I find it to be somewhat crazy that it’s been almost a year since I wrote my post about the first-person sci-fi exploration game “The Station“, because I honestly thought that I wrote about the game just recently (time really does fly you by when you’re having fun).Anyways, we received an e-mail from The Station’s creative director just now (Kevin Harwood), and this is what we were told:

“Hello, my name is Kevin and I’m the Creative Director of The Station. It’s my great pleasure to announce that The Station is now ready for boarding. Available on PC, Xbox One & PlayStation 4 – you can choose your platform at: www.TheStationGame.com Welcome aboard.” – Kevin Harwood, Creative Director

“The Station” is said to offer intuitive problem solving in a sci-fi environment. Well, by the looks of the latest trailer and the current reviews, that sounds about right.

In other words, “The Station” is now available for PC (via Steam), PS4 (via the Playstation store) and Xbox One (via the Microsoft store) =) And for those who have no idea (whatsoever) what “The Station” is all about, here’s a short description of the game:

“The Station game is a first-person narrative mystery set on a space station sent to study a sentient alien civilization.How would you react if we discovered a sentient alien civilization, challenging everything we know about biology, chemistry, physics, religion and answering the questions man has asked throughout history?But what if this sentient alien civilization was discovered in a state of civil war?Determining that the rewards outweigh the risks, an undetectable space station with a small three-person crew deploys to research the alien culture in search of a means towards a peaceful relationship.Unable to contact the crew, a recon specialist is sent to uncover what happened. What players discover will challenge their view of surveillance, imperialism and moral law.Welcome aboard The Station.”

The PC reviews have been pretty positive for “The Station” (the game has received quite a lot of good grades on Steam). So let’s hope that the PS4 and Xbox One version will receive positive game reviews as well.

As for game features, here are some of the said launch features for “The Station”:

A World of Augmented Reality – The future holds a progressive attitude towards how information is stored and shared. Technology has gone through a digital revolution and conversations, notes and even computers are experienced in full Augmented Reality. Ranging from personal to professional, these AR logs will let players explore what was taking place on-board.

Intuitive Problem Solving – When a door won’t open, what will you stop at to discover what lies behind it? The secrets on-board the station will resist being uncovered and you must rely on your ability to identify and solve intuitive but subtle problems – The Station itself is a puzzle to be solved.

Piece Together a Living Story – We believe the best stories are shown not told. Each room and space will have a unique moment to share if you look close enough – as the story unravels each detail will begin to fall into place. For the keen eye, a rich story awaits.

Axiom is the fictional company that’s leading the space research mission in “The Station”.

Other than that, Kevin Harwood also informed us that there is now a launch trailer for “The Station” (you can watch the trailer further down the page). So don’t miss out on that one =)
