About the Game

The train won’t stop.
The zombies won’t stop.
And neither can you.

In this roguelike deckbuilder, you’re trapped on a runaway train in the Wild West—each carriage packed with the living dead. Every card you play is a choice:
Do you shoot to thin the crowd?
Do you dash forward to the next carriage?
Do you set a trap and buy yourself time?
Or do you simply shove the horde back and pray for one more turn?

Build your deck, adapt your strategy, and fight your way from one blood-soaked carriage to the next. No run is ever the same—new card combos, new zombie patterns, and new desperate escapes await each time you board the train.

Can you reach the front before the swarm drags you into the dark?
