What Makes Station 117 Stand Out
"Glitch Games has a way of creating great atmosphere in their games, and their puzzles … are always satisfying and feel within reach." – Jared Nelson | TouchArcade
Station 117 is a first-person point and click mystery adventure game.
In an undisclosed location, somewhere on the floor of the Pacific ocean, is Station 117 – a classified research facility doing totally secret work. Seriously, don’t ask what they’re doing. Sometimes even they don’t know.
However, as it always does, something went wrong.
As Franklin Gates – genius, billionaire, playboy, amateur marine biologist – you’ve grown up with the stories, never really believing them to be true.
Until today.
Due to your unlimited curiosity, and let’s face it dumb stupidity, you go inside.
What you discover will change everything.

Community Insight:
This is a great game, like all the glitch games. This is the most challenging of any played so far. We found ourselves using more hints than Im accustomed to. But overall, very clever, and we had a lot of fun playing it.
Shortly after getting this game, we started playing and the whole thing froze. We had to quit out. On restart, it worked for a few minutes, then froze again. The next day we decided to give it another go, and this time we were able to play through the remainder of the game. But the fact that we had encountered such a slew of bugs made us wonder at every puzzle if there was another glitch. This made us far more reliant on hints than we would have normally been, because we felt we had to keep checking that we were solving a puzzle and not dealing with an error. Had we played through it without bugs, we think we would have quite enjoyed it. So Im sad that our system crashed with this game. Our wife played through the game on her own without encountering any bugs, and she enjoyed it thoroughly.
Way better than one of this developers other puzzle games that was recently on sale, Great Escapes (that one was buggy, awful and just not fun). This game is nicely polished, our only complaint is that we did not think many of the puzzles really made sense. Im a big fan of classic adventure games, escape rooms, and puzzles in general. Its likely really tricky to get the difficulty level right. This game comes close, but we felt like we needed to consult hints a bit more than we normally like to in puzzle games.
Always love Glitch games! We found this one a bit shorter than the others, but still great puzzles, great storyline, and great graphics. We did need a few hints, especially the Wilson puzzle, but we finally got it.
Love the story and the puzzles, it reminds us of a movie and one of the characters Overall we really enjoyed this one. Good job.
All Glitch Games we've ever played are wonderful, and this is no exception. We played this one the day it came out. More please.
Ive played all of Glitchs titles and this is one of the best. Harder than most – we did have to use one hint on the keys puzzle (that was a stretch) but we thought all of the other puzzles were totally solvable (again, though, not easy and some took a little thinking and writing things on paper). Anyone who calls this game short used too many hints. So, for our money, the game lasted more than a few days playing on and off. We totally recommend and hope to see another game soon.
Another great! Ive purchased everything from glitch cause their games are exactly what we look for when we want a fun challenge! Nothing tops Glitch.
Fantastic, eerie, well-made game with unusual puzzles and a nice sense of humor.
Cant get enough of their games! Ditto to all the other review comments, Im giving our brain a break right now.
Such and excellent point and click adventure! Tough puzzles, cool environment, beautiful, thematic art style, an absolute joy to play! Keep them coming, Glitch Games.
Im really happy Glitch went back to what we feel is their strength – the suspenseful, story-driven adventure game. This one is awesome. Great graphics, game play and story. The puzzles arent easy and it took awhile for us to figure things out. The hint system is top notch. We love games with puzzles that challenge us in a reasonably logical way and this one did that. Plenty of scenes and puzzles. Humorous tidbits throughout were much appreciated. Just the right length for us at a great price. Just buy it.
Great game. Cant wait for the next great game from Glitch.
These adventure games are so much fun. Station 117 has interesting clues, fantastic puzzles, and if you need a little hint they are there too. Over too soon.
We always enjoy Glitch Games and this was no exception. More difficult than other Glitch games (at least for us) but well worth it.
So much fun, amazingly beautiful artwork, compelling story, and puzzles that were a perfect amount of difficulty (with solid Glitch-style humor.) we hate games that just hand you the answers, our puzzle self-esteem doesnt want a red lollipop and pat on the head. This was perfect. Thank you Glitch.
Thank you for such another incredible game! Please keep them coming they are our lifeblood.
At first we thought this one was going to be over our heads, but we quickly got back in the Glitch Games groove and LOVED it. Easily one of our favorite developers. We cant wait for the next one. (Oh, and Glitch Games humor gives us life.).
Another fantastic release from Glitch! This game was like a mini-Veritas and reminiscent of the older Glitch games (All that remains, Forever Lost). Although we having been longing for another long game, we can understand the hard work and time that goes into these shorter ones. We also reap the benefit by getting new games much more often. We truly hope that Glitch continues to expand on this storyline by offering new segments every few months. This is by far our favorite shorter release since Veritas itself. Keep up the great work.
This is the first game we have played by this developer and though it was glitchy at times and shorter than we expected, we really enjoyed it. We played on an iPhone so we wondered if that may have caused some of our issues. Great game though and will definitely buy more by this developer.
Hi, normally we adore Glitch Games but this one is a slight clunker. We got different times on the time generator in Chapter 2. Not sure how 10:50 showed up for us. The times were also in a different order. The game overall is quite good although the riddles are more nonsensical than Ive come to expect from this company. Overall, we would suggest it but dont be afraid to seek help with the clock puzzle.
Its shorter than we were expected, but for a few bucks, that seems fine. Ive played all the glitch games and usually dont need hints. We needed hints on this one and even after reading them, we thought well, that makes no sense.
This game was very good and had a great storyline but even with the hints the game is really difficult and we were only able to get through it with a guide so if your planning on getting it be smart.
We love Glitch games but two puzzles were a reach.
Its a fun game, but many of the puzzles are ridiculous. It takes so much meticulous thinking that we had to use many hints, making it not as fun.
Its alright we guess. Really short compared to others. Kinda regret paying but it was worth a couple hours fun.
Have always enjoyed Glitch Games, but this one started crashing every time we tried to access our photo album in the game rendering it unplayable. Hopefully theyll fix that glitch no pun intended.
We love Glitch games, but hate the glitches This particular game has been rendered unplayable because we cant open the photo album no matter what scene Im in without the whole game closing. Tried rebooting our device, restarting the game, etc. And nothing resolves the problem. We were reallllly enjoying it until this biggest glitch started happening! Theres something specific we really needed to refer to in our photos, but obviously cant access it now and sadly dont even remember exactly what it was we kept in our photo album that we knew was important.
Everytime we try to open our photos folder, the game crashes.
Like many Glitch games, this has quite a few puzzles that simply dont make sense. Its also quite short, and the navigation (pressing the arrow button to leave rooms) is not as elegant as games like The Room where you can navigate by pinching in or out.
Multiple crashes and lock ups on Ventura 13.4.1 (c).
We love their games, especially the Forever Lost series, but this game is very problematic. There is a serious lag when dealing with the photo album. By the time we got to chapter two, activating or trying to use the features of the photo album kicked us out of the game fairly consistently. We tried to persevere, but having to restart our game over and over has eliminated our desire to play. We will probably delete this app and look elsewhere for a developer that produces similar type games.
Glitch is a good name. We are somewhat starting out (we hope) & the game is malfunctioning and then quitting on its own. This sort of frustration we dont need to pay for.
The graphics and sounds are amazing. However, the puzzles are illogical. Im all about puzzle games. But these are not puzzles that you can deduce any answers to. Many require a lot of guessing unless you use the hints. Hints should be hidden in the game to be discovered by the player. If impossible puzzles arent your thing, maybe try a different game.
A series of tedious combination lock puzzles that use the environment in completely implausible ways. At the end we had no idea what the point of it all was what happened as a result of our actions. At least the graphics are good.
But it kept crashing when trying to solve a puzzle every time we opened our photo journal. Disappointing.
The puzzles in this game seem like they werent thought out at all. Like the one with a clock and Roman numerals which are essentially pointless. It definitely isnt worth the money.
Not special, just like any other mystery game like this.
We bought this game for our YouTube channel every time Id upload with this title or anything showing the game immediately copyrighted even then it wasent even a good game to play one of the worst games Ive ever played we want a refund.
Usually a fan of Glitch games but we had to restart twice when photo album crashed the game. Unless you enjoying starting from the beginning, wait until they debug the photo album before making this purchase.
We anxiously await every game from Glitch, and this one didnt disappoint. Their games are always clever, funny, and intriguing, and hard enough that you feel accomplished when you finish without being so difficult as to be frustrating. We cant wait until the next one! Highly recommended.
Great game. Loved the environments, loved the story. Very intriguing. Glitch never disappoints. We hope they make a sequel.
Yet another great game from Glitch. S117 has a great storyline, filled with Glitch brand humor and excellent puzzles that make you think outside the box! From multistep puzzles to others that are obvious (we still tend to overthink them anyway), this is a great game for all! The art department did outstanding work on the beautiful scenes. Ive already gifted to several friends to play. Keep up the amazing work guys! Congrats on another great game.
We love glitch games so much. Yes it was a little shorter than some previous games but come on people! For the low price of just a couple dollars it was amazing! We found it took us about 4- 5 hours over a couple evenings. Some of the puzzles were tricky. Id rather have more shorter games than to have to wait 6 months or more for a longer game sometimes.
What a treat for the holidays (Thanksgiving in America)! Just finished this most excellent challenge from the creative folks at Glitch Games. We like the sci-fi adventure storyline coupled with unusual puzzles and detailed surroundings. And the hint feature is very nice; just enough to get us unstuck. Thanks.
We adore all of the Glitch games, and it feels like Christmas every time a new one is released. This one is on the quicker side, but full of fun puzzles and an intriguing story. Just remember, if youre ever stuck in a glitch game theres probably a pun involved and you are going to groan when you finally figure it out.
Love the games by Glitch Games.
Another amazing and wonderful game from Glitch. This game is so much fun. Its got original, clever puzzles that are tricky and challenging in all the best ways. Its got beautiful graphics, an intriguing story, smooth gameplay, in-game hints, and the really fun humor weve come to expect from this dev. Thank you Glitch guys for another great game! Weve come to expect the best from you and this one does not disappoint.
Great game and story line, loved the graphics. Had to use a few hints at times. We would love to see a continuation of All That Remains one of favorites and have been waiting so long for a 2nd part.
But short or Im getting better at glitch games~2 hours of playing time.
