I have to say: the train mechanic is actually something I've never seen before. The closest I can think of is the train from Metro Exodus, but in that game the train isn't something you can control; It's just a means to fast travel from one area to another. That doesn't seem to be the case here: you actually control and upgrade the train yourself.

This is what happens when you watch Thomas the Tank engine at 3AM

As a fellow Thomas fan, I am so friggin excited for this game.

Thomas was my lifeblood during Elementary.

The face coming out should be a second phase of Charles or a last resort for him to take you down and finally the harder mode of the game where he's faster resources are limited and you need to think over what you need to upgrade before continuing

Fighting Charles with a rocket launcher, you have my interest good sir.

[goodveganvibes]

Thomas the tank engine was definitely my favorite show. it 100% influenced my love of trains and that is definitely the reason I'm buying this.

This game looks like its gonna be a blast. However, i feel like the game should have some more enemies besides Charles. Perhaps little mini charles or cultist who have their own train and are trying to capture you to sacrifice to Charles. I just think that an open world horror game should have more than one enemy. Charles should still be the main big bad but some other demon trains wouldn't hurt i think.

One thing that would add alot to this game for me personally is seeing something along the lines of cho cho Charles switching to using his wheels when he is chasing you down the tracks and being faster when doing so.

[dumpsterfire]

Ah you see the MC would have easily killed Charles if he brought a German Panzar Tank

Potential items for the game: a whistle, to summon your train to you, although it should take real game time to get there, so you have to wait longer the farther you are, bug spray bombs, collecting cans of bugspray and lighters could allow you to make a bomb perhaps, giant hammer, like the one you use to rail nails in a track, bear traps, collectibles for the interior of your train, flamethrower, fireworks, alarm clocks, to distract charles, strobe lights,

Oh man, this will be an amazing game. For a single person, the concept is amazing, and from what I can tell, it looks amazing too. Can't wait for this man, such an interesting concept.

The first thing I thought about the trailer was when Charles is chasing the player's train he needs to let out a sound kinda like a train whistle combined with a erie tortured screech like screeching metal and just insect like sounds.... I'm not sure how to word it better... I'm no game designer; however as a gamer I love this game idea and I think with enough TLC it could become the next big horror game of this year. Excellent starting concept and love the behind the scenes thanks you so much for this.

This game is a prime example of wonderful things being done with strange premises in the industry. I would've laughed at the premise, but when I saw the trailer and how intense it looked, I think this game is right up my alley!

[Fiberglass_Insulation]

Do you remember that comment on suggesting what the demo should look like? I support it and I have a few improvements to it:
1. Make the demo start from a harbor (steal designs, as usual)
2. Make dead figures on there to depict that Charles had attacked them
3. Make the demo continue to a train station
4. Make the character board, then drive the train
5. After it passes the part the other guy mentioned, cut the demo on the bridge

[jordanlondon]

Honestly, I’m very excited. I love games with mobile bases and a train seems like the best for a single person escape and fight at the same time

[Stacklucker]

Amazing. I can't believe you've put the whole thing together + made the trailer in only 2 months. That is some crazy fast development. Did you reuse many assets or scripts/blueprints that you had previously made?

[AManWhoDoesRandomThings]

For the sacrifice thing you should make it where you can make comrades to help you on your journey (also you get to purposely kill them for scraps)
And you should add enemies beside Charles like Crazy people who is a cult

[Hrizn]

I’m actually so excited to play this, hopefully we can customize our train color

[peabrain]

I saw this on steam, it looks like a game where you’d start out laughing at the concept and then end up screaming in terror ahaha

[skullkid]

Someone has to say it…
