About Circus 404
Development team behind Rabbit on The Rails.
Circus 404 is a small independent game development team made up of four Swedish gymnasium students. We came together out of a shared passion for horror, storytelling, and interactive design.
Combining our skills in programming, game design, art, and narrative, we collaborate to create immersive experiences. Our first major project, Rabbit on The Rails, showcases our ambition to deliver focused, atmospheric horror while experimenting with unique ideas.
Though we are students, we take our craft seriously and aim to create games that leave a lasting impression.
The show is just beginning.
About Rabbit on The Rails
A child. A circus train. No way off.
Rabbit on The Rails is an upcoming single-player horror experience set aboard a departing circus train. What begins as a family visit to the circus quickly turns into a nightmare when a young girl named Ginny follows a mysterious clown into one of the train carts — only to find herself trapped as the train pulls away.
Alone and separated from her parents, Ginny must navigate the narrow corridors of the moving train. Each section hides unsettling performers, disturbing secrets, and puzzles that stand between her and escape.
The game focuses on:
- Tension-driven exploration within a confined, moving environment
- Puzzle-solving integrated into the train’s unique layout
- Hostile performers with reactive AI behavior
- Environmental storytelling that gradually reveals the truth behind the circus
Currently in development, Rabbit on The Rails aims to create a focused horror experience built on vulnerability, atmosphere, and psychological tension — placing players in the perspective of a child trapped in a world that suddenly feels dangerous and distorted.
The show may be over — but the train hasn’t stopped.
