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.

Very clever & unique!

This is such a fun and interesting game. The writing is really well done and the gameplay is easy to pick up. I also love that there’s a detailed step-by-step walkthrough for the puzzles in case you get stuck. It’s free and there aren’t any ads - you have nothing to lose by downloading and trying it out! I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much I’ve enjoyed it so far - and I still have so much of the story left to explore. Highly recommend giving it a try!

So I really love this game and can not wait to see it develop further there is already so much to do and see so I’m excited to see how far this game goes I paid for the premium which definitely helps and it is a reasonable price for an indie game I hope the developers take time to relax and recharge I’d hate to see this game abandon because they get burnt out or discouraged from others.

Fantastic pacing, and very clever world building makes for great immersion, especially for a game that is entirely text. There are wow moments and twists and turns, highly recommend!I played most of the game with the free version, but then upgraded after enjoying it. Upgrade isn’t needed, but adds a couple of rooms and puzzles, and speeds up xp which makes the idle projects complete faster.

This game has had me hooked for the past three days. The story is fascinating, the puzzles are extremely fun (especially if you like math and logic problems!), and every aspect of the app is fully usable with VoiceOver. I really appreciate the developer's ongoing dedication to accessibility, so people with disabilities can enjoy his games equally.
