For example, there is one part that pulls on your morals and brings about a hard choice in which a stubborn man, Mr Klaus Schimmer who is residing in apartment 1 with his wife, starts to become someone who should probably be reported. Of course, you don’t always have to follow the rules, and with many different outcomes available, there are plenty of reasons to stray from the righteous path every now and again. But that’s part of the job, and I was doing what needed to be done. Did I feel bad? Terribly, especially when my payment came to increase my money and reputation points, all as I realised a part of that was down to my grassing on a lonely man’s interests. This means that when the lonely doctor who had recently moved in to apartment 3 was found to have an interest in music, I was forced to report my suspicions to the ministry before watching the police arrive to beat the poor man senseless and whisk him away.
Whilst that may sound harsh, it was the Ministry’s directives that really impressed the severity of control I needed to have over my tenants, with new directives/law changes coming almost daily to make things such as books, apples, theatre, music, and even jeans all made illegal. At times you may well even need to take rather underhanded measures against a seemingly innocent individual just because the Ministry wants them gone.
You will need to spy on all tenants, which is done by placing surveillance cameras in their homes when they are out – all of which must be bought from your own pocket via money earnt – to searching through their personal belongings to check for further information and potential contraband. In basic terms, you are essentially the building spy in private, whilst putting on the face of the friendly landlord in conversation. This isn’t a nine-to-five job however and with a constant watch over the tenants expected at all times, my new employers were quick to administer an experimental drug during the medical exam that suppressed the need for sleep, meaning more time, or all my time rather, could be spent serving the Ministry. To become the perfect landlord, you will need to document the hobbies, interests and even conversations of each of the tenants in the apartment building – or as impressed upon as I started my new role, observe and record. The directives set out from the start are to essentially spy on your tenants and report any misdemeanours to the Ministry. You see, being a landlord is a public servant job that requires that you follow the directives of your government at all times. My initial thoughts on this were that he was simply a bad man who’d warranted being dragged away, although a little while into my stint as landlord, I wasn’t so sure that my pre-judgement was accurate.īeing a landlord in a Ministry of Allocation apartment block isn’t quite the same as the typical landlord roles you would expect. Upon arrival you see the previous landlord being whisked away by police. Fortunately, your family will be coming with you, so you at least have some familiar faces to cry to at the end of each day, as you’ll all be living in the basement apartment below the complex.
Bruno Hempf, the Senior Public Servant for the Ministry of Order who is waiting for you at your new home. Being landlord of this apartment means you are now an elite official rank and given the importance of the job, must start work immediately – at least according to your boss Mr. So, after getting back into the swing of things, I took on the role of protagonist Carl Stein, a family man who’s just been appointed the new landlord of a Class D apartment block by the Ministry of Allocation.
