an eyebrow.

You laugh despite yourself. ā€œYeah, exactly that.ā€

Man I’ve seen a lot of those…

Well what I read wasn’t exactly my taste but from an objective stand point it’s good. I mostly started out of curiosity and continued on in the name of sunk costs. I do want to see the end of the WIP though if only in the name of said sunk costs and it being unique.

I liked the drama of it, and my favorite part was the slow realization of what’s going on with both Rainn and being homeless were my favorite parts. I’ve been in both of those trenches (well not in Rainn’s trench but I wouldn’t want to be there either.)

In all seriousness those emotions were convead well.

Also this isn’t a critique moreso something funny that happened but for once when I heard or saw the MC even though it was my name and descriptor, I kept imagining this guy

I dunno why, maybe because I wouldn’t do the things the MC does? In fact I did just about the opposite, which is why I left the citiy for the before mentioned camp jobs. There is several novels worth of more to the story I was just saying that because I thought you’d like to know.

I loved this game so much and I accidentally became hyper fixed on it and drew all the characters :sob: I found it on this website called cog demos, does anyone know where I can find the rest? I’m actually obsessed​:tired_face: I finished it all with a day​:grimacing:

What website is best to play the game? Because I’ve been using cogdemos.com currently and I’m looking for a better alternative :sweat_smile:

I’m afraid what you can find on the cogdemos is all there currently is. The author is working on the next chapter, but there’s no word at this point when it’ll be finished/available.

Is there? One on cogdemos is dated April.

Anyway. I feel it would be polite to thank Apt 502 for doing the impossible, aka making me to loathe a fictional character almost as if they were a real life politician. Rainn, darling, if someone sets you on fire as you absolutely deserve :fu:, I’m not even going to piss on you, and I’m going to play the shit out of this game if it allows me to make your life if not hell, then at least a public toilet next to beer fest with ongoing diarrhea outbreak.

I think that’s they one they mean. It was posted at the end of April so yeah, more of 3 months than one. Time flies sometimes. /s

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that was my cry when the demo finished after meeting A​:sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:
