A fun short adventure game that has you explore a space station with a few simple puzzles and thrills. Not a wasted 2 hours.

If the premise sounds good, and the price looks fine, I'd say go for it. I think my biggest issues with this game is that it feels very bland in the mise-en-scene. There's some weird set design choices, a lot of the tools and in-station screens display nonsensical stuff, and some elements seem important or feel telegraphed but aren't in any way useful or needed. A lot of it feels 'stagey,' and doesn't feel lived in; either due to asset flipping or AI designs- either way, it looks good, but like a prompted image, if you look closely it doesn't seem to make sense logically in the context of the world. Despite these short-comings/red hearings, The Station is an engaging mystery sci-fi narrative, with deep enough characters, some decent puzzle solving, and ends in a satisfying and thoughtful way, but I can also see some not enjoying it. I got it on sale for cheap- and I'd recommend it for a similar price. Expect about 2.5 hours of gameplay.

I loved playing this game. It's very short and I hope there will be more games like this. I love the mystery, being out in space, on an unknown space station. The music is good and spooky sometimes. There is audio dialog and text to read. Not too much, a good balance. The puzzles are good and challenging. I love the achievements too. If there is another follow up game like this I would definitely buy it. I would also love to visit this planet again, and I'm still curious what is happening on the planet. If you like this game, I can also recommend some other games I've played that might be a bit similar: - Dead Space - Deliver Us The Moon - Tacoma - Outer Wilds - Star Control: Origins

It's $1.49 (US Dollars), & I feel comfortable saying I do believe it is worth that price, and maybe a bit more. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794535720 It is short. It feels like something is missing, but it does have enjoyable moments. I got all achieves. I spent a lot of time in the game a few years ago. Though I am not playing it again, I just want those looking at it to know it's not bad, it's just not great, and it is short. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794422677 Good for achievement hunting. If I got them all, you can get them all, too. Nice visuals (I forget the sounds, but I would guess they were good. I don't recall anything bad.) This game is not available in all regions O.o Thanks Schattenkatze for the info.

It's a fun, tense story game. There are not many puzzles—it's mostly a walking sim. The story and ending were fine.
