This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Subway Midnight is an indie game where you explore a cursed train. It's surprisingly cute and scary in equal measure.

Unused Character Sprites

Many unused character sprites still remain in the game's files. Some of these sprites are of old versions of the characters, which were replaced once designs were finalized.

Julia

T_Jules_Idle_01

A very old design of Julia's, being a much darker greenish-yellow than she appears in the final, also lacking legs. This design is very similar to the textures made for her scrapped 3-D model.

T_GhostFace_01

A texture for an old version of Julia back when the game was planned to use all 3-D assets.

T_GhostFace_01_B

T_Jules_Battery

Another design for Julia also went unused. It's slightly closer to the final, but she still remains a different color than her final counterpart, and keeps the shorter hair. She also still has no legs.

T_Jules_Notice_01

T_Jules_Notice_02

T_Jules_Wave_01

Kiki

T_Kiki_Surprise_IDLE

Kiki's old design, which lacks both hands and legs, for some reason.

T_Kiki_Surprise_INTRO

Similar to the other surprise sprite sheet, but most likely intended for a cutscene.

T_KikiIdle_01

Another file of Kiki's named "T_KikiTest" reuses a sprite from this sheet, without any visual changes.

Jessica

T_JessType

An old design for Jessica that lacks any base color. It may be a placeholder image.

Untitled-3

The same image as "T_JessType", but with a blue tint applied.

Victoria

T_Victoria_Idle_01

An old design for Victoria, similar to the one seen in the unused poster and paintings of her.

Benny

T_BubbyJumpscare_01

An old design for Benny, and similarly to other old ghost designs, lacks legs. This was most likely intended to be used during one of the button puzzles in Kiki's section of the game, as this sprite is located in her folder.

T_BubbyJumpscare_Idle

Another early Benny sprite found in Kiki's folder, this was most likely to be used in the section where he sits with the other "passengers".

T_BubbyIsHappyToSeeYou

A more up to date sprite of Benny. It is unclear what this may have been used for.

T_BubbySpookosYa

May be a revised version of "T_BubbyJumpscare_01".

T_BubbyWalkin_01

A walk cycle that has no coloring, and was most likely meant for Benny's play. Benny's ghost sports an outfit similar to the one he wears when alive.

T_BubbyWalksInASuit

Similar to "T_BubbyWalkin_01", there is yet another walk cycle of ghost Benny in a suit. There's no indication as to what this may have been used for.

Rose

T_Rose_01

An old design of Rose. Not too much is different other than some colors and that her dog is not a separate sprite in this version.

Cassandra

T_Sitting_05

An unused sprite of Cass sitting. It is unclear what this may have been used for.

T_CassWhatever

This may have been intended to be used during a scrapped Bad End cutscene.

T_Bye

This has been stated to have been from a scrapped Bad End cutscene, where Cass watches sadly as Eleanor murders Lizz.

Lizzbeth

T_LizzSittin

An early sprite that was used for when Lizz sits next to Colin.

T_LizzWassDis

An early sprite that was used for when Lizz picked up Jessica's figures during her Good End cutscene.

Jacklyn

T_JacksPlay

An unused sprite of Jacklyn. The name implies it may have been used during their version of Benny's play.

T_JackPaintings

This sprite sheet contains several unused sprites of Jacklyn, all in the style of Victoria's paintings. When asked, Bubby Darkstar mentioned that these would have been used for a different version of Victoria's puzzles in the Best End, and it would have altered versions of all of her puzzles. These sprites are all that remain of that concept.

T_SForwards

According to the developer, "T_SForwards" and "T_SBackwards" are test versions of Jacklyn.

T_SBackwards

Unused Object Sprites

T_GoodEndPainting

A placeholder for the Good End painting, probably from the testing phase.

T_MissingPoster_03_A

An early version of Victoria's missing poster that was accidentally left in the game. The developer, Bubby Darkstar, has mentioned that this was due to an error in file name. When the final version was finished, it did not save over the early version as they had intended. This is the only early poster that remains.

T_GhostPoster_01

An unused poster of an old Victoria. It is unknown what this would have been used for.

T_GhostPoster_02

Another unused poster of an old Victoria. It is unknown what this would have been used for.

T_GhostPoster_03

Yet another unused poster of an old Victoria. It is unknown what this would have been used for.

T_GhostPoster_04

Yet another unused poster of an old Victoria. It is unknown what this would have been used for.

T_GhostPoster_BAD

A combination of all 4 unused Victoria posters. This may have been used for an early version of the Bad End.

T_VictoriasPainting

What appears to be an early version of Victoria's Good End painting. Unlike the final version, this painting is of herself.

T_Bear_Idle

An early version of Kiki's teddy bear. Unlike the final, it is colored much differently.

T_Bear_Squish_01

T_Bear_Squish_02

T_DeadHead_01

An unused room puzzle where this head would open its mouth, and you would move onto the next room. When you come back later as Lizz, it would be dead.

T_DeadHead_03

T_DeadHead_DEAD
