Released on Steam, Choo-Choo Charles is a distinctive open-world horror game that sends players on an island road trip aboard an aged locomotive. The twist is simple yet wild: the train itself is a character, and it must be piloted through eerie landscapes while facing a menacing foe, the spider-train Charles.
In this unusual adventure, players complete story missions and must eventually challenge Charles to a deadly duel. Between tasks, there is freedom to step off the rattling rails and search the world for resources that keep the train and vehicle upgrades humming. Strategic planning is essential to avoid ambushes and long treks on foot; players should continually re-evaluate routes and swap between tracks to stay ahead of danger. Helping locals provides practical rewards, including new weapons and gadgets that expand tactical options in combat and traversal.
Captured moments and in-game scenery can be explored through various screenshots, offering a glimpse of the game’s atmospheric design and its blend of horror, humor, and survival mechanics.
The game has Russian subtitles, making it accessible to a broader audience in Canada and the United States. Availability and pricing vary by region, with some markets listing the title at different amounts. Part of the game’s promotional footprint includes additional commentary and glimpses from developers and publishers, providing context for its quirky premise and gameplay loop. (VG Times)
