About the Game

What is it that defines the dreams that truly terrify us and then haunt us long after waking up? Is it a situation we cannot escape? Perhaps it is being surrounded by a place that is isolated and alienating? Could it be the feeling of being exposed to something or someone that seeks inflict unimaginable torments on us?

One example that captures all of this is the place you will be taken to, should you choose to accept this challenge. As the player you will take on the role of an unsuspecting commuter taking the subway who gets side-tracked from their mundane activity and wanders into a part of the system that has been abandoned. However, this is no accident, this is a place to which you have been lured, the Geisterbahnhof, or ghost station.

Your task is to survive and escape, but in order to do so you will need to move carefully through the endless tunnels evading your pursuer and seeking out the items that you will depend upon for your escape. Even so, the items alone will not be enough, you will also need to employ your memory and all your concentration and of course you will need to keep your nerve.

Features:

  • Player is immersed in continuous atmospheric tension, interrupted by jump scares from a pursuer who can strike at any time.

  • The player must begin solving puzzles that utilize the subway’s dilapidated infrastructure to provide clues. They then must harness their memory to navigate their way to freedom.

  • Replayable- the station maps are procedurally generated in a number of different styles varying the experience with each play
