Derail

Welcome to DERAIL, a psychological observation horror game set deep within the decaying, endless concrete tunnels of the New York City subway. You are trapped underground in a looping transit environment where your only objective is to survive escalating reality fractures.

There is just one catch: Keep your camera ready and watch the platform.

As you progress deeper into the transit network, the underground reality begins to fray. Commuter posters twist, flickering fluorescent lights hum with malice, shadows detach from the pillars, and wrong things wait on the dark tracks. To fix the corruption and advance to the next station, you must raise your camera, line up your viewfinder with the glitch, and snap a photograph to cleanse reality before time runs out.

🚇 Gameplay Features

• The Station Trial: Survive a grueling sequence of  underground checkpoints. The deeper you go into the dark subway lines, the more aggressive, unsettling, and hidden the anomalies become.

• Interactive Photography Mechanic: Don't just spot the problem—capture it on film. Raise your camera, frame the distortion through the lens, and take the shot to snap the station back to normal.

• Hand-Crafted Anomaly Pools: Featuring a carefully structured library of unique, anomalies tailored to an authentic underground transit setting. Every spatial glitch, creepy passenger shift, and asset distortion is custom-built to test your perception.

• High Replayability: Randomized runs ensure you will only see a fraction of the total horrors on your first successful escape, driving you back into the loop to uncover everything.

• Atmospheric Transit Tension: Authentic NYC-inspired station ambience, echoing train screeches, flickering lights, and minimalist sound design create a thick, suffocating underground dread.

🕹️ The Rules Are Simple

• Scan the station platform carefully as you enter each new round.

• Raise your camera when you spot a distortion twisting the environment.

• Capture the photo of the anomaly to fix it and advance to the next stop.

Trust your viewfinder. If something looks wrong on the platform, frame it and shoot before it's too late.
