About The Derailed

The Derailed - a first-person psychological horror game in the "walking simulator" genre.

Average playtime: 80 minutes

Raindrops crash against the leaky roof, with a damp scent lingering in the air. Decades-worn walls, rattling window panes in the wind, and the hollow echo of footsteps — all around, the setting seems to repeatedly warn you that you don’t belong here. But there is no other choice; the only path is forward.

Game Features:

  • "Walking simulator" genre;
  • Interact with objects and solve puzzles to progress through the story;
  • Discover the secret hidden within an almost-forgotten depot;
  • Immerse yourself in a haunting environment with detailed locations;
  • Rich 3D sound that fully envelops you in the atmosphere;
  • Short playtime, allowing you to complete the game in one evening and maintain suspense until the very end.

The Derailed is a first-person psychological horror game that demonstrates how a focused concept and a carefully crafted atmosphere can leave a lasting impression without relying on lengthy gameplay or constant action. Set within a long-forgotten railway depot, the game places players in an unsettling environment where every abandoned room, rusted corridor, and weathered structure hints at a disturbing past waiting to be uncovered. Instead of immediately overwhelming players with obvious scares, it gradually builds tension through exploration and environmental storytelling, creating an experience that feels more like unraveling a haunting mystery than surviving a traditional horror adventure. The result is a slow-burning journey that consistently encourages curiosity while maintaining an ever-present feeling of unease. The gameplay centers on exploration, observation, and environmental puzzles rather than combat or survival mechanics. Players are expected to investigate every corner of the depot, inspect clues, interact with objects, and solve puzzles that naturally reveal more of the story. This design allows the narrative and atmosphere to remain the primary focus, rewarding pat…

I really enjoyed this game. The atmosphere was tense and unsettling the whole way. The lore is incredibly fascinating and I'd like to see more of it. It had some great scares and puzzles.

Ok. Let's Break This Down! :) I enjoyed this game and do recommend it to those who like shorter horror games that have a lot of lore to find. This helped paint a deeper and uglier scene of what was happening within the game. I can also say I took my time with this one as there was a lot to look at, and very subtle animations that I honestly didn't see all of till I was editing my video. But. Kudos to the developer for taking something and making it a reality; as twisted and as dark as it was. This game gave me a lot of information and left me digging into my game play searching for answers; although I believe I created more theories and questions than I originally had, but I still enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing more from this developer and think this game set a good precedent for any future games which I believe will be more polished and mission forward.

Wonderful game, nice graphics and atmosphere, diverse location, you don't get stuck anywhere. It's not too boring to read some useless notes. You don't have to die too often. A horror simulator of walking with screamers through surreal locations. No bugs were found, but there were FPS drawdowns in a couple of places.

This is a good game. Graphics are good, story is interesting. But keep in mind this game does not hold your hand. It requires the player to think things through.
