About This Demo

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

Events and crew narratives are captured as Evacom™ data files, recorded by each character from their perspective. Load any file to live through that crew member’s final run and stitch together the full picture of the catastrophe.

In this demo:

• First character file — Inspector

• Main gamemode — Incident Playback

• One ​exit ending available in demo​ - but which one?

• All key features of the main game

Key features:

• Catastrophe via Evacom™ : The entire experience plays out within the Evacom™ terminal, letting you relive the space station’s collapse from the perspective of its crew.

  

• Every level is generated 100% solvable puzzle: Advance level by level, compartment by compartment — until you reach the exit… or run out of time.

• Turn-based tactics: Plan your moves, avoid deadly threats, and manage limited resources under pressure.

• Death at every turn: You will die. A lot. A space catastrophe is no place for fun.

  

• Conduct your own investigation: Organize recovered data and reconstruct the true timeline of the disaster, unlocking new characters and gameplay modes as you piece together the mystery.

  

• Time is your greatest enemy: You can influence the flow of events, but you can’t stop the catastrophe.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains realistic depictions of blood, though they are infrequent and not the primary focus.
Players may encounter scenes involving the implied death of characters, often represented through schematic visuals and atmospheric audio.
The narrative explores themes of isolation, survival, and catastrophic failure in a sci-fi horror setting.
While there is no graphic violence or gore, the tone is tense and may not be appropriate for all players.
