About This Game

A station you were never told about

An envelope, a set of keys, and the deed to a railway station no one in your family ever spoke of. You go to see what you have been left — and find that its platforms do not lead where platforms lead.

Four cities, a century apart

Each platform opens onto a real place at a real time: Berlin, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, decades apart. You are not shown a museum of them. You walk their streets, read their signs, speak to the people standing on their corners, and pick up what they left lying around.

A clue in one era changes another

This is the whole game. Something you read in one city means nothing until a thing you find in another tells you what it was. The notebook you carry between them is the only place those two halves ever meet — and the story is what you assemble in it, not what you are told.

Quiet, first-person, unhurried

No combat, no timers, no fail state. Historiker is about looking closely and following a thread across a hundred years, at your own pace.

A preview is in development. Wishlist to hear when it opens.
