Short description
You’re on duty at crossing #13. Keep an eye on the tracks, repair the sleepers, open the barriers for trains, cars, and people. Something in the woods is barking… and it’s calling you.
About this game
Barking from the Dark - is a first-person horror game about a lonely night shift worker at a remote railway crossing. At first, the routine seems simple: tighten the bolts, raise the barriers, let trucks and heavy freight trains from the mines pass through. But the previous operator disappeared after answering the call of a strange barking coming from the forest. All that remains is a note — and the unsettling feeling that the shadows between the trees are moving on their own. The Night Is Full of Secrets Repair the rails under flickering signal lights and answer calls from the dispatcher. But with every passing hour, the forest comes alive — the barking grows louder, closer, more insistent. What’s hiding out there? Dogs? Or something far worse? Alone Against the Darkness The tiny control room is your only island of light. An old computer, mechanical control panels, instructions pinned to the walls. Everything that separates you from whatever lurks outside. An Abyss Beneath Your Feet The trains cannot be stopped. The connection breaks. The wells lead downward. Descend into a Psychological Nightmare Routine work slowly turns into a desperate fight for survival. No cheap jump scares — only mounting tension, where fear is born from loneliness, silence, and the unknown.
