About the Game

Nightmare Train is an atmospheric first-person survival horror game set on a train racing through endless night.

You wake up in one of the cars. The lights are slowly going out, the doors are locked, and something alive can be heard in the darkness. Your only way to survive is to make your way through the entire train and reach the driver's cabin.

But the train is not empty.

Move through the cars, explore your surroundings, and collect mysterious artifacts. Watch your light level and your condition — darkness affects your sanity, and every action may attract the creature that is already searching for you.

Each car is a new danger, a new path, or a dead end. You will have to make decisions quickly, because the train will not stop.

Game Features:

  • Train exploration — move through different cars and find your way to the driver's cabin.

  • Light and sanity system — darkness affects the character's condition and makes survival harder.

  • A monster hunting you — sometimes it is better to hide and wait than to run forward.

  • Artifact collection — find mysterious items that will help uncover the train's secret.

Can you stop the train before it becomes your final stop?
