COAGULATION STATION is a short atmospheric horror game that blends cosmic horror with dark absurdist humor. Maintain a malfunctioning blood rig located deep within the universe's only 'Living Planet' and experience the horrors that lurk within.

Your job is to look after one of the various blood rigs that supply the surface with 'Product'. But beware, the pipes tend to suck up all manner of things in addition to blood. Worryingly, there is a rumor going around about the existence of "something big" lurking within the throbbing depths below...
Will you survive to pay off your debt or become another "workplace accident" for the company to downplay?

Bug: victory elevator can pin you to the wall
very nice little experience. i do wish there was an options menu and the ability to save though
a bloody great game! i really enjoyed myself, and the gameplay loop isn't boring whatsoever. i love the worldbuilding behind it, the art style, and want to know more about this world. for the company! kudos
Such a fun game. It's definitely a unique atmosphere and concept! Also it was totally worth it to try to find the secret good ending! I wish there was a mouse sensitive slider but other than that I have no gripes with the game. Perfect execution!
Game requires at least windows 10 to run. (createfile2 error on kernel32.dll)
Really nice game and phenomenal execution. Love the atmosphere and style.
Really liked how it's made and the whole mechanics and story of it! Click bellow if you want to see the Dark Ending
ALL ABOARD! CHOO-CHOO!
(I hate the idea of a Clot Dog but I also must try it).
I LOVED this game Iron Lung vibes, I cant wait to see what else you make!! i played this in my 3 scary games video (number 2) and it did not disappoint at all please do play this and show this dev some love!
Love it!
I will not even look at my own blood the same after this!
I liked the whole "living planet" sci-fi story.
It's a challenging game for sure, let alone the grotesque part of it.
Well done!
ngl this game is one of the best i've played so far
Genuinely one of the most complete horror games I've played on Itch.io, well done!
Loved this! The world building was fun and the gameplay was wild, great work :D
This game is actually fun and I had a blast going through the process of maintining a "BLOOD" Station:
Muito Bom!
Gostei muito da criatividade na escolha da temática do jogo, todo esse contexto de trabalhar em um planeta vivo extraindo sangue é bem legal, me deixou bem curioso pelo resto do universo do jogo, seria bem legal ter outro jogo explorando um pouco mais a lore do planeta!
Hey!
I was wondering if you’ll add other languages to your game, if needed I can help with the translation!
Sorry it took so long to get the video up. This one was special.
A 'Bloody' good experience, heh. A few thoughts:
-I found the secret way to survive the Surge Event without calling the elevator, among the other secrets/endings was good fun.
-I was disappointed that I could not disrespect the Clot Grinder.
-It would be great if the game could be expanded upon with more level's/gameplay.
The premise is that you have 53,000 Kcr of debt, earn 9,800 kcr/h at what seems like 1 hour (or half an hour) per shift. So you'd need approximately 5 and a half hours to pay your debt. Given that there are at least 3 other rigs, it leaves an interesting opportunity to expand on the game for players to work shifts on those other rigs, and/or locations to ultimately pay off their debt.
Either way, good work!
Fun game!
Simple mechanics, an eerie, dark industrious environment. Multiple Endings and SECRETS to be found! Fun back story and Dialog via the in game notes.. Great experience!
Dude I loved this game!
The story was great and don't even get me started on the atmosphere amazing job dude.
Honestly had so much fun with it!
Iron Lung type vibe. Really great on the atmosphere. Laughed at the Half-Life type sfx with one of the clots. Finale wasn't as scary as it could have been, but really decent game. I enjoyed having the feeling of safety in a cage/suit.

This game was fantastic, easily one of the more polished games I've played on this website, great job! Here's my playthrough if you'd like to watch
I would rate the game a solid 10/10.
If this is your first and only game, I hope you make another game eventually. I wish this was a paid product so I could support the developers!
I played the game live on my Twitch stream here!
The VOD, by the time you're reading this, shouldn't be too old
iron lung 2 cool
Really nice atmosphere and game. I really like how you made use of the lore to boost the creep factor. Nice job.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont
muy buen juego
Really Good Game cant wait to see more
NAHH THAT WAS ACTUALLY SCARY
Really like the idea of the gameAn amazing game, i love the atmosphere you guys made it feel very creepy! thanks for reaching out on one of my videos as well!
This is a great little game, probably am going to explore more of it again!
Came back to try this again and successfully got that Clot Dog this time! This was still very tense and stressful despite being my second time playing it, I've never gotten this much anxiety in a game just from sound alone, than I did during the last minute before the seismic event and getting on the elevator. Those almost heartbeat like drums plus the ticking of the countdown trigger so much anxiety, it's insane, really well done. I will say though, that killing the creature was a tad underwhelming, I kinda expected it to put up more of a fight and it ended up being a bit anticlimatic for it to just... float there. Other than that, amazing game.
amazing game i was not expecting to see a giant sea monster lol
/editVery well put-together game. Not sure how you any endings other than the dark one, but I had a grand time trying.
This was a really scary and interesting game and concept! I can't wait to see what other games you guys make!
