About the Game

Cargo Protocol: Cyberpunk Trains is an economic strategy game about freight trains, production chains, and corporate influence in a cyberpunk world.

Lay tracks, launch trains, deliver goods to the places that need them, research technologies, and gradually turn a local transport company into a system the world can no longer function without.

Logistics

Optimize the system, throughput, and train composition. The shortest path is not always the most profitable one: station load, queues, trip frequency, train speed, wagon capacity, and the way one route affects the entire network all matter.

A new factory, district, or resource can turn an old network into a gold mine - or a bottleneck.

Economy

Markets react to supply and demand. Oversupply drags profit down, scarcity opens the door to aggressive expansion, and every infrastructure upgrade has to pay for itself before competitors notice your weakness.

Invest in technologies, new train types, and production chains. A cheap route today can become the foundation of tomorrow's monopoly - or a trap that drains your budget down to the last credit.

Influence

A corporation either grows or becomes someone else's asset. To enter new markets, you must prove efficiency: complete deliveries and maintain your reputation where the word "trust" was replaced by numbers long ago.

Key Features:

  • easy start and a deep late game that pushes back

  • a procedurally generated world with a truly fresh experience in every run

  • production chains, technologies, and upgrades that unlock new strategies

  • freedom and replayability

  • focus on strategy and interesting systems, not manually tweaking every rail signal

  • a unique, grim, atmospheric cyberpunk setting for the genre

  • fine-tuning for players who want to squeeze out maximum efficiency
