* rich dialogues
* decision-based story progression
* tons of text and reading
* you will suffer by reading
* non-reading gameplay doesn’t exist here… well, maybe a little…



When you begin your journey, there is no way to turn back or stop the train. Travel through the city, learn about the Dark Train world, explore the mythology of The Border City and the ways of the existence of its people.

All of that within one mysterious train coupe...




The main story arc is played in the passenger train on the same railroad and you will not venture forth. Both stories are therefore located in the same place - The Border City - but in a different time. You will also meet the main protagonist Ann Tagrezbung from the first game.
