4.5/5 ★ – eatpotatochip's review of Off-Peak.

​I've been watching a lot of videos by this very nice YouTube channel belonging to a guy called Jacob Geller, and in one of his videos, he recommended the games of an indie developer named Cosmo D. I played two of his games, and the first one, which is a free half-hour experience, is called Off-Peak. Cosmo D's games are generally surrealist explorations of specific areas, with musical motifs for each corner of those areas, a bunch of interesting artwork shown either through in-game paintings or in-game 3D models, and some sort of overarching theme that's usually about people eking out ways to live under some sort of capitalist oppression (and yes, you can't really have an indie game without anti-capitalist sentiment expressed in some way or the other - if you've caught up with this series of articles, you already know this by now). Off-Peak takes place in a small train station that's absolutely bursting with character, with interesting people, amazing artwork, bizarre dialogue and scenery, and a general sense of playfulness that makes this short ride fun. It's free, so I'd highly recommend you check it out - if its special brand of bizarre surrealism appeals to you, I know the rest of his games will, too.
