About
Not every train that sets out on the Widow's Run is fortunate enough to return. Few conductors have braved this cold expanse and survived, fewer still have braved it and kept their wits intact to tell the tale. Desperate accounts told by men driven to the edge; stories of madness, storms, deadly cold… and strange creatures lurking in the darkness. Fight your way to escape the rails and outrun the storm in this single-player, survival horror game.
As the sole engineer on this journey, you must maintain your locomotive's heat, steam, and speed levels to progress. Be careful, as too much, or too little, of any of these resources could end in disaster.
As if managing an operational locomotive wasn’t difficult enough, you will also have to contend with the creatures haunting Widow’s Run. These creatures are rumored to be attracted to heat and movement, making you and your locomotive a prime target among the icy wastes of the mountain pass.
Only through careful balance will you be able to pilot and defend your train on the treacherous path through Widow's Run. So with your only way out being forward, will you be able to make it to the end?
• Manage the Heat, Steam, and Speed of Your Train - Each dial is a careful balancing act to keep your train moving.
• Defend Yourself - Armed only with a double-barrel shotgun and the sound of the train’s whistle, you must fight off the various creatures who will stop at nothing to end your journey.
• Explore the Mysteries of Widow's Run and Discover its Secrets - Not everything is as it seems. Will you be able to discover the hidden secrets of the mountain pass?
• Short Horror Narrative - Approximately 40 minutes of Playtime.

Reviews
This is one of the most engaging games I've ever played, which is amazing, given how simple it actually is. I was instantly blown away by the somber, yet hopeful winter vibe the whole thing carried throughout, and the sprinkles of lore keep me wondering in just the right way to keep it that way. It's all a matter of budgeting your time skillfully between all the mounting threats, which comes with experience, and is a very fun learning curve that never feels too steep. Think of Tetris. The endless mode is great in that way as well, especially with the custom settings you get to play with. To the devs, thank you for this underappreciated gem. Also, for the younger or more general squeamish gamers out there, don't worry. The only jumpscare can be easily prevented, and if you glance away from your screen while shoveling coal, you don't have to worry about it :)
