The new recursive dream based anomaly puzzle game is here.

In the dead of night at an isolated cottage, the distinction between dreams and reality blur into one. Every hour on the hour you awaken, or do you? You must decide whether it is a dream or not by searching for anomalies; some are revealed by looking, others by triggering them.

We are now coming up to the first anniversary of Geisterbahnhof’s launch on Steam and so to celebrate we’re thrilled to announce that starting today, Geisterbahnhof is officially FREE to download! Both here (/itch/lpstme/geisterbahnhof) and on Steam.

Why the change?

We want to open the doors wider and grow our community. By making the game free, we’re ensuring that more players can join the fun and share their experiences.

Glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for the upload.

Thanks for the review

Tried to look but the video is not available.

Thanks for the review Jackie.

Thanks for the playthrough, very funny commentary.

Your feedback is our best weapon. Let us know what hits the target and what needs a reload! 

We welcome any thoughts on:

- the weapons and their interaction with the scenes.

- enemies - do they have the charm and meme worthiness we have aimed for?

- the levels are they challenging enough? Perhaps they are too challenging, let us know.

This Halloween meet the missing links between the animals and the plants, now out of control and mocking their creator, who has vanished without a trace. Inspired by the classic first person survival shooters such as Doom and Quake, given a comic book makeover and then fused with a story and dialogue inspired by the style and genius of Terry Pratchett, this comedy carnage is green anarchy accompanied by a head-nodding soundtrack.

In this four episode demo you will encounter, the raging petals of deranged sunflowers, vicious gnomes and crazed super strong scarecrows with weaponry that will send them all straight back into the ground.

WARNING: CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE.

Thanks for accepting the challenge. Glad you liked this updated version. Very funny playthrough.

Thanks for the playthrough, sorry you didn’t beat the key task. The key controls has since been improved to make the task more user friendly, while keeping it challenging. Details in the devlog.  

 You beat the game, this playthrough was a real triumph, I was on the edge of my seat watching that!  

Loved the scary darkwave music. The variations throughout the game set the mood brilliantly. One of the best playthroughs so far!

No problem. Saw your review, took some notes and I have worked to refine that key puzzle. Also fixed the sound settings. Thanks for the feedback.

You did it! Nice one.

You got quite far. A lot of respect for your perseverance, you remained positive; you rose to the challenge!

Thanks for playing Waredien; I appreciate the effort you put into that.

Thanks for your playthrough and for the great commentary. Really glad you enjoyed the game. Also congratulations, you are the only player to have made it to the end so far!

Thanks for taking the time to play through and comment, liked your style and that video upload was a quick response; very impressed!  I won't deny it, that file puzzle is tough. If you did fancy another try, the clue is that it's based on the math puzzle game "The Towers of Hanoi". 

Thanks to everyone who has downloaded the game and commented, either by posting video reviews or by simply leaving comments. Your comments and recommendations have allowed me to add further improvements to the game. I have not been able to address them all, but have been able to make some significant progress with the project, which I hope will be evident for those who play the game going forward.

Thanks for the review. Well done for spotting the Towers of Hanoi concept

Thanks for the playthrough; like the M&M analogy.

Thanks for the playthrough, nice one!

Thanks for your perseverance; that's key to beating this game, you are the only one to have done it so far, so well done. Once again thanks for the playthrough and commentary, tense at times but always great fun to watch.

Thanks for playing, Saebithen.

Thanks for your playthrough Mark. If you want to try the file puzzle again, think about the famous puzzle game "Tower of Hanoi".

 Thanks once again Yeena, for taking the time to play and review, I’m sorry that you didn’t get through The Lanes. To answer your question about the generation of the map, it is optimised to generate parts of the map as the player goes along, this is to avoid generating too much at once. The sections are selected randomly in part, but also according to which stage of the game the player is currently progressing through.

I have been thinking about how to make the pursuer appear more threatening and others have mentioned this as well so it is definitely on the todo list. The “Uncanny Valley” suggestion provides a good lead to follow up on for this, so that’s a real help, thanks. I will also look into checkpoints for The Lanes and into a “Continue” button for the menu.

So far, you are the player to have made it the furthest and so you are currently the leader! Thanks for taking the time to review, I really loved the commentary and have made some notes on your feedback.

You actually managed to beat quite a lot the game there. You did well with file puzzle, it's not easy, and the key too! Glad to hear you're thinking of having another go. Thanks for this second commentary; I've really been looking forward to seeing this. Will take on board what you said about the pursuer and how to make them more threatening.

Sorry you didn't defeat the game. I'll certainly think about what to do to make the pursuer look more threatening. To address the other comments I think I will introduce an easier difficulty setting and keep this one as the highest difficulty. Thanks for your review and for all the advice, much appreciated.

Warning: This game contains intense horror elements and is not suitable for children or those with a faint heart. Player discretion is advised.

Thanks for your feedback Lil Boi Ben. With the feedback I have to which I will be adding yours, I'm currently working on a new version of the game where I am aiming to give it a lot more structure so that searches don’t go on indefinitely. I’m also working on ways to remove the other more punishing aspects of the game. Well done for completing the game; thanks for your persistence.

Thanks for your review. Enjoyed the commentary. 

Thanks for all your work reviewing this, you make some very good points at the end; I shall be taking note of them going forward.

Thanks for your playthrough footage.

Thanks for taking the time to review Cpt Zeus; I plan to make further updates to improve this game and so will keep what you have said in mind going forward.

Thanks for your review, your feedback has been noted down - I will certainly look into that crouch function. I like the way you took time to look at all the screens, the graffiti and adverts and tested out the lockers. You review was very thorough and professional - very much appreciated. Will reconsider the pursuit music. The game was developed in the Unreal Engine 5.

My main aim now is to keep it challenging but remove the frustration. Keep an eye on the dev logs for more updates.

Loved the review, thanks for taking the time to make the video and play through the game. Your comments were much appreciated and will help me going forward with the game.
