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?

No. Nope. Nopedinope! I probably was too lucky at the beginning and felt so safe to... Awesome atmosphere, anomalies are very well done: Very scary ones, some less scary but still giving this very uncomfortable feeling and that's not all of it - not the regular anomaly-game I expected!
Absolutly worth playing. Interesting anomalies, haven't got all of them right now. I'm exited to see how the game will continue and teach me horror ;-) All in all, it's an inexpensive game with spooky content for a little horror in between. Thanks to the developer :-)
au top !
This was fun
gets more scary than I like to admit, can get frustrating at times but feels very rewarding once you manage to get through. I think this would be amazing in VR, but it's still worth playing
game was way too dark??? no idea why, can't adjust gamma, etc. Can't turn off motion blur. Game should really start with the obvious anomalies first, and then the subtle ones afterwards. Too frustrating, not fun to play. Really wanted to enjoy this game too, disappointed with performance issues.
ENG: The first game from a small developer team and it feels great. Very good graphics and well explained game mechanics that feel rewarding, even though "dropping back" to the first platform is annoying, it never feels frustrating, because you learn from every setback. Nice different anomalies that aren't too hard but not too easy either. Really on point. All in all: For 5 euros, it's an absolute must-buy that offers even more hours of play with the Endless Mode and is really worth every cent. Hope to see more from the developers!Das erste Spiel eines kleinen Developerteams und es fühlt sich super rund an. DE: Sehr gute Grafik und gut erklärte Spielmechaniken, die sich rewarding anfühlen, auch wenn das "zurückdropen" auf die erste Plattform blöd ist, fühlt es sich nie frustrierend an. Schöne unterschiedliche Anomalien, die nicht zu schwer, aber auch nicht zu einfach sind. Wirklich on point. Alles in allem: Für 5 Euro ein absoluter Pflichtkauf, der mit dem Endless Mode sogar noch mehr Spielstunden bereit hält und so echt jeden Cent wert ist. Hoffe noch mehr von den Entwicklern zu sehen!
Short, but good game. Couple of great jump scares lol. The added layer of the dark levels was amazing and I wish more games did that. Only negative is that u cannot change mouse sensitivity and it is insanely high even with my mouse's lowest DPI setting. Worth the price
I'm scared and paranoid what is real and what is not was this coffee cup here on my desk before "panic looking for a train in my room"
