About the Game

Dead Station Files is a hardcore turn‑based roguelike puzzle about surviving on a doomed space station, experienced entirely through the Evacom™ portable emergency ​terminal.

Plan ahead under pressure: use station systems, avoid deadly hazards, and make hard decisions to survive.

A hostile entity that kills everyone and brutally punishes mistakes, pushing the stakes to the limit.

It evolves with the disaster, growing more dangerous as station conditions worsen and hazards spread.

The station is packed with connected events that change over time and with your actions.

Characters play their part in the same tragedy from different points of view.

Plan your evacuation route through a collapsing station: decide where to spend precious time and resources, when to intervene, and what to avoid at all costs.

A large-scale tragedy told through fragmented records and files, pieced together by you.

Nothing is spelled out. Connect the dots and uncover what happened and why.
