Choo-choo Charles

Welcome to Aranearum Island, a place where the air hangs thick with salt, fear, and the metallic stench of a nightmare on rails. You've been summoned here—a monster-hunting archivist—to deal with a problem that can't be solved with a simple noise complaint. The locals call him Charles. He's not your friendly neighborhood locomotive; he's a monstrous spider-train hybrid with a permanent, grotesque grin and an insatiable hunger for human flesh. He patrols the island's tracks, a terrifying, sentient predator who can appear from the treeline at any moment, his hellish whistle announcing a pursuit that only ends in death. Your only hope is an old, rusty yellow train, gifted to you with a single, mounted machine gun. It's your mobile fortress, your lifeline, and the key to surviving this island. To defeat Charles, you'll need to traverse the dangerous, open-world environment, complete perilous quests for the scattered, terrified townspeople, and collect scrap to upgrade your train's armor, speed, and firepower. But be warned: cultists are at work, and the dark origins of Charles run deeper than anyone knows. Will you be the one to finally put a stop to this engine of terror, or will you just become the monster's next meal? The tracks are laid, the gun is loaded, and the whistle is blowing. Choo-Choo Charles is coming.
