The Switch
The Switch is a psychological horror game built around one of the most famous moral dilemmas ever conceived.
A trolley is coming.
Five people stand on one track.
One person stands on the other.
You control the switch.
Choose.
At first, the rules seem simple.
They are not.
What begins as a controlled morality experiment slowly turns into something far more disturbing. The people on the tracks have names, histories and secrets. The information given to you may be incomplete—or deliberately false. The station changes around you. Doors open where there were once walls. People remember things they should not remember.
And eventually, you may discover that pulling the lever was never your only option.
Explore an atmospheric semi-3D station built like a twisted paper diorama. Search archives, inspect surveillance footage, talk to the people awaiting your decision and uncover evidence before the trolley arrives.
Sometimes the question is who should die.
Sometimes the question is whether anyone has to.

The system is watching how you decide.
But eventually, it will have to answer one question too:
What happens when the subject stops choosing?
