About the Game

The gargantuan dieselpunk train, the IRON SANCTUARY, is mankind’s last hope after the calamity of 1920. Your mission and penitence is to manage and direct it through the remains of civilization after the Great War.

Choose which city you will rescue next and the route you will take. Use the information given the by higher command, as well as tools and your own wit. Measure distances, use the compass to circle areas, place markers and even utilize occult paraphernalia.

Within the city, raise the giant drill miners and release the cart ways that fuel the IRON SANCTUARY. The fuel should last throughout your journey.



Demolished terrain, hellish fields, inhumane temperatures and various obstacles may be encountered on the route, causing problems on board. Secure the pressure valves, replace the broken pipe parts, ensure every mechanism is up to speed. Resume travel.

Rescue as many people as you can from the calamity. Choose your route wisely, as both distance and breakdown can result in stalling, and each day increases the death count.

After you made sure that the route is set, the tank refueled and the safety measures checked, enter the control pit and IGNITE THE ENGINE.

Safe travels, conductor - - God. Humanity. Salvation!

KEY FEATURES

  • Immersive Train Conducting: Maneuver the outworldly train behemoth, the IRON SANCTUARY, secured from the hell outside.

  • Alternate Apocalyptical Setting: After the end of the Great War, in the 1920s hell overlapped with Earth leading to countless suffering. You have been living the same month ever since, days keep adding onto January.

  • Enduring the End Times: As a conductor, the routine, mental strain and the impossible train dilemmas will eventually tire you out. The nightmares you will face are surely not the result of your own decisions.

  • Vintage Dieselpunk Atmosphere: Once set on your journey, listen to music on the gramophone and relax in your metal oil-stained cage. Fill in your lungs with the smoke molecules.

  • Cling to Hope: Be sure to water Hope before each journey. It is your only companion after all.

  • Secret Agenda?: There surely is no secret agenda. Praise His Holy Name, the Pontiff General!

IRON SANCTUARY is inspired by the genre defining IRON NEST and PVKK, the art direction of Dishonored and the atmosphere of BioShock.
