‘Railroad Tracks’ Grows More Sinister as You Wander

A circus artist meanders through a surreal, gloomy night, unsettling memories slowly returning to him throughout Railroad Tracks.

You’ll join this artist on his evening walk, steadily moving away from the comforting safety of the rigid railroad tracks and into a world that shifts and breaks around you. Your goal is to move into these dangerous renditions of reality and seek out things that will trigger the artist’s memories, but this process may be painful and terrifying, calling up an unpleasant past.

You won’t be alone on these streets and surreal locales, either, as demons and apparitions are skulking about this bleak world. Why they are there may become clear as you unearth more memories in this frightening place, but the main character may not like the answers he receives.

Railroad Tracks is a creepy walk away from reality, but don’t forget that those tracks can lead you back to safety again should you need a little break. Sometimes, after all, forgetting is better than remembering.

Railroad Tracks is available for free on Itch.io, GameJolt, and Steam.
