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
Off-Peak is a first-person adventure game that takes place in one giant area with multiple nooks, crannies and hidden passageways to discover. Within its own bounds, the game can be explored at any pace or direction the player so chooses. On average, the game takes roughly 20-30 minutes to play in its entirety.
Off-peak Is freeware.

Off Peak is an amazing experience, exploring the station in all of it's artistic beauty and hearing the in some cases quite relatable concerns and conversations that the people in the station have is quite engaging.
It's a free experience that you can have in 30 minutes or so, and if you like it I would also heavily encourage you to buy and play it's follow up game "The Norwood Suite" as it continues on in the same universe, you'll not regret it.
Is this some kind of stupid art project. Looks great but no substance, and I guess i'm not gonna see the end because the game wont let me finish for some damn reason. don't waste your time.
Crazy game... if you paying for it i would not recommend, too short...
Psychedelic Art Museum Walking Simulator at it's finest.
The aesthetic of this game is easily the best part, at least for me. It made me feel like I was wandering around those CD-ROM magazines like Blender/Launch from the 90s that had weird point and click adventure style elements that led you to articles/videos/images. I just finished playing around with it and I can say that I'm really impressed. The music is definitely the main draw, it is incredible. The way it weaves into the setpieces (more on that soon) it feels like it is giving you context for what's being said around you. The imagery and all the various places you can find and explore is varied and well done. I can't say too much without spoiling things you should stumble upon. Pay attention to what you're seeing, what you're reading and what you're hearing to really get what is being shown to you. I first took my time just finding which areas triggered new songs just that is in and of itself a great time.
There are two endings.
This game is like you've fallen down a rabbit hole you can't escape.
You have entered the Twilight Zone, and your only escape is to find all the ticket pieces so that you can board a train outta here.
As you explore this strange world, you will find secret passages, meet strange people, and get drawn in further by the strange experiences you will encounter, while trying to escape this place.
Bright colorful graphics, an original soundtrack, and bizarre story line make for a great little game.
Sadly it is a little short for my liking, but for the free price, I really cannot complain.
Don't take my word for it, and check out my video by clicking on the link.

Fun, clever, and trippy way to kill an hour, and it is free! I'll be keeping an eye out for future work. Thanks!
Tis a fun short game. If it wasn't free I'd say its meh but since its free, I'd say it was worth the half hour I put in it. Nothing truly special but nothing bad either. Just music and artistic design.
Great soundtrack, genuinely surreal and dream-like atmosphere. No challenge whatsoever but a fun way to kill an hour nonetheless.
Strange and dreamlike game with many places to explore. Ambient music is very calming, there wasn't a single part of this I disliked.
Pizza was also good. 10/10
Ok, the music is good, otherwise this is not a game, this is an art project. Cheap art project.
Basic Breakdown: Off-Peak, a game developed by Cosmo D and published by Cosmo D Studios is basically a fancy surreal experience/walking simulator. The game takes about half an hour to complete and has 2 slightly different endings depending on your actions towards merchants within the station that you explore.
Off-Peak at it's core is a trippy dream like land that seems to follow it's own rules, and it's own narrative that has this strange leader whose name is peppered through conversations of the inhabitants within the world.
At the start of the game a person named Luuke sends you out to find the pieces of ticket that he misplaced. You have 8 pieces to collect as you traverse through this wonderfully detailed station, speak with merchants and others who seem to inhabit this place.
The game is very deliberate in avoiding what the fate all of these people have, their motives for being there and even what Marcus's deal is, it's however done in a way that keeps you engaged. It's such an in-depth world with many people to interact with and it's worth going that extra way even once you've put your ticket together to see what random inhabitants have to say.
Graphics: Looks like a bit of an acid trip, but the detail to the art which it contains is amazing. Textures are very polished, character design is really good and it's just an all round pretty game.
Soundtrack: The music to this is by far one of my favourite things to this game. It's the perfect addition to it giving you that trippy atmospheric immersion. Thanks Archie Pelago!!
Menu: Text built into the start of the game to give you a rundown of it's basic controls and it works wonderfully to just throw you straight in.
Final Conclusion: I absolutely love this game. It's kind of like a fancy walking simulator but doesn't feel like one at the end of it all. The music ties perfectly with the atmosphere, the art is incredible and the polished pretty graphics help it be just that little bit extra.
During the game, you tend to find putting the ticket together is a bit of an afterthought as you lose yourself in exploring your surroundings. Once you have completed your ticket, it's almost sad that you don't have anymore of the world to delve into.
It gives you a trippy dream like experience in which nothing feels real, nothing fully makes sense and even at the end of it all you have many unanswered questions.
It's very much worth a look at and play through. The developers clearly put a lot of thought and detail into this creation - it pays off and it shows. Very keen for the sequel called The Norwood Suite hopefully making it's way to steam greenlight soon!
climbing those dark stairs was really exciting.
This is a mood piece. It's not about challenge or even a coherent story (although you can piece one together). The gameplay is very simplistic but if you can get lost in an atmosphere, the surreal style and strange characters will be reason enough to play this.
Excellent little piece of weird worldbuilding.
I'd pretend to love this as an experience if I were even 1 degree deeper into Hipsteria.
Not only is this game free and full of artistic, original content, but it delivers a captivating story and environment to get lost in for about an hour. I would highly recoommend this experience.
An art gallery with free admission. Nothing more. Do not expect to see any long gameplay, but you shoud better brace yourself for loads and loads of art pieces around. If you are into contemporary art, this one is for you. By the way, the soundtrack is so nice, and complements with artworks around.
Pretty incredible, honestly. Very odd, but awesome basis. Fantastic soundtrack!
I'm confused and im not sure if that's a bad thing. As any normal teenager I was questioning the reality and meaning of life 5 minutes before playing this so when I started this up, i'm not exactly sure what I was expecting.
I love the design put into the game and I like the mood that the music sets. Although the game is only about 30-40 minutes worth of playtime it's still worth looking into. I personally enoyed the game and if i could interact with something, i tried to interact with everything there was to interact with. I found there may be 2 or 3 endings to this as well. So, that's interesting.
All in all, it's a pretty neat game that you can probably start up and finish within 30 minutes or less.
Yes, Yes and Yes. Free cookies, great art and triple ladies. My kind of game.
+ free, achievements, dialogs, art, music, environment, the ending tho, everything else
A note: I need a longer game like this. I'd buy it.
10/10 would find ticket pieces in surreal train station again
