At first it seems like an ordinary apartment maintenance job. Meet the residents, help them with their problems, and definitely don't search their apartments while they're not home (but it's just so tempting, and no one will ever know, right?). But you'll quickly realize something else is going on. Lights flicker, toilets attack you, and there are plenty of secret rooms and lost histories to discover. This apartment is much bigger on the inside than on the outside... Magical Maintenance Mystery is a half cozy, half spooky incremental text adventure from the developer of Nano Empire, Evelyn's Farm, Pocket Reality, and more. Features: -Explore a big open world at your own pace. -Customize your character with four skills: Combat, Empathy, Engineering, and Investigation. -Get to know four residents: Helen the young genius, Simon the artist, Willa the minister, and Bruce the entrepreneur; plus more characters you'll discover later. -Fight bed bugs and roaches, but these will soon be the least of your worries... -Solve puzzles, with a hint system if you get stuck. -Fully accessible with VoiceOver. -Play the complete game for free with no ads. An in-app purchase is available to permanently double your progress and unlock optional content.
