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.

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

Great adventure game with tense atmosphere. Unfortunately its quite short but makes you wish for more in a good way. The puzzles are quite easy. The "horror" moments are well placed. Got the game on a big sale (90%) which was absolutely worth the price.

Excellent puzzle solving in space, not quite in the same league as perhaps Deliver Us the Moon, but gripping stuff nonetheless and exploring the station has a nice, steadily revealing itself to you kind of feel. One downside: the intro cutscene is really naff. But that's about it, the game otherwise is worth trying.

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.

A fairly intriguing short detective story with a sci-fi twist. Very akin to Gone Home but perhaps a little more ominous and mysterious, sometimes even slightly unsettling but far from actual jumpscares. The interiors are beautifully crafted and a joy to explore so if you're into games among the likes of Gone Home, Dear Esther or Vanishing of Ethan Carter, you'll probably enjoy this one too.
It's a pity that The Station is so short (2-3h) so there's not much room for character development and the emotional impact is probably the smallest of the aforementioned games, but the ending still offered an interesting twist that made me ponder about humanity for long after I finished it.
Worth it when on sale for 1.5€ - 3€.

A fun short adventure game that has you explore a space station with a few simple puzzles and thrills. Not a wasted 2 hours.
