Oni Station (v1.2.0)

A dwindling fuel gauge turns every mile into a countdown in this tense roguelike horror run set aboard a lonely train. You wake with no clear memory of why you are there, only the certainty that a hostile presence is following close behind and that stopping for too long is dangerous. The rails lead through an unnerving sequence of stations, each offering the possibility of survival or another delay that brings the creature nearer. Oni Station favors sustained dread over elaborate combat, making its simple premise feel increasingly desperate as a run unfolds.

The central loop revolves around choosing when to leave the train, which stations are worth investigating, and how much time you can afford to spend scavenging. Fuel keeps the engine moving, while batteries and other useful supplies help support continued exploration, but every detour carries risk. Station layouts and available resources shuffle between attempts, so there is no single safe route or reliable checklist to follow. Smart players balance speed against preparation, learn to read the situation quickly, and accept that a promising run can collapse when the train is left starving for fuel.

Its strongest idea is the way survival depends on movement and planning rather than firepower: the train is both shelter and ticking clock. The arcade-like structure makes failure easier to jump back from, while procedural station combinations give repeated attempts a different rhythm and keep resource decisions fresh. Narrative fragments gradually point toward the nature of the tracks, the missing memories, and the pursuing monster, giving leaderboard-focused survival runs a welcome layer of mystery. Fans of compact indie horror, score-chasing roguelikes, and games that generate panic from limited resources should find plenty to like, especially if they enjoy the pressure of managing a run rather than mastering complex combat.
