PANIC STATION

I'm not really sure if PANIC STATION is an asset flip. Some elements of this game certainly make it seem like the developer put some effort into assembling some kind of original here. On the other hand, a lot of the game assets don't seem like they were created by the developer, but they haven't credited any asset creators for supplying assets, which might be a case of plagiarism. There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here is indistinguishable from many asset flip/cash grab scams, and that's a problem in itself. There's also the contributing factor of the fake/paid review manipulation, which, if nothing else, will mean this game will be removed from Steam if Valve ever gets around to enforcing their own rules for developers. Also, you know, who is arranging such admittedly nice looking assets for a trivial first person adventure where you walk around an empty space station and press "T" to turn off 8 monitors? Because that's all this game is... yeah, if this isn't an asset flip, I'll eat my hat. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimu…

Just don't, even if it's free.

PANIC STATION, developed and published by Forest Games, is a multiplayer-focused sci-fi horror experience that blends close-quarters combat, environmental puzzles, and player-driven tension into a single chaotic survival scenario. Set aboard a dark, compromised space station, the game throws players into a hostile environment where infection has spread, systems are failing, and trust is never guaranteed. Rather than leaning purely into scripted horror, it builds much of its tension through unpredictability—both from the environment and from other players who may be allies one moment and threats the next. The gameplay centers on competitive survival, with a strong emphasis on melee combat. Unlike many multiplayer titles that rely on ranged weapons, PANIC STATION pushes players into direct, physical confrontations. Timing, positioning, and quick reactions become essential, as fights unfold in tight corridors and confined rooms where there is little room for error. This design creates a sense of immediacy, making every encounter feel personal and intense. However, the combat system itself is relatively simple, and while it works well in short bursts, it can begin to feel repetitive o…

I can't recall why this was something I wanted. The game itself feels like a complete sandwich of awful. All I could do is walk around a station, with not much to do aside from turn off some computers. Frame rate drops quite often, and you can also climb out of the station to your infinite falling. The mouse isn't locked to the screen, so it quite often ended up on my second monitor. Game's... just.. I don't know. I guess I can say it's bad.

the frame count of 3fps is still higher than the number of times this developer has felt proud of something they have created. Absolute, steaming pile of faeces

Very very Broken
