Route 404 – Are You Ready for a Dark Journey?
Will this journey heal you, or deepen the fear within?
You are a former bus attendant living in the shadow of what you lost in a traumatic accident. You've decided to return to life by hitting the road again. But this time, the journey transforms into a nightmare that pulls you in, not just the passengers.
Hold the line between reality and illusion. The darkness awaits you.
ABOUT THE GAME
Route 404 is a first-person, story-driven psychological horror and survival experience. As a bus attendant, you must cater to the passengers' needs while confronting the darkness looming over your past.
Realistic Attendant Duties: Serve passengers, resolve complaints, manage the bus.
Psychological Tension: Your past traumas constantly manipulate your perception of reality.

Dynamic Horror Elements: Sudden jump scares, atmospheric sound design, and mysterious events.
Deep Story: Follow the struggle of a mind scarred by an accident, fighting for recovery.
DANGERS AWAIT
The bus lights can flicker and die without warning.
One of the passengers might be watching you a little too closely.
Sounds from the luggage compartment echo with memories you've tried to forget.
And that presence... capable of being anywhere, at any time... is impatient to find you.
ARE YOU READY?
"After all that's happened... I need to stop and breathe. It's time to wipe the slate clean and rejoin life."
The journey is about to begin.
Will you run, or will you face it?
