Hey Survivors,

Just a quick update! We've made the decision to move the upcoming Railbreak VR & Tailbreak crowdfunding initiative to BackerKit Crowdfunding! We can receive better terms on that platform, and it helps us leverage our built in audience more!

The campaign goes live on BackerKit Crowdfunding on Jan 30th, 2024 at 10AM PDT!

You can sign up for the campaign by clicking here!



We'll also have an update on the FREE content update coming to Railbreak very soon. Stay tuned as it will be adding a new mode that allows you to play all of the content in the game in a new and exciting way, a new character, new glitches, new weapons, and more! Stay tuned, it won't be too long!

On January 30th, we will be opening a small-scale Indiegogo campaign for Railbreak VR & Tailbreak, a DLC expansion for the standard and VR versions of the game. More details on this campaign will be coming soon, but for now, please see the below teaser video!

We look forward to sharing more news with you regarding Outbreak: Shades of Horror and our other projects in the near future! Thank you as always for your support!

Hey Survivors,

Our latest patch for Railbreak is now live on Steam! This patch brings some meaty graphical enhancements to the game, and brings the title up to the 12GB size that was advertised on the store page since launch. If you encounter any instability, just reduce the Texture Quality setting in the Video Settings menu as that area received the biggest upgrade across the game.


- Significant graphics improvements across the entire game. Hard drive space usage increased, however run-time RAM usage only appears slightly higher in-game as per our testing. This change does not affect the game's framerate.
- Fixed an issue where the Sinden Lightgun Border would disappear on the Game Over screen.

Hey Survivors!

Good news! A few more glitches have been patched in the world of Railbreak on Steam! These patches are rolling out to all other platforms today as well!

Here's what we did, and don't forget to check the "Update Notes" button on the title screen for this complete list too! We have plenty more updates coming in the weeks ahead!


- Added a "Compile Shaders" button to the Settings menu.
- Added the Update Notes screen.
- High scores now properly save in all parts of the game.
- Added an option in Audio Settings to allow you to set the character's voice volume level independently.
- Fixed numerous infrequent softlocks on Acts 2, 4, 5, and 6.
- Added an option in Game Settings to allow you to specify additional wait time before moving to another area to make it easier to collect items.
- Added an option to the Screen Filter Override in the Game Settings menu called "Never Switch", which will ensure no game overlays ever appear on screen.
- Added an option to the Game Settings to specify larger bounding boxes on item pickups. This can only be set at the Main Menu.
- Items can now only be picked up if they're visible to the player, and cannot be collected through walls or other surfaces anymore.
- Improvements to eliminate a very infrequent situation where being grabbed by a zombie would remove your gun.
- Additional performance improvements across the title.
- Item highlights now appear at greater range.

We did it!
