About the Game

Choose one of three game modes: develop a legitimate career as a train driver, fight for survival at all costs, or take a job for the Soviet mafia and discover the dark story of the railway underworld.

Immerse yourself in the grim realities of the late '80s, where a powerful locomotive is your home, means of transport, and tool for earning money.

Key Game Features:

  • Simulation of the iconic VL10 locomotive - choose between simplified and realistic controls and procedures.

  • Railway traffic - obey signs and signals, avoid derailments and damage to the locomotive.

  • Repairs and maintenance - monitor part wear and replace components before disaster strikes.

  • Economy and trade - make money transporting cargo. Buy food, tools, locomotive parts, and weapons. Sell hunting trophies, meat, loot, and scrap.

  • Hunting and combat - use weapons for hunting, self-defense, or robbery.

  • Law and order - the Militia keeps order, and civilians defend their resources.

  • Survival system - control hunger, thirst, illness, hypothermia, alcohol, and hangover levels to stay alive.

  • Weather and day-night cycle - blizzards, night, and fog affect visibility. Low temperatures can kill you.

  • Route - a section spanning several kilometers through Novosibirsk. Buy the full version, which offers about 840 km in 1:1 scale and many places and activities to discover.
