Great game!
Bon Jeu !
me gusto aunque este corto
A nice short little horror game with many endings to experience. It shows how much 1 simple choice can affect the lives of many (or none at all) Well done Dev :)
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)This game was pretty interactive and well made. Great job RiverSoftware. I found a glitch where you can fly using objects and had a lot of fun with it.
That was a lot of fun! Here's my video to add to the pile! :-)
Good game!! 👍👍👍🎮
love this game! I got all endings including the secret 5th ending!!! It’s the second game in the video!
I needed to get all the endings. I learned to talk to the weird guy because it coud save your life.
I know that having elements of fourth wall breaking is cool and all but I was just doxxed by my name on stream, and I'm a vtuber so I can't be having that. Can you at least put a warning there? I couldn't continue playing the game after that happened. Either allow changing it in the settings or give a warning on the main game page for it.
2/4 endings. Short and simple. Good Game.
Hey! Had a blast playing! I loved the endings I got, found out there was a secret ending?! I got the live ending and that was enough haha least for me! Thank you for the opportunity! 💕
Nice game!
this game has 4 ending that you can find simple but you should volume down in game
you can see the gameplay video on my youtube
Did not show the last ending because I could not figure it out until I tried it off recording but still enjoyed the game!
Tamirciye yardım etmezsek tren bozuluyor ve hayırlı işler iyiymiş :)
I really like this game, seems chill at first but the endings Woah!
Nice! Starts at 48:19.
The Different endings were great! 🔥💯
THIS OLD MAN GOT NO CHILL!! | The Station
I very much enjoyed finding the endings for this game!
Loved the game i had a good time playing it.
quisiera poder donarles, pero no tengo la edad requerida, lo que quiero decir es gracias por todo y perdon por tan poco
Jajjajaj, no hace falta donar. Darme un calificación positiva me ayuda un montón <3
The Station is one of those hidden indie gems that truly takes you by surprise. Set in an abandoned metro station, the game blends a hauntingly atmospheric environment with a gripping mystery narrative. It’s not horror in the traditional sense — no cheap jumpscares or over-the-top gore — but it masterfully creates a chilling, suspenseful vibe that keeps you on edge from start to finish.
What really stands out are the four different endings, each one cleverly written and genuinely unexpected. I couldn’t predict where the story was heading, and that made the experience even more satisfying. The presence of a lurking criminal adds a layer of tension, but the game focuses more on psychological thrills and storytelling than action or combat.
The visuals and sound design work together to build a dark, immersive world. Every corner of the metro station feels like it holds a secret, and the pacing is just right to keep you curious without dragging.
Overall, The Station impressed me a lot. It’s smart, atmospheric, and full of surprises. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what the developer comes up with next.
very dark
Ngl Im glad i am a friendly person😂
Second game in the vid (starts around 18:00), played it two days ago:
My thoughts (Probably Contains Spoilers):*Due to my review more or less being the same for both game and the fact that they are by the same dev, im gonna copy and paste this to both comment sections*Dunno if you (in this case the dev, RiverSoftware) remember me but I played neighbor next door a few months back and had fun. Nice and short, didn't have to think entirely too much, and getting jumpscared by rats. I do prefer them this way as I'm able to crank out a quick vid after work which I why I tend to gravitate more to that kind of game. Coincidentally (or perhaps not) this game was similar in that it was short and scary, perfect for when I'm getting home late (was like 10pm or so when I got in that day). I managed to knock this one out as well as the other game in this vid, which you also created. All in all, keep it up bro! I'll check in again in due time!
Thx for that review! Ofc I remember you, love your vids :)
A very direct and interesting short game.
Hi there! I played your game in my 3 short horror games video. I completed all endings and now that I read the game description again I realized that there's a secret ending too. I wish I found it, but it's a little too late now since the video is already out. It was also a bit creepy how the game knew a day of the week, clock AND my name. Which I wonder how, since my name on itch.io is nitqcute and not Anita. Overall, this game was simple and fun and I loved it. Can't wait to see more games from you! <3
Really enjoyed it and the game got me a bunch of times!
Looking forward to more!
bruh
This man is cute:
Honestly, I've played other games similar to this play style and this one is probably better than those
nice game
