About the Game

Screenside Station is a desktop companion game. Keep an eye on a tiny, cute railway station while you work, watch movies or play another game.

Build and decorate

Running a rail station is a bit like owning a tiny town: some visitors will only come when you've built things that appeal to them. Use your earnings to buy and place everything from an ice cream stand, to a soccer ball, to a rubber ducky.

The most important visitor is... you! Absolutely everything can be recolored and placed wherever you want -- arrange the perfect tableau for your zoomed out life.

Perfect vibes

Screenside Station comes with an original soundtrack featuring custom songs for each background, and gentle sound effects that are never intrusive. Place it anywhere on screen and forget that it exists -- until you need a quick break.
