Survirail is a first-person survival game set in a dark vision of the future. You play as one of the surviving crew members who lived through a sudden attack by androids—machines that unexpectedly changed their operating protocol and turned against humanity.
As you travel through space, you explore space stations, gather survival materials, and battle hostile automatons. Each location you visit is another piece of the puzzle, leading you toward the network's core—a forgotten control station where the answer to what caused your world's downfall may lie.
Your key to survival is a futuristic train that serves as a mobile base. Expand it, upgrade its systems, and push deeper into the star system where new dangers and secrets await.
Repair and unlock modules: Discover damaged rooms aboard your train and bring them back to life by fixing broken electronic components. Each repair unlocks new functionality and usable spaces—from a workshop and storage to a material processing lab.
Upgrade engines and power systems: To reach more distant stations, you must upgrade your train’s propulsion and energy systems. Increase engine power, battery capacity, and travel range to break through to new sectors of the network.
Add new carriages: You can find additional cars at stations—each with a specific purpose. Once attached, they expand your capabilities: offering more space, new devices, or survival functions.
Crafting and processing system: In reconstructed rooms, you can craft items, repair equipment, and refine collected resources.
Energy management and expedition prep: After each journey, your train must be recharged before continuing. Collect the necessary resources and plan expeditions in advance—poor planning may leave you stranded in hostile space.
Oxygen management: Time spent outside the train is limited. Your suit has an oxygen capacity—you can always return inside to refill and prepare for another outing.
Using the star map: Plan your route using an interactive map—each location requires a specific engine power level and energy to reach.
Gathering rare resources: In space, you’ll find unique materials that can't be obtained at stations. They're essential for crafting advanced equipment and upgrades.
Specialized tools: Some minerals and materials require specific tools for extraction—obtaining and upgrading them is part of your survival strategy.
Random events and hazards: You may encounter drifting wrecks, radiation zones, or environmental traps. Every expedition brings risk—but also the chance of valuable discoveries.
Finding survivors and story-driven missions: Search abandoned sections for remaining crew members. Each station presents a new story, new challenges, and a piece of the bigger picture.
Interactive tasks: Restore power, activate emergency systems, unlock new rooms with access cards, and uncover more parts of each station.
Unique environments—from hospitals and military facilities to luxury hotels and completely destroyed colonies where moving around consumes oxygen. Each varies in available resources, threat levels, and exploration conditions.
Impact on progress: Completing certain stations can unlock new opportunities in others—granting access to advanced resources, upgrades, or narrative branches.
Station map navigation:Use the interactive map to quickly locate key objectives, locked sections, and access points
Suit upgrade tree: Your suit is more than just protection—it's the foundation of your survival in hostile space. With recovered parts, you can gradually enhance its functions to match growing threats and challenges.
Modular upgrades: Find damaged suit modules that allow you to unlock new branches in the upgrade tree. Each piece offers new options—from reinforced armor and improved masks to filters protecting against toxic gas.
Improving survival stats: Develop your character by increasing max health, oxygen capacity, and damage resistance. These upgrades enhance not only your endurance but also your combat effectiveness and exploration capabilities.
Tactical customization: Focus on specific attributes—increase stamina, damage output, or inventory space to better manage your resources.
Item creation and dismantling: Use crafting stations to create new tools, weapons, and upgrades. With the recycler, convert unwanted finds into useful resources. Every item has value—whole or in parts.
Blueprints and progression: Not all items are available from the start. Search for hidden blueprints at stations or complete missions for survivors to unlock new projects and recipes. Expanding your workshop capabilities is key to survival and progress.
Varied combat styles: Face threats on your own terms—from melee combat to pistols and rifles, or tactical approaches using limited resources. Your weapon choice and combat style depend on your preparation and the situation.
Weapon modification system: Upgrade your gear using a simple module system. Attach a scope to your pistol, add a flashlight to your rifle, or enhance melee weapons with electronic effects to better handle armored enemies.
Adaptive threats: Androids differ in function and attack style—some are fast and aggressive, others use energy shields or motion detection. Every encounter is a unique challenge requiring flexible strategies.
This project is born out of a love for video games and the survival genre. At this stage, I’m developing the game solo, which makes every piece of feedback extremely valuable. If you want to share ideas, constructive criticism, or simply talk about the project—feel free to reach out. I’m creating this game for players and thanks to players.
