Last Train Home
This is a short horror-adventure game about being stuck on a train. Loosely based on a story of the same name I read on the internet. This game was submitted to MiniJam 47. The whole thing was written in C.
Didn't totally manage to finish it, but it was a great learning experience.
There's an ending now. Thanks for playing.

Holy shit! I did not expect that alternate ending! The code the newspaper guy gives you if you talk to him again after giving him the newspaper is a big hint!
can u plsss help? i knew the code meant something but i have no idea where or how to use it T-T .
it reminds me of that game CoryxKenshin played, I think they were both based off the same story.
Good stuff
I enjoyed playing this :)
very good short game.
it wasn't bad the storyline was simple but good i liked it i wish it was a bit longer tho and gave us more details and really went into the story more but overall it was nice.
ithink the pixel art is gud I could never do anything like that :( ...

me encantan este tipo de juegos! 😊for ( arrity ) I just wanted to see the reaction of the developer but I will tell you that actually the games before were pixel but they were for tv crt and they did not look so pixelated, they looked much better and it is okay I respect their tastes only that it is not the type of retro games that I remember and as I remember them that game is a game something like a new retro style that they like To many I know it's how young people see now retro is some kind of new fashion I didn't really mean to offend, excuse me actually I just wanted to check something tell your friend to apologize. It's just that I had a hypothesis that I wanted to check with the comment, but believe me that I value the effort of each independent developer when making a game even if many times I don't agree with the content or the themes of the game I like the art of many games and the talents I like some games more than others but doing something whether it's drawings or music or games or whatever has its Sorry for the comment
hey you need practice of drawing sorry is bad game y very pixel sorry but
no way your name is retro game is good but you can't appreciate pixel art style... Game is very simple, but still nice
hey hi, yes, I know sorry, I just wanted to know that the anter games were pixel but they were for tv crt and they don't look so pixelated, they look much better and it's okay I respect their tastes only that it's not the type of retro games that I remember and as I remember them that game is a game something like a new retro style that many like, I know it's how young people see retro now. It's some kind of new fashion I didn't really mean to offend, excuse me actually I just wanted to check something tell your friend to excuse me. It's just that I had one hypothesis that I wanted to check with the comment, but believe me that I value the effort of each independent developer when making a game even if many times I do not agree with the content or the themes of it I like the art of many games and the talents I like some games more than others but doing something whether it is drawings or music or games or whatever has its merit excuse me for the comment.
7.1/10 - Engaging but simple horror game set on a Train, (5-10 mins), it's a game that didn't do a lot but it created a compelling story in a simple location and it did a great job at it. The story is short but hit's the spot and the characters are what I enjoyed most about this game.
Is it scary or tense? it wasn't either for me but it did keep me guessing what will happen next and it gave me a feeling that something was off. The art style is very digestible and the main music score of the game is pretty and reminds me off some downbeat anime songs.
I would've loved to have an additional ending or for the game to be expanded on but it did a great job at presenting something fun, heartfelt and simple, that left me satisfied. And the game leaves you thinking whether what happened was real or not!
This game is awesome and very interesting. I think you should make multiple ends though, but that's if you want to.
Lovely
I've always had a soft spot for pixel art, and this game really helped me rediscover that love. The use of space in the game is absolutely beautiful—minimal but so effective.. fun stuff.
fun!
how do i spin
just press the left and right arrows
can i share a link of a video that i made about this game, i tried to make some jokes and make it funny, may be you guys would like it , thank you https://youtu.be/onVkHKIIEOc
Amazing game, you should port it to the SNES ;)
I became obsessed with this game and i´ve managed to make a version in Godot, with support for touchscreen. All credits to original developer, of couse.

very good! gave me the heebie jeebies but also the basic item collection and npc interactions were fun and engaging. i also like the happy ending very rare for horror games :)
Nice!
Wow! Fun little game! I would love to read the story it is based on. Keep up the good work hby!
Really nice game, very calming and a little horror. Although I didn't know what counts as spinning so I spend a little too much time on figuring that out. Please make new games I would love to play them.
cool and cute little game, i'm interested to hear the internet story about this.
This was a fun game to play, you made a great short horror adventure game. I hope you continue making games!
i rarely play horrors (mainly cause their 3d and too fast like some backroom things) but this was good. lands in collections :D
(won't go sleep today)

I had a lot of fun playing this. I knew that child was never to be trusted. I always say, don't trust a spider child skipping in a train. Just one of those things you always say.
Even with how short it was the concept was super interesting. I'd recommend this game to anyone who just wants something short and simple but still satisfying as a horror game. :)
liked it, very short and sweet adventure. tried to find anymore endings and couldn't so i'm guessing there's only one. still, great game.
Acho jogos em pixel art muito bonitinhos, e esse tem uma atmosfera ótima, maravilhoso!
