Off-Peak fans, I'm pleased to announce the official release date for The Norwood Suite -- October 2nd, 2017. It's been an intense two years, but I'm excited to finally deliver this work. I'm getting the soundtrack mastered now and it's exactly as I'd envisioned - full, rich, focused. Full trailer below: https://youtu.be/yG3YIq2MIcM A new steam page will go up sometime next month.

You're stranded at a cathedral-like train station in the near future, searching for a ticket out of town. Explore the secret passageways, interact with strangers, dig for records, and get hypnotized by the soundtrack – a batch of original music courtesy of the band, Archie Pelago.

Welcome to Off-Peak, a game created by Archie Pelago cellist Cosmo D.

In the game, players will uncover a world where the fate of it's musicians and artists is unclear, yet their tools of the trade are highly prized. Meanwhile, the station itself provides all the comforts a commuter could ask for: great food, the best beer, entertaining board games, relaxing gardens. But who is really benefiting here? It is entirely up to the player to what degree they want to engage in and interpret Off-Peak's stories, characters and themes.

Gameplay

Off-Peak is a first-person adventure game that takes place in one giant area with multiple nooks, crannies and hidden passageways to discover. Within its own bounds, the game can be explored at any pace or direction the player so chooses. On average, the game takes roughly 20-30 minutes to play in its entirety.

Off-peak Is freeware.
