About the Game

Somewhere on a bedroom floor, a little wooden train is waiting for a driver. That's you.

Railrogue is a cozy typing roguelike, the deck is a toy train and the fuel is your keyboard. Type the words on each ticket to raise steam, then spend your winnings on a train full of wagons and lucky charms that stack, combo, and bend the rules in your favor. Every run lays a new track. Every keystroke is fuel.

Pick a ticket. Type it clean. Fast, accurate typing fills the boiler, the quicker and tidier you are, the more steam you bank and the higher your score climbs.

Miss a letter and you'll feel it in the gauge. And when you're comfortably ahead, pull the Depart lever to leave the station early, cash in what you've built, and keep the run rolling.

Between stations, the shop rolls open. Buy wagons, each with its own trick. Collect trinkets, lucky charms that warp the scoring in delightful, run-defining ways. And remember: order matters. Line the right wagons up in the right places and the whole train starts to sing.
