A Haunting Discovery: Apartment No 129 Makes Its Console Debut
The corridors of Turkey’s most infamous urban legend are opening to a new audience as Apartment No 129 prepares to launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on January 16, 2026. Following its initial success on PC, this first-person psychological horror title from developer Batuhan Gündüz and publisher Dead Witness is being optimized to deliver a terrifyingly immersive experience on next-gen hardware.
The Legend of the Cursed Building
The game draws its chilling inspiration from a real-world urban legend that shook Turkey in 2009. According to local lore, two young girls living on the top floor of an apartment complex allegedly performed satanic rituals late at night, leading to a mysterious earthquake—unrecorded by official seismic sensors—that shattered the building's windows and claimed their lives. Since that night, the building has remained abandoned, with visitors reporting a heavy, suffocating atmosphere, foul odors, and disturbing symbols etched into the walls.
Step into the Unknown as Emir
Players step into the shoes of Emir, a social media content creator whose fascination with the paranormal leads him into the heart of this "cursed" apartment. Emir isn’t just looking for footage; he is tracing the trail of the 2009 tragedy to uncover the truth. However, his skepticism is quickly tested as the building's lingering spirits and his own internal fears begin to blur the line between reality and nightmare.
Features and Console Optimization
Next-Gen Performance: The console release is a direct port featuring all previously released PC updates, optimized for 4K Ultra HD and 60 fps+ performance.
Psychological Depth: Beyond traditional jump scares, the narrative explores Emir’s internal struggle and his doubts about the divine, creating a cerebral horror experience.
Cinematic Realism: Written by a professional film director, the game includes cinematic scenes with real actors to heighten the tension.
Multiple Endings: Every choice matters. Emir’s fate—and his sanity—depend on the player’s ability to survive unexpected confrontations with terrifying entities.
Prepare to investigate the mystery yourself when Apartment No 129 arrives on consoles next month.
