The verdict
A short, atmospheric 2D story-driven shooter with train management, great art, music and lore. Skip it if you want deep gameplay, a clear ending or lots of content for the price.
Great for
Players who love atmosphere, environmental storytelling and pixel art, and want a short indie on sale
Main risk
Train chores stop you hearing the story; repetitive gameplay and vague ending disappoint at full price
