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.

Barking from the Dark has about 177 positive and 27 negative player reviews out of a total 204. We'll add a detailed breakdown here when there are more reviews.
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.
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?
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.
The trains cannot be stopped. The connection breaks. The wells lead downward.
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.
