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


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.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ebtZpXeSAY&index=49&list=PLGCO4EfbVB6XXoAnQMUJjoEh3c2BLfHx8

[h1] Psychedelic Art Museum Walking Simulator at it's finest. [/h1] 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. [spoi...

[b]Basic Breakdown[/b]: Off-Peak, a game developed by [b]Cosmo D[/b] and published by [b]Cosmo D Studios[/b] 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 [b]Luuke[/b] 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 kee...

I'd pretend to love this as an experience if I were even 1 degree deeper into Hipsteria.

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.

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
