Train Depart
A downloadable game for Windows
PLOT
A young boy travels alone by train, while his family waits for him after their plane flight to relatives living abroad. During this train ride, he becomes the subject of a series of events which could lead to no good. How would this ride go for you if you were in his place? Will your actions lead you to salvation, or will you become a tragic victim of a crime?
GAMEPLAY
This is a short, atmospheric psychological horror prototype where you play as a 16-year-old boy experiencing his first long train ride. You can interact with strangers on the train, play games, and do routine things that people do during train trips.
NOTES
This is the first game I've had the courage to reveal to the public. It was created as a result of my personal 1-month "game jam". I hope you'll enjoy it! The game is in the prototyping stage, where I'm trying to figure out its strengths and weaknesses to create a final version of the game and possibly a series of small, unrelated, creepy, edge-of-your-seat stories.
While developing, I was heavily inspired by the Fears To Fathom episodic psychological horror games. You should play them if you like horror games!
Average Gameplay Time: 10-15 minutes
CONTROLS

Cool! Why is this game not popular?
Really good game!
Nice and creepy,
Very good game.
Its a good gaming experience. I really enjoy play this game. Keep up the good work
muy buen juego algo entretenido y con una trama muy interesante
wow that was awesome
Nice, and there are even Czech subtitles! :D.
A great atmosphere ! Not really a horror game BUT the atmosphere is a bit creepy and gave me shivers... Can't wait to see more of your games !
GAMEPLAY in French
1) Never accept opened soda cans (even if it comes from someone in authority)
2) Don't talk to strangers on a train. Most of the time they'll give you their life story. Other times they'll just come off as creepy.
3) If you find yourself with a block of the Bolivian marching powder - stick it down your pants and sell that stuff ASAP. You'll be rich and have stories to tell the grandkids...
Overall, Train Depart puts the player in familiar territory to the Fears To Fathom game series - a 16 year old travelling solo for the first time finds himself in a pickle when he discovers a strange bag in the train's toilet...
There was an engaging story here, complete with texts from parents and friends, a nice mechanic with a game-within-a-game (even if it was an idle clicker) and some shady characters to boot. Caused an uneasiness throughout and made you realise that sometimes the most innocuous places can cause fear and dread. A few grammatical errors throughout kept this from the lofty highs of games of similar ilk.
Un des meilleurs jeux que j'ai trouvé sur itch ! Super histoire, ambiance, décors.. // One of the best games I've found on itch! Great story, atmosphere, scenery...
Literally made me Poop my pants...

People are so quick to use fictional monsters as the scary element in horror games, and they forget that there are real life experiences than can be just as creepy and unsettling, if not more. I can't even imagine how scary it must be to experience something like this. The dev(s) did an excellent job in making the player uneasy and uncomfortable, this was a great game. I did accidentally break it though hahaha 23:26 marks the start of me bugging the game, cause I don't know how to explain what I did without spoiling the experience for anyone that didn't play it
Fire Game Played it With other games
Muito legal, tem muito a vibe de Fears To Fathom!
Very cool! It has a lot of the Fears To Fathom vibe!
This is the game that started it all for my channel. Took me for 26 Subscribers to 100. Pls like & subscribe, I’m just trying to grow my channel!! 👊🏽😎
Had a ton of laughs with this game. Great stuff.
I enjoyed this game very much & clicking the cats was 10/10
Great game. Gave me a lot of F2F vibes
хотелось бы больше разветвлений и концовок: 1. не пить газировку, что привело бы к конфликту с дилером 2. подкинуть наркотики кому-то в чемодан 3. не смывать наркотики и подчиниться дилеру (где можно было бы ничего не делать, а можно было бы и через сообщения попросить помощи)
Cant get past the food on the train, space and escape dont work in that part.
Sorry for the late reply! Did you try to eat food, by clicking on it? Player should be able to stand up after you finish all your meal. Please notify me if you'll give it a try, and it won't work again!
I didnt have mouse in that scene, i tried clicking around but i couldnt see where i was clicking, it didnt seem to do anything anyway. the only thing that still worked was crouching for some reason. despite being in the seat i could still crouch.
Aside from some bugs that required restarting the game, you really captured the Fears To Fathom type vie and made a really good game! The allusions to always having to look out for something, the constant creepiness always there, and the overall story and how it went, were all done well! It was a really streamlined and well put together game with all the story, environment and everything else, good job on it and cannot wait for more!
This was so well made and creepy. I love it! 10/10
Yo, funny time! I loved the short story. Was it real?
PLAYED IT FIRE
Very creepy! Looking forward to more :)
