Abandoned space station transformation game with extreme inflation themes
StashlyVN Review
The Station is a 62,000-word interactive fiction experience built in Twine that strips you of agency in the most deliberate way possible. You're a freelancer sent to investigate an abandoned processing facility on a remote moon, only to find yourself at the mercy of malfunctioning industrial equipment and bizarre transformative forces. ETN1(SS) Krok's game doesn't shy away from its premise: within minutes, you'll find yourself subjected to various forms of inflation—air, helium, slime, liquid—each with distinct mechanical and narrative consequences.
The gameplay revolves around exploration and consequence management within branching scenarios. Your choices matter less in determining outcome and more in determining which outcome befalls you, which aligns deliberately with the game's themes of lost agency and bodily autonomy. With 23 distinct endings split between male and female perspective playthroughs (10 and 13 respectively), replaying to see divergent paths becomes the core engagement loop. The developer has supplemented the text with 386 hand-drawn illustrations, including 9 endings with animated backgrounds, giving visual weight to transformations that might otherwise remain abstract.
The adult content here is explicit and thematic rather than incidental. Beyond inflation itself, the game incorporates object transformation (becoming a pool toy), oviposition, weight gain, bursting scenarios, and non-consensual elements framed through hypnosis and drugging mechanics. There are borderline gore elements present. The tone is clinical-meets-surreal: you're being processed, consumed, and reconstituted by an indifferent facility. This isn't erotica seeking arousal through intimacy; it's fetish content exploring dehumanization and loss of form.
Technically, The Station runs entirely in Twine and bundles art offline for faster loading. The developer notes that flashing images can be disabled via the readme if photosensitivity is a concern. Approximate playtime per route varies, though with 23 endings, completionists should budget significant time.
Pros
- 386 hand-drawn illustrations integrate meaningfully with text rather than feel decorative

- Second-person perspective creates immersive unwilling-participant framing
- Offline art bundling and accessibility options (disableable flashing) show user consideration

Cons

- Borderline gore elements may trigger sensitive readers despite warning options
- Limited to players specifically interested in inflation/transformation fetish content
- No clear difficulty or pacing settings for managing content intensity
- Final version (0.14) means no post-launch updates or community iteration
