About the Game

This system is getting old. Drive on the Cinderline as an anthropomorphic bird, exploring strange towns as you journey to create the last S'MORE and bring its youthful delight to the Heart of the aging system.

As the system ages the ash falls and thing are not quite as they used to be.

Gameplay

Operate Your Train

Take control of your train underground, arrive at each station made unique, and explore. The more you venture to the Heart the more surreal things become. 

Explore Strange Towns

Visit strange places and meet weird people shaped by the system. Fulfill their little deeds and maybe they will help you on your journey.

Talk to Residents

Speak with strange characters who might help you or sometimes mock you. 

The Last S'MORE

Find the hidden ingredients in each town and reach the last station to feed it to the Heart to make them young again.
