The Station

I found the game interesting but it is almost a walking simulator as there are not many puzzles to complete. The game took me less than 2 hours to complete but I did have a good time. I got this on a huge sale so I felt it was worth it for two hours of content.

Outrageously short walking sim. Heck, if you don't stop around to read everything and investigate every corner you will finish it within the refund window. Hah! 1.50 was a fair price and I can actually recomend it for that much. If you like Sci-Fi and some mystery experience/investigation then go ahead. It's more of a virtual experience than game. Puzzles were incredibly simple and easy but somewhat satisfactory and didn't break the pace. Story is servicable but nothing special. You'll figure out the "twist" really fast, with more and more obvious clues as you keep on exploring. It would have worked 10, 15 years ago but at this point I am just tired of self-hating oikophobes taking over the entertainment industry. Rather than self-reflect or feel cathartic, I was like "eh, it's this same thing all over again." Sorry writers, you're not profound; you're just preachy and pretentious. The "show, don't tell" approach that was promised kinda delivered in a way. The locations and rooms managed to tell a story. There are audiologs and text notes but, compared to other games, they are sparse. The attempt was appreciated but it felt like that the devs just decided not to overload the place with audio logs and notes like everyone else does, and just that alone did a lot. For 1.50 go ahead. Otherwise, you absolutely don't need it in your life. But the investigation and exploration itself was pleasant, even though there was no sense of any danger, dread or unease you'd expect from a derelict space station. There are few scripted "moments" but I never felt watched, stalked or pursued (yes, I noticed the cameras tracking me). It's okay. For 1.50. To be fair, if it went on any longer it risked falling off in quality.

If you want it, get it on a big sale. It is not worth full price due to it being so small and basic. It is interesting but not that much content to go through

I was NOT ready for such a good game ! The end just blowed my mind. I recommand 100%.

Normalmente no me suelen gustar especialmente los walking simulator, pero creo que este tiene la extensión adecuada, unido a los suficientes "puzzles" y ambientación, junto a una interesante trama (con girito final), que hace que sea agradable e interesante de jugar. Me ha gustado cómo se va desenvolviendo poco a poco la trama y la ambientación, aunque algo típica, la verdad es que nunca pasa de moda y está muy lograda. En general, juego recomendable.

A fairly intriguing short detective story with a sci-fi twist. Very akin to Gone Home but perhaps a little more ominous and mysterious, sometimes even slightly unsettling but far from actual jumpscares. The interiors are beautifully crafted and a joy to explore so if you're into games among the likes of Gone Home, Dear Esther or Vanishing of Ethan Carter, you'll probably enjoy this one too. It's a pity that The Station is so short (2-3h) so there's not much room for character development and the emotional impact is probably the smallest of the aforementioned games, but the ending still offered an interesting twist that made me ponder about humanity for long after I finished it. Worth it when on sale for 1.5€ - 3€.
