About

Departed is an anomaly detection game, where you are stuck inside a looping subway system. To escape the loop and win the game, you must explore your surroundings and identify anomalies that differ from the original environment. Only by boarding the correct train 9 consecutive times will you reach your goal. Can you trust your memory? Can you make your way through the endless platforms, or will you get lost forever?

Upon your first arrival on the platform, start exploring your surroundings and memorize every detail. With each new iteration of the platform, stay alert for changes—big or small, visual or acoustic. Every difference matters. If you spot an anomaly, return to the train you came from. If you are sure there is nothing out of the ordinary, go ahead and board the train across. A correct decision will bring you closer to your goal, but a mistake will send you back to the beginning instead.

In Departed you are looking for your closest friend, who went missing without saying goodbye. Before the disappearance, you often talked about exploring a local urban legend found in a mysterious subway station. Following this lead you soon find yourself caught in a loop, where the only way to escape is to play by the game’s rules.
Can you trust yourself? Will you find your way through the seemingly endless platforms and learn what happened to your friend? Or will you get lost forever in the subway system?

I bought this game thinking it would be somewhat similar to The Cabin Factory which i think was really great game especially for it's price. Unfortunately I was disappointed as it didn't deliver as much as a fraction of what The Cabin Factory did. The ambient starts really strong from the very beginning giving the feeling that something's coming, but the only thing that is coming is boredom and lack of hope for anything interesting to happen. The so called "anomalies" are uninspired and underwhelming for example: additional graffiti on one of the signs. The fact that you have to look for them really hard and often miss them because they're way to subtle kills the atmosphere and makes it boring, and in the long term irritating as you fail for the x time in the row to find "anomaly". All the anomalies that I did encounter were with one exception(phone ringing) just static things, with no additional effects that were just waiting there for me look at them and go back. No animations, no light flickering, not even one cliche jumpscare, which at this point would actually do some good for this game. After 1.5h I just gave up, at this point I was walking for up to 10min around each station looking for some small details that changed and still failing to do so in most cases. So i wan't be coming back to it and i can't really recommend it to anyone. Don't waste your money on this when You can buy The Cabin Factory for even less and get much more value out of it.
Cool game and awesome puzzles! The atmosphere is kind of scary, has some kind of horror factor and kept me pushing. Definitely a recommondation!
Very cool anomaly game! Was too scared to finish the game on my own and got some help, while hiding behind the chair. In Germany we say "s'sch gruselig!"²
fun little anomaly detection game the devs must be really handsome
Nice game in the Exit 8 type genre! Some of the anomalies are obvious and some are really tough to catch. Definitely spend some extra time looking at every detail in the baseline room. I appreciate the level of detail in the anomalies, though some might find it to be too difficult. There is quite a bit to look at. Also, without spoiling, really interesting take on the progression of the game and ultimately winning.
Just finished the game's story mode. A very fantastic realistic anomaly game with a wide variety of cool anomalies and levels. Highly enjoyed this one extremely fun and recommended
From all the anomaly detection games I've played, this is by far the best one, and the only one that makes me come back to keep playing and get the final achievements (reach station 100 in endless mode and find all anomalies). It's a very good and well developed idea for this type of game, graphics are top notch. I found it very interesting that the game offers two scenarios: light and dark - each one with it's own set of anomalies. The dev fixed a game breaking bug in endless mode so, kudos to that - I am changing my review to positive as promised. Looking forward for more games like this from you, perhaps you can even update this game with more anomalies and achievements.
Recommended. Good variety of anomalies, haven't seen all of them by far yet!
