Reviews
Now I'm not the greatest gamer, I'm probably not even in the top three, I do not have the Nightmare Hunter Achievement, I am currently grinding it out, but this game is really good, now just to be clear, this game does a good job at being dramatic, and spooky, but it also has it's goofy moments, I like this because as a horror fan, it gives me that sweet horror game catharsis, while also being goofy and dumb at times. The main complaint I've heard about this game is that it's entirely fetch quests, which may be true, but the game is still fun, and I enjoyed it. If you hate fetch quests, well don't buy the game. But this game is made so well, and the best part is, is that it's a solo project. Now granted a lot of the assets are not made by Gavin, but who gives a sh**? The game is fun, and the new-ish Nightmare Mode is actually hard, which is something games don't get right with perma-death modes. The only issue I had with it, is that, nothing had animations, which is okay though. Every game has it's flaws, *Looks at FNaF: Security Breach intensively.* But this game was fun to play through, and the design of Charles is so good. I hope the sequel comes soon, and low-key a Choo Choo Charles movie might go hard. 9/10 Instant Classic.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

To put it very simply: awesome. HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for something fun but not serious. Zero complaints. Perfect length, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious, occasionally actually tense? Not much more I can ask for. Just some good old stupid scary fun.
⊹ ࣪ ˖ **Recommended** ˖ ࣪ ⊹ Choo-Choo Charles is simple, creepy, and honestly so much fun. I do not come back to it super often, but every time I do, it still manages to make me scream and panic. ⋆˚꩜｡ The gameplay is pretty straightforward: you explore the island, upgrade your train, collect supplies, complete missions, and prepare yourself for Charles showing up at the worst possible time. You are basically trying to get stronger while this terrifying spider-train menace hunts you down. ✧ And when I see that stupid train charging at me? Pure panic. No thoughts. Just screaming, running, and hoping my little train can survive. ˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ I like that the game does not need to be overly complicated to be fun. The idea is weird, scary, and silly in the best way, and it works. There is something so funny and stressful about being hunted by a giant evil train with spider legs. ⟡ Overall, Choo-Choo Charles is a fun little horror game that is easy to understand, creepy enough to make you panic, and memorable because of how ridiculous and terrifying Charles is. That train can stay far away from me, thank you. ✨
if you like to sit in your own faeces, then this is the game for you, brilliant
ye that game is really nice, had much fun while playing it and props to my bruderherz for buyin the game and my other bruderherz for rage baitin and goonin while i was playing.
could really use a publisher........ what the ♥♥♥♥ this game is $20? i wouldnt even pay ms pickles $20 to blow me. you could have developed some brass knuckles to fight enemies with, at that kind of price. at $20 you cant even fight the guys? the whole game is fighting charles and he just ♥♥♥♥♥ off. and i still hate that modification menu. this guys thinking what im thinking. and post. ms pickles derails me. the only thing scary about this game was the npcs chasing. cause they literally just breathe on your neck for 20 seconds then shoot you in the back. burp. burp. burp. oooh new friends slop! funnel runner
Better story than twilight
Игра конечно да чисто рофельная и не серьезная чисто шутка высмеивающая подобные жанры игр и старую крипипасту про паровозика томаса а хорором тут так чутка попахивает издалека и не скажу что это прям плохо для этой игры. При всём этом на удивление в неё приятно играть - оптимизация очень хорошая учитывая довольно большую карту и постоянные передвижения быстро по ней а её небольшая продолжительность (если не париться за зачистку карты и достяги часа 2 гдето от силы) наоборот даёт ей только плюс и идёт на пользу ведь она не успевает надоесть а отзывчивое управление и плавный геймплей не знаю как сказать более правильно позволяет с комфортом побегать и повыполнять быстрые легкие заданица без запар с кучей углубленных механик. Итог: небольшой забег приятного и плавного геймплея с небольшими отрезками экшена который не успевает приесться и надоесть за время игры и приятные конечные эмоции после финального босса. Советую к покупке если хотите чтото не сильно напрягающее но интересное - цена конечно 710 многовато но думаю учитывая плавный геймплей и оптимизацию с отсутвием багов работа над игрой была проделала достойная даже если со стороны так не кажется вот и цена за усилия создателей)
Good game, its good timepass
Слышал об этой игрушке ещё в 2022-ом когда она была на хайпе. Людей привлекла концепция жуткого поезда-паука. Однако теперь, спустя время, понятно почему игру быстро забыли и она не стала культовой как ФНАФ или Бенди, к примеру. Игра чисто на один раз, довольно лёгкая, не считая кошмарный режим (который я сам не пробовал), в игре единственный запоминающийся персонаж (не считая паука Чарльза) - Юджин, друг главного героя, остальные это просто квестодатели. Звуковое сопровождение хорошее, в целом атмосфера мрачного острова Аранеарум передана хорошо. Геймплей в игре по своему оригинальный, ведь главное наше транспортное средство поезд - который надо прокачивать по мере выполнения квестов, находящихся в разных уголках карты, поезд не только выполняет функцию быстрого перемещения, он также служит оружием. Поезд-паук Чарльз не единственный наш враг, помимо него нам предстоит бороться с членами культа, которые носят маски похожие на лицо паука. Вернее как бороться, правильнее будет сказать не попадаться им, так как миссии с ними подразумевают стелс. Который сделан на самом деле как-будто для галочки, никаких индикаторов обнаружения, возможности отвлечь врагов (например броском камня), гг даже присесть не может... Единственное что есть - возможность выглядывать из-за угла и на том спасибо. Я понимаю что это инди-игра, но некоторые моменты в ней реально ощущаются как халтура разрабов, персонажи разговаривают не открывая рта, квесты по большей части однообразные, никаких особо интересных секретов изучая карту вы не найдёте, не считая записок и банок с красками (нужные для изменения цвета поезда и получения ачивки), NPS туповатые, ну и конечно баги (их не прям много, но они есть, хотя обновы выходили не однократно). Итог: 7/10 паровозиков-паучков, брать ток по скидке.
