By The Horror Network February 6, 2018

“A bizarre, quirky, surreal release. The real enjoyment comes from exploration & art appreciation. Only 30-40 minutes long, but it's free. Worth checking out during spare time.”

About This Game

You're stranded at a cathedral-like train station in the near future, searching for a ticket out of town. Explore the secret passageways, interact with strangers, dig for records, and get hypnotized by the soundtrack – a batch of original music courtesy of the band, Archie Pelago.

Welcome to Off-Peak, a game created by Archie Pelago cellist Cosmo D.

In the game, players will uncover a world where the fate of it's musicians and artists is unclear, yet their tools of the trade are highly prized. Meanwhile, the station itself provides all the comforts a commuter could ask for: great food, the best beer, entertaining board games, relaxing gardens. But who is really benefiting here? It is entirely up to the player to what degree they want to engage in and interpret Off-Peak's stories, characters and themes.

Gameplay
