About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

HELL ON WHEELS

Fright Train is a third-person action survival horror roguelike in which you'll explore the monster-ridden corridors of an enormous train speeding through Antarctica. Keep it running by maintaining its parts, because if the train stops, there’s no telling what abomination might emerge from the blizzard to claim you...

A CHILLING ADVENTURE

You play as a paranormal special agent responding to a distress signal sent from the L.R.S. Great White: a locomotive research station owned by the secretive SHARK corporation. Prepare to meet allies and encounter foes as you navigate the train's iron bowels. Monitor its condition and keep it running to avoid freezing to death or falling prey to the creatures chasing you outside! Will you be able to find the source of these horrors and put an end to them?

HIGH-STAKES GAMEPLAY

Scavenge the procedurally generated train for resources and unlock new cars and rooms by using the credits you gather, but don't forget to take time to prepare yourself for the waves of enemies that will appear during deadly storms! Credits will also let you purchase invaluable items at vending machines and upgrade your weapons. Get to the extraction point on top of the locomotive before the train reconfigures itself and complete small objectives to earn cosmetics!

KEY FEATURES

  • Meaningful and tactical inventory management. Big and medium-sized items are physically displayed on the character, and the speed at which he can fetch them depends on where an item is located on the body: a magazine will be quicker to insert if it's stored on the chest rather than on the lower back!
  • A volatile combat ecosystem in which enemy behaviors intertwine, allowing them to support or sabotage one another. Some enemies have armor and weak points: learn how to exploit their vulnerabilities and responses to attacks!
  • A lived-in environment in which you'll find lore and many objects with which you can interact: vending machines for supplies, crates to kick, terminals to monitor and repair the train's parts, doors to unlock, and more!
  • Semi-realistic stylized graphics and characters driven by a B-movie style story.
  • A chilling and exciting adaptive soundtrack!
