Trans Siberian Railway is a comical action based horror game developed and published by Pentacle and PlayWay S.A.. Players will have the opportunity to operate an old soviet locomotive along the longest railway system in the world. Players will also have to battle the harsh conditions.

In Trans Siberian Railway players will have to navigate some of the most dangerous routes inside Russia whilst operating a freight train delivering goods to multiple stations. Players will not only have to fight the weather with fallen trees and freezing cold, but also wildlife such as wolves and moose. Trans Siberian Railway features a very diverse and complex repairing system. The train can break randomly during your journey with over 100 different parts that can break at any given time.

The operator also has their own survival system featuring ‘hunger, thirst, alcohol, hangover, illness, hypothermia and fatigue stats’. The game also has a randomized weather system that can be nice and sunny one moment and transition into a wild blizzard the next. Trans Siberian Railway also features a day and night system that flips between day and night as you play through the game. The developers have also stated that players will also have the ability to change the difficulty settings of the game to their own liking.
