Very fun and enjoyable horror game, I really like the train simulator aspect the most. I just really wish there was an endless mode + more train skins / upgrades, maybe another game-mode/dlc where you can make your train longer, trading speed for defense while rescuing survivors on the island instead of fighting Charles, like an alternative ending just for fun.

Pleasantly surprised by this game! I thought it was going to be too goofy to scare me, but I was absolutely hiding in any nearby building I could find when I heard his horn blowing nearby. I like that you can make your train stronger and all the side quests. Particularly the one with the pickles . Is it a $20 game though? Eh, no. But! It's still a lot of fun. Buy it on sale. <3

I have a confession to make: I went in wanting to hate this game. Turning beloved childhood characters into horror movie / game villains is a trope I've noticed increasing over the years. I've seen it happen to Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh... even my beloved Sonic. Generally speaking, I take a dim view. And yet... I don't hate this. The games antagonist is a demonic half-locomotive, half-spider creature that has been terrorising an island community. They call this creature Charles, and it is clearly based on Thomas the Tank Engine. You are called to the island by a former mining company employee to help rid the island of the menace. You find an old mining locomotive and can use it to freely traverse the island's extensive rail network. Completing missions for the island's inhabitants rewards you with scrap, which you can use to upgrade your train. Occasionally, Charles will show up and pursue you. You can use the gun mounted on the back of your train to fend him off. But he'll keep coming back. So, what we have here is a simple, free roaming, Survival Horror game, that a skilled player could probably finish in 2-3 hours. And yet... it's quite good fun. The antagonist, while ridiculous, is a "stalking" type of enemy, just as much as Nemesis or Jack Baker from the Resident Evil series. If you're looking for a Survival Horror game that will leave a dark mark on your soul & disrupt sleep patterns... look elsewhere. If however, you're looking for the sort of Survival Horror game that I've described above, this is definitely worth a look. It's not in any way "jumpscare-ish", you'll hear Charles coming. If I have one complaint, it would be that you can only defend yourself aboard your locomotive. If Charles finds you on foot, the only thing you can do is run. (It rarely ends well.) And then, of course, this game pulls a final irony on me. I wanted to hate it, yet I actually found it to be quite good fun. I'll give it a solid 7/10.

The full game is around 2 hours long. Maybe 2-3x that if you go for nightmare mode, so it's not worth the full price. I got it on sale for super cheap though, and it is a legitimately good experience for the few hours it lasts. Especially if you want a horror theme game for Halloween
