If you fail to meet their needs they will die and the only real consequence is you miss out on a couple hundred dollars when the train rolls up to the next station. This is also easily accomplished by taking either food or medicine out of your storage and bring it to them. They need food and medical attention almost non stop the whole time they are on the train. You also have to keep the passengers you pick up alive during the extent of their stay on board. You have to keep the train running by fixing several components that keep breaking down on your train which can be done with a few simple button presses. The Final Station is split into two gameplay segments. It is your job to drive an experimental train carrying important cargo to the final station, helping ferry people out of dangerous locals on the way. The art style though simplistic is fairly detailed and with a very moody well done score the music nicely makes you feel the despair of your environment. The Atmosphere has a pretty solid apocalyptic vibe going for it.

There are some small cut scenes that play out pivotal story bits, but you will very well find yourself lost with whats going on if your not really doing your reading and finding all of the written dialog scattered throughout the game.

So what is the visitation all about? Well that part gets a little foggy. In The Final Station its called the “visitation” and you are in fact living and playing through the events leading up to the second visitation. Its something we have seen a hundred times before and it also happens to be one of my favorite setting when done well. The Final Station for Nintendo Switch shares a common theme that we are all used to by now, apocalyptic, end of the world, zombie/infected scenario.
