Coming to Steam. No spam, just news about the game.

The world

Red-rock spires, rickety trestles, and little towns that grew up around a rail spur. Here's a taste of the concept art.

The rivals

They want the same prize you do. You'll keep running into these four.

The Copper Baron beside his armored cart

The Copper Baron

Wealth. Power. Right of way.

Madame Spark beside her cart topped with crackling coils

Madame Spark

Bright ideas. Higher voltage.

Two masked Dust Devils firing from a spiked cart

The Dust Devils

Small crew. Big trouble.

The Ghost Rider, cloaked, on a cart draped in black cloth

The Ghost Rider

No tracks. No name. Always there.

What you'll do

  • Learn the rails

    Switches, loops, bridges and hidden spurs, all one connected network. Knowing it is how you get ahead.

  • Chase the next prize

    There's no finish line. A gold claim, an oil strike, lost treasure, a bounty. Every lead points somewhere new.

  • Beat the rivals

    When someone else wants the same prize, it turns into a race. Nobody plays fair.

  • Play chicken

    Two carts, one track, heading straight at each other. Jump at the right moment, or don't.

Music

The main theme is still being written. Here's one of the directions we're trying.
