Platform Zero is a slow-burn psychological horror walking-sim about the weight of staying silent.

You play Rafiq, a tea stall vendor working the night shift alone on a half-abandoned railway platform. There's no combat and no health bar here — just the ordinary rhythm of the job: pouring tea, restocking the fridge, logging the manifest, watching the departure board between customers. Night after night, that ordinariness starts to come apart at the edges, and the platform begins asking a question Rafiq has spent eleven years avoiding.

This is horror built on implication and dread rather than jump-scare spectacle, closer in spirit to Fears to Fathom, Devotion, and Paratopic. What you notice, what you remember, and what you choose to say out loud actually matters — the game is quietly keeping track.

This build is a work in progress. Feedback is very welcome.
