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.

7/10 - 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.

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!

(all jokes aside i really liked the animation and story line, i loved the way that the train moved/bumped and how the holdy things moved with it) 

Please make another part its sooo good!
