Introduction

You are a detective aboard a transcontinental train where the shadows are as dangerous as the passengers. Every time the lights flicker and go out, a scream echoes through the metallic corridors: another victim has fallen. Your mission: identify and eliminate the killer before your mind unravels. As the journey progresses, the line between reality and hallucination blurs. Are you hunting a killer, or are you losing your grip on reality?

How to Play

Navigation: Use WASD to move through the train cars and the mouse to investigate the environment.

The Case File: Press [E] to open your detective file. Here, you track passengers and mark evidence. Use the mouse to select a suspect's ID and the side buttons to "Discard" or "Mark as Target."

Investigation: Search for clues after a blackout. The state of the train changes with each event: new bloodstains, displaced objects, or missing passengers.

Confrontation: Once you have your objective clear, use your markers to prepare for the final confrontation. But be careful: accusing the wrong person could increase your paranoia.

Gameplay Tips

The Paranoia Meter: Pay attention to visual distortions. They could help you. This happens faster if you remain in the dark or witness murders.

Flickering Warning: When the lights go out, you'll have seconds before total darkness. Use this time to find a spot where you can see the other passengers.

Gameplay Guide

The First Car: Start by observing the passengers in your car. Use your notebook to note their initial positions.

The First Blackout: A trigger zone in the next car will activate the lights-out. When the lights come back on, find the body. Note the identification of anyone who moved suspiciously in your notebook.

Paranoia: As the murders continue, your paranoia begins to rise.

The Execution: Once you've identified the suspect through the events, you must act. The game ends when the killer is apprehended... or when the killer catches you.
