About the Game

WESTLINE - a post-apocalyptic action/adventure set on an industrial freight train.

Explore the remnants of a dystopian world, defend your cargo and reach your destination before fuel runs out. Will you discover the lost history the world conceals? 

Undercover the worlds storyline

The desert holds more than dust. As you travel deeper into the wasteland, fragments of the world before begin to surface. Every station, every wreck, every silhouette on the horizon tells part of a story. Garry, your onboard narrator, is happy to guide you through all of it, even if he can be a tad annoying at some occasions..

Upgrade and manage your train

Your train is your home, your weapon, and your lifeline. Produce fuel, repair breaches, and operate your onboard systems under pressure. Push further into the wasteland by upgrading what you have, and keeping it running when things go wrong.

Explore different biomes

No two stretches of track look the same. Every region you pass through has been designed from the ground up, with its own atmosphere, landmarks, and secrets waiting off the beaten path. There is no repetitive randomly generated paths here!

Key Features

  • Manual Maintenance - you're on your own. Everything from machinery and repairs to defense and traversal is your responsibility. Your engine needs fuel? - perfect, refine it yourself. Hostile nomads trying to hijack your train? - no problem, use the on-board defense system to safely "remove" them.

  • Constant Motion - the train is designed to keep running for extended periods, stopping it should only be a last resort. Learning optimal paths and shortcuts to move in between the compartments and save as much time as possible, will be crucial to your success...

  • Exploration - A world you are alone in, except that's what you might assume at first.. Explore the uniquely, hand crafted world hiding many secrets worthy to explore. Find loot, upgrade parts, music discs you can play and so much more just by being curious!

  • Upgrades & Collectables - Scattered across the world are parts and upgrades for your train. While you can take the hard route and go in without any preparations, they might really come in handy and finding them will make your journey considerably easier.
