DERAIL

DERAIL is a horror anomaly game where instead of spotting anomalies you have to cleanse them with your camera to escape the loop.

Screenshots

From the Steam store

It's 2:47 AM. The last train is gone. You never left the station.

Every time you climb the stairs, you come back down onto the same platform. Same benches. Same posters. Same flickering lights. Almost.

Something here is always wrong. A clock running backwards. A newspaper held open by no one. A woman standing among the benches who wasn't there a moment ago.

You can't run from it. You can only photograph it. Your camera's flash erases what doesn't belong. Miss one, and the loop begins again.

The Rules Are Simple

Look closely. Learn the platform. Every bench, every poster, every light.

Spot what's wrong. Some anomalies are obvious. Some are barely there. Some move when you look away.

Photograph it. Raise your camera, zoom in, take the shot. If it was an anomaly, it's gone.

Reach Platform 10. Clear ten platforms to escape. Miss something, and you walk the same platform again.

Watch your battery. The camera drains while it's raised. When it dies, so do you.

A Pool of 45 Anomalies. No Two Runs Alike.

Hand-crafted anomalies, from the subtle to the deeply wrong, and none ever repeats within a run. A chalk outline that crawls closer every time you look away. A security monitor that shows someone standing exactly where you are. Polaroids falling from the ceiling, each one a photo of you. A map whose "You Are Here" marker follows you while something else crawls toward it.

The deeper you go, the stranger the station becomes. The fog closes in, the lights fail, and the station starts to rot around you.

She Is Always Watching

DERAIL doesn't scare you on a schedule. A hidden director picks its moment: when you turn around too fast, when you raise your camera, when you take a photo. Every scare plays once per run, and you'll never know which one is coming next.

Messages From M.

Someone was trapped here before you. M., a photographer, left messages on the walls of the station, visible only through your camera's lens. Find all eight to learn what M. learned, and how to get out.

Four Endings

How you play decides how your night ends. Reach the last train. See the morning. Or stay here forever. And for those who wander where they shouldn't, there's one more way out.

Features

A photography horror loop: spot it, shoot it, erase it.

A pool of 45 anomalies: each run draws a different set, so no two runs are alike.

A dynamic scare director: no fixed jumpscare spots, every run plays differently.

4 endings, including one secret ending.

Shot List challenges: optional photo tasks that recharge your battery.

Fully generated horror soundscape: no ambience loop ever plays twice in a run.

10 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Korean and Turkish.

Keep your camera ready. Watch the platform. Don't miss a thing.
