Barking From The Dark
A downloadable game for Windows
Railroad Crossing #13.
A forest surrounds the tracks.
No nearby towns.
No witnesses.
You are the new duty officer.
The previous one disappeared.
During your shift, you must manage the barriers, monitor the signals, and follow instructions from the dispatcher.
But something in the forest keeps barking.
And it doesn’t sound like a dog.
This demo lets you experience the beginning of the story.
• Operate a fully functional railroad crossing
• Monitor signals and electrical systems
• Explore the surrounding area
• Experience slow-burning psychological tension
• No cheap jumpscares

There was Barking and it was Dark! I want to know what the bigger story is! Why a mine? What is the antagonist(I think I have a clue from the promotional material)? What's beneath? I will wait patiently for the full release. In the meantime I made a video. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My gameplay here, check it out!
oh i loved this!!!!
Congratulations to all the creators of this indie game, the game is very good, good graphics, good sounds,y history I give you 5 stars, I want all the creators of this game to subscribe to my YouTube channel please, thank you, I am very excited about your subscription and support, greetings from Spain
Good game. Wish we saw more of the bad guy though. But still, very good game. :)
Really cool game. The graphics are very smooth for the style.
Game mechanics is easy to understand. Amazing graphics. I only wish the blinds can be raised in the control room so we can see a lot better when we're up there. But overall, such a great game. I look forward to the full game.
Hi there! I´d love to help with the spanish translation if you´re interested, if you do, here´s my mail: m4r1anmc1ntyre@gmail.com

Hi! Thank you so much, I really appreciate that
I’d definitely be interested — I’ll reach out to you by email soon!
I can't unzip a rar file, is there a way to turn it into a zip file?
Is this the last ride by any chances?
I liked the atmosphere here, I would have stayed a little longer
nice game, real scary
I liked the game and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
The game was horror, kind of creepy, and I didn’t really understand the story that well, but I saw that those 3 customers were mocking me and it felt like they were forcing me to leave too and sacrifice someone. Anyway, the game was good — looking forward to the next one!
ROMANIAN VIDEO !

Really good game enjoyed it definitely looking forward to play more of your games
This game really makes you think, not your typical horror style that you would usually see on Itch. it's actually very refreshing to see such an original idea. Great job Dev!
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)Do Play This Game. BTW The Main Menu Is Pretty Good
A nice, short horror game. I like this type of horror where instead of jumpscares - it's just overall scary and eerie. I really wish the City of Light was expanded upon more, hopefully you do in another game but this was great.
Here's my gameplay of it:
Rock n Roll
I loved this game! I did not expect the twist at the end whatsoever, although I do wish we could see what the City of Light looks like. Some kind of closure would be cool. Fun game!
I couldn't do it to Grandpa!
I don't have words. I'm still in shock after that twist. Great game. Great job. Tomorrow I still won't have words for what I just witnessed.
It;s the second game.This game turned real dark hella quick. I love the graphics in this game, absolutely beautiful, and I love the kiosk section, where every item has weight to it, the price etc. Great work, this was very detailed! Keep it up!!
loved the deeper thought this game can bring you...
لعبتكم خراا
In a dark and cold world where space is limited and hope is a small flicker of light choices must be made. 5 out of 5
.
I'm so fascinated by the lore of this game and enjoy the trolley problem type choice that needs to be made. I'd love to see more in the future
