A game about getting lost in a city you don't know and becoming immersed in a culture totally alien to you. Strange without becoming obnoxious and aurally engaging, with fantastic sound design in general. Try it! It's free!!

This monolith of a gem has always occupied a very small and precious part of my mind.
I'll share what I wrote on the creator's very own discord here:

"Hey guys I don't want to type out a whole essay so ill stick to the main bits:

When off peak came out I just so happened to find it way back in high school freshman year through a youtuber named vinesauce who also streamed every other cosmo d game so far

it quickly became something that always occupied a space in my mind, the strange eerrie ness of the game and the amazing sound track showed me something incredible, that a game with minimal mechanics but pure atmosphere can tell a truly unique story in an even more unique world, the small segment of the off peak universe we get feels so deep and vast and its due to the fantastic compilation of music and visuals

recently, me and my partners in crime did a long ass road trip from colorado to california and back and at some point I put on the off peak ost as the sun was setting as we approached the rocky mountains, the vibes was immaculate and utterly terrifying.

thank you for gifting us off peak and other games from your marvelous studio cosmo D from the bottom of this late 20s adult loser's heart, thank you"
