Apartman: Building Manager

You are the manager of Papatya Apartments in Istanbul. Your desk is never empty. ON YOUR DESK EVERY WEEK Bass at two in the morning. The lift is stuck between floors. 3A hasn't paid the dues again. Ramazan, the caretaker, wants a raise. You decide every request: take a side, mediate, or stay out of it. Under each option you can see who will be pleased and who will be hurt. Then end the week: dues come in, systems wear down, faces change. EVERY FLAT HAS A FACE Nezahat Teyze has lived in 1A for forty years. Dr. Emre works nights and tries to sleep by day, right above the students. Tap a flat to see why someone is unhappy: noise from below, cold radiators, high dues. Unhappy neighbours pay late and eventually move out. Three candidates apply for an empty flat; they don't tell you everything, so read the hints. BALANCE THE BOOKS Dues arrive in the first week of the month; the caretaker's wage, electricity, water and winter fuel go out at the end. The heating runs from November to March, so save for winter. Eco, normal or warm? A lift service contract, insurance, a cleaning firm? Timely maintenance is cheaper than a breakdown. THE RESIDENTS' MEETING Every three months the neighbours gather in the hall to vote on the dues and big projects. You see the mood in the room: who says yes, who is undecided. Invite two of them for tea to win them over. The votes fall one by one. REPORT CARDS AND PROJECTS Every month ends with a report card: happiness, building, funds, occupancy. Good grades give XP, XP gives levels, and levels unlock projects: LED lighting, cameras, a garden, soundproofing, external insulation, a new lift, solar panels, a roof flat. Inflation arrives every January. IMPROVE THE BUILDING Good months and finished projects earn the building a reputation. As it grows you can renew the entrance hall, the stairwell, the boiler room and the back garden; every upgrade has a monthly upkeep. Initiatives such as a neighbourhood fund, a façade mural, a street sponsorship or a garden festival can be repeated after a while. All of it is paid from the building's funds. A DAILY NEIGHBOURHOOD BULLETIN One bulletin lands on your desk each day: the neighbour of the day, talk of the stairwell, the season's chores. Read it on consecutive days and the streak grows, with a reward on the seventh. Miss a day and the streak restarts, with no penalty. Let the funds go negative while the neighbours are angry and they will call a vote of confidence. Lose it and you are demoted, with an auditor running the funds for three months. No timers, no energy. Play as many weeks as you like. No account needed; your save stays on your device. Contains ads: a banner strip after the first week, and two optional rewarded videos you choose to watch. In English, German and Turkish.
