❤ Exploration

The player navigates through 2D side-scrolling abandoned stations and towns overrun by infected creatures. During exploration, the player must search for supplies, crafting materials, and survivors while fending off hostile creatures through a mix of ranged gunplay and melee attacks. Combat requires carefully managing limited ammunition. Environmental storytelling allows the player to uncover clues and details about the game's post-apocalyptic world.

❤ Train Management

Between exploration segments, the player returns to a train serving as a hub. Here, the player must repair damaged train components, regulate the power supply, and attend to the needs of any survivors picked up, such as providing food and medical care. This resource management element forces the player to balance train maintenance with equipping themselves for the next exploration.

❤ Resource Management

The player has a limited inventory, requiring judicious use of items between the train and exploration. For example, a medkit used to heal the player cannot then treat a sick passenger, creating constant tension in prioritizing scarce supplies.

❤ Atmosphere and Narrative

While the gameplay mechanics are straightforward, the game's strength lies in its atmospheric presentation and narrative. Minimalist pixel art, sparse soundtrack, and environmental storytelling immerse the player in a gloomy, post-apocalyptic world. The indirect, non-linear storytelling encourages piecing together the game's lore and mysteries, adding to the sense of exploration and discovery.
