A midnight subway derailment. Five dead. One survivor. And a symbol carved into steel—a triangle, deliberately left behind.
Detective Marcus Reed soon discovers the crash is only the first move in a larger game engineered by a mastermind known as The Observer.
When morality becomes a weapon, every choice is a trap.
A midnight subway derailment leaves five dead and one survivor—and nothing about the tragedy is accidental. As Detective Marcus Reed investigates, he uncovers a pattern of engineered disasters tied to an unseen force known as The Observer.
Designed around real-world versions of the classic trolley problem, each event forces impossible choices with devastating consequences. As the line between investigator and subject begins to blur, Reed is drawn into an experiment where human decision-making itself is under scrutiny.
The Trolley Problem is a psychological thriller where ethics, technology, and human frailty collide—and no one walks away unmeasured.
