The train doors close. The platform stretches in both directions under buzzing fluorescent light. There is no schedule, no announcements, no other passengers—and the stairways that should lead to the surface curve impossibly back to where you started.

Welcome to Station 0. It's not on any map. It shouldn't exist. And now, neither should you.

The Rules Are Everything

The Terminus operates on its own logic—and survival depends on learning it fast. Light keeps the Shufflers at bay: broken humanoid shapes that drag through the tunnels, drawn to sound, repelled by the fluorescent glow overhead. When the lights hold, you're safe. When they flicker out—and they're flickering more often—things climb up from the dark.

Other survivors occupy this space. Vera, a transit worker who's been counting days (twenty-three marks scratched into the maintenance office wall), offers guidance with guarded pragmatism. She knows the safe zones, the resource caches, the patterns. Marcus has been here longer—long enough that something essential has eroded. He hoards, he mutters, he watches you like competition. Both might help you survive. Both have their own calculations about your worth.

The Architecture of Wrong

Every detail is almost familiar and deeply incorrect. Clocks show different times; none of them move. Station signs display symbols instead of letters. The tunnels extend into absolute darkness, filled with shuffling footsteps and fragments of speech that sound almost like words. The exits loop. The geometry lies. And somewhere deeper in—past where anyone has returned from—the space stops pretending to be a subway at all.

What You'll Face

This is survival horror built on wrongness: the slow accumulation of details that shouldn't be, the growing certainty that the rules you've learned are incomplete. Trust is a resource. Sound is a danger. Time doesn't work the way you remember. And the Shufflers are patient. They used to be people, too.

The lights flicker. Something shuffles in the dark.

How long until you forget how to leave?
