Evaluation

Saihate Station is a free-to-play exploration/horror/adventure game that launched on Steam on March 7, 2025. The game released with one artbook DLC on the same day, followed by the "Twilight Railway" expansion DLC on April 18, 2025 — a completely original ruined railway horror story. A second artbook associated with the Twilight Railway DLC was released on November 5, 2025, rounding out the DLC catalogue. All three listed DLC items are now released. Since launch, the developer has been actively supporting the game with patches, bug fixes, and language additions. The Twilight Railway DLC received English and Thai language support on December 3, 2025, fulfilling a commitment made at DLC launch. Additional volunteer-translated languages have been added over time: Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian, and French in August 2025, and Turkish in April 2026. The most recent developer communication was on April 10, 2026. There are no unreleased DLC items, no announced future content, and no roadmap pointing to upcoming additions. The developer's post-launch activity has shifted entirely to language localisation patches and bug fixes — maintenance work rather than new content. No new major content has been announced since Twilight Railway launched in April 2025. The game appears to have reached its complete state with the release of the final artbook DLC on November 5, 2025.

About this game

"After falling asleep on the last train, I woke up in a bizarre place called Saihate Station..."

An exploration/horror/adventure game about the codependent, love-hate relationship between two men.

The main characters Haru Akinashi and Shion Tatsunami are both 26 years old and work in the same company.

Since Haru joined the company two months earlier, Shion calls him "Senpai."

They are complete opposites: Shion is cheerful and adept at everything, while Haru is a slow worker who lacks confidence.

Feeling inferior, and even a little envious, Haru starts to distance himself from Shion.

But a twist of fate brings both of them to Saihate Station, where they make a promise to work together and return home.

Their interactions are awkward at first, given the estrangement, but with each problem they overcome together, Haru recalls their former friendship, and their bond grows stronger than before.

Then, the whole truth of Saihate Station is revealed.

What will become of their feelings? And what are their destinations?

The two get along well, being the same age, but Haru starts to distance himself from Shion due to feelings of inferiority and even envy.

● Shion Tatsunami

An office worker at the same company as Haru, whom he calls "Senpai."

He appears to be talented, cheerful and kind, but the truth is...
