Keeping in mind that this is a $5 game, I enjoyed my time with it. Game is relatively simple, though at times I forgot what different levers and elements on the train actually did. My only real "issue", if it can be called that, is that I only really found 2 scary moments through my time with the game. Watching the trailer I saw many different scenarios I simply never encountered. Not sure if [spoiler] The Window [/spoiler] somehow was supposed to lead to more dramatic content if I kept fiddling around, but simply driving the train and making all stops always resulted in 0 scares beyond the initial one and a kind of boring experience overall. I will definitely check this out again though when / if there's more content added.

About This Game
There is a recent need for a night train from town to town in the lovely Redwood Forest. It is cozy, dark, and quiet.
To keep costs low, a once decommissioned steam engine will now be brought back to service with a few modern upgrades.
However, recent reports have noted creepy sightings and unusual events occurring on this train route.
Exploring this new opportunity, you play as a character who is trying to pay off some debt.
Operator Duties include:
- Driving the Train using Realistic Locomotive Controls
- Picking Up and Dropping Off Passengers at Stations
- Checking Passenger Tickets
You may experience hallucinations during your journey. Some see ghosts, wrecked interior, and more.
Thankfully, you are provided the past engineer's notebook for info and survival.
Can You Stay Calm and Survive the Night?

Red Trees Rail Co presents a compelling premise for a VR horror game. Set in a small town, players take on the role of a steam train conductor working the night shift. While the game offers a lot for its price, there is room for more content at the time of writing. However, the promise of upcoming updates is exciting. The Pros: Atmosphere: Despite its low-poly aesthetic, the game's atmosphere is solid. The dark, unknown expanse outside the locomotive creates an unnerving feeling of unease. Train Operation: The mechanics of operating the train add an engaging element of micro-management. Although some aspects, like the thermometer and oil, are challenging to grasp initially, they contribute to the immersive experience. Sound Design: The sound design is pleasing, with tactile sounds enhancing the experience. The Cons: Content for Price: Given the $5 price tag, the roughly 38-minute play session feels repetitive. More clarity and variety in the nighttime journey would enhance the ex...
This is a fun 2D and 3D Train horror mystery. Be careful not to pass up picking up passengers because you can get fired from your job here. Do a good job and you get paid. There is a small learning curve to figuring out how to operate the train but it is fun. I do enjoy this Train mystery. Anyway, ALL ABOARD.
This game is horrible. Graphics are bad, rotation is bad, and moving is bad, some mechanics dont even work and why are the trees paper??!?
