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?

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.
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
starts game worst motion blur I've ever experienced actually disorienting me in real life bordering on physically painful can't be disabled refunds game
报玩,我找不着,老回一楼,好难啊啊啊啊,到底谁在通关啊???
Really enjoying the game's realistic visuals and spooky atmosphere! Finished the story mode in a bit over an hour, but will be back for the endless mode to spot some more anomalies.
Great realisation of the idea! Great atmosphere, some anomalies are not so easy to find. Very good graphics, great to play on any device. Addictive, want to relive the experience again and again. Thank you developers!
Sehr gut gemachtes Anomaliegame mit sehr sehr guten Horrorelementen. Definitiv weiter zu empfehlen.
This mini-game challenges players to spot anomalies in various scenes, but what starts as an intriguing puzzle quickly becomes a mental maze. It demands intense focus and a keen eye for detail—every object, movement, or slight color shift might hide an irregularity. The real test, however, lies in how it makes you second-guess everything, even yourself. Absolutly recommed!
"It's just walking around in the station, looking around, all on your own.. there's nothing else to do.. just try it! What can go wrong?" they said. They weren't wrong. Except for that constant feeling of not being alone and questioning every little detail you see and there are a lot of details to see. High quality graphics and sound design make it feel more real than comfortable.
Definitely a recommendation :) The game mechanics, the discovery of the anomalies, are great fun. The realization in the subway station with a horror feeling is also very well done.
