The Bus Stop
The Bus Stop is a retro-style horror game taking place in a twisted nightmare. You play as Edward, a man who finds himself trapped on a foggy road in the middle of the woods, with only a bus stop to keep him company.
Before long, things start to change. He begins to see and hear things. The Bus Stop begins to feel alive, as it proceeds to torment him. Can he find a way out, or will he succumb to his despair?
Development History
The Bus Stop originally began as a short story that I had in mind, but I decided it would be a fun idea to turn it into a game.
Work on this project began mid-way through 2023, and I went in with the hopes of making this into a commercial game to be released on Steam. While completion is quite some time away, it is something I would like to finish.
Features
-A show; don't tell narrative that makes you think
-Creepy atmosphere that is sure to keep you on edge
-Multiple endings that give more insight into what's going on
-Varied gameplay, with platforming and puzzles
-Scattered notes and objects that hook you into this twisted world
Future Plans
As I mentioned before, I hope to release The Bus Stop on platforms such as Steam, as well as Itch.io. As for when this will happen, I'm not sure, but I hope to get it finished sometime in 2025. It's an ambitious game, and I want to give it the care it deserves.
To track my development, I use Trello. Here I can lay out everything I need to do in an easy to comprehend way, while also setting deadlines for specific tasks. I set myself weekly sprints so that I know what work needs to be completed each week.
