The Midnight Station
A downloadable game for Windows
Like the PC games of yesteryear, you're thrown head-first into the thick of it with just a manual and asked to figure out the universe. It's like the ghost of an RPG we never got — a strange amalgam of Shin Megami Tensei and the Moonside section of Earthbound shoved into a dusty floppy disk.
- Chris Person, Kotaku
Equipping Chaos Theory can be quite confusing, but you can always discuss both it and Abstraction with the Everman. Just make sure to regularly save by confessing your sins in the Bathroom facility and you'll have a brilliantly odd time.
The Midnight Station is a Surreal, Action-Adventure RPG playing on the visual aesthetics of the ZX Spectrum, which began its inception in the wee hours of the morning during
SpeccyJam.
Like an eldritch horror it swelled and grew, expanding beyond anything any one team could possibly hope to quell... The team was lost, along with the rest of humanity. But in earth's final moments; The Architect stepped in.
Collector of curios and admirer of oddities, The Architect saw fit to preserve the remnants of this dying race. Compounding. Storing. Compressing them all into one final entity and placing them safely within the confines of The Midnight Station.
Now we are they. You are them. Are us.
Can we escape the midnight station? Will their finesse, my brawn, your mind, suffice? What horrors, what mysteries? There are questions. Yes, many. But further there are answers and yet unknown still.
Please join us; help you; save we. They must be free.
The Midnight Station awaits.
