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 alien world 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 to sent to uncover what happened. What players discover will challenge their view of surveillance, imperialism and moral law.

It's $1.49 (US Dollars), & I feel comfortable saying I do believe it is worth that price, and maybe a bit more.
It is short. It feels like something is missing, but it does have enjoyable moments. I got all achieves. I spent a lot of time in the game a few years ago. Though I am not playing it again, I just want those looking at it to know it's not bad, it's just not great, and it is short.
Good for achievement hunting. If I got them all, you can get them all, too.
Nice visuals
(I forget the sounds, but I would guess they were good. I don't recall anything bad.)
This game is not available in all regions O.o
Thanks Schattenkatze for the info.

It's a fun, tense story game. There are not many puzzles—it's mostly a walking sim. The story and ending were fine.

I loved playing this game.
It's very short and I hope there will be more games like this.
I love the mystery, being out in space, on an unknown space station.
The music is good and spooky sometimes.
There is audio dialog and text to read. Not too much, a good balance.
The puzzles are good and challenging. I love the achievements too.
If there is another follow up game like this I would definitely buy it.
I would also love to visit this planet again, and I'm still curious what is happening on the planet.
If you like this game, I can also recommend some other games I've played that might be a bit similar:
- Dead Space
- Deliver Us The Moon
- Tacoma
- Outer Wilds
- Star Control: Origins

The Station has you explore a spaceship to find the 3 missing crew members and trying to figure out why all communication got lost in the first place. The spaceship is divided in different rooms, there are a total of 3 puzzles, lots of audio logs that are the collectibles in this game and you need to find clues to open 2 lockers. The content you get is between 1-2.5 hours depending on doing the optional stuff and how fast you figure some things out. You can even complete it in less than one hour if you rush through the game.
The spaceship is really well designed, the rooms are well connected and they make sense why they’re designed a certain way. It feels immersive exploring the rooms and interacting with objects. It’s easy to believe the 3 crew members lived there. The beautiful graphics help with this. The game feels very polished, there are no bugs or anything behaving weirdly. I liked the 3 puzzles, they were fun and not taxing. The inventory/menu/map is well integrated with the world and it’s cool the way the developers did it. I enjoyed the voice acting, it would have been too quiet if there wasn’t any because the game doesn’t really have a soundtrack. The story, while nothing original, was enjoyable enough to follow. There are a couple of nice twists but they’re kind of hidden and not shown but guessed based on some clues given. The achievements are fair and mostly related to progressing the story with a couple being optional (fully explore and find everything etc).
The game’s biggest issue is probably the amount of content you get if you pay the full price of €15. You get too little for that price. The camera also likes to spin around if you have a controller connected to your PC, so make sure you unplug it before playing. The next flaws are going to be nitpicks: a counter for the total audio logs the game has would have been nice to know how far you are with collecting them. The achievements didn’t activate while playing the game but after quitting the game. I wasn’t sure if I got some and I had to quit a couple of times to check.
The Station is an enjoyable narrative driven walking sim that can easily be completed in one sitting. This is normally a problem with the full price, but the sale price of €2,24 (85% off) on Steam is more than worth it. It might not leave a long lasting impression for being over so quickly but I had a good time. Kind of like having a fun night by watching a good movie.

I highly recommend The Station for its engaging puzzles and compelling storyline. The game's ending is truly unexpected and adds to the overall experience. If you enjoy mystery and walking simulator, this is definitely one to try.

If the premise sounds good, and the price looks fine, I'd say go for it. I think my biggest issues with this game is that it feels very bland in the mise-en-scene. There's some weird set design choices, a lot of the tools and in-station screens display nonsensical stuff, and some elements seem important or feel telegraphed but aren't in any way useful or needed. A lot of it feels 'stagey,' and doesn't feel lived in; either due to asset flipping or AI designs- either way, it looks good, but like a prompted image, if you look closely it doesn't seem to make sense logically in the context of the world. Despite these short-comings/red hearings, The Station is an engaging mystery sci-fi narrative, with deep enough characters, some decent puzzle solving, and ends in a satisfying and thoughtful way, but I can also see some not enjoying it. I got it on sale for cheap- and I'd recommend it for a similar price. Expect about 2.5 hours of gameplay.

Walking Simulator extremadamente corto, pero con una buena ambientación, y un giro final muy bueno.
