Choo-Choo Charles

Choo-Choo Charles is a horror story about a train that hunts passengers: a train with a monster named Charles runs along the island rails. There is almost nowhere to hide from him, so you have to run and shoot. The player travels around the map on his train, outfitting it with armor, a machine gun and a flamethrower. Fuel and ammunition are replenished at stations and in abandoned houses. Quests are given out by local residents, and in return they give parts for improvements. The island can be explored on foot, but rails limit the route. Charles hears the sound of a train and comes to the tracks, so it is better to plan the route in advance. At the stations you come across notes about who this group was before. For the sake of the map and details, you have to climb into mines and hospitals. During the day, movement is safer, but at night the monster behaves more boldly. The train's body kit increases gradually: first the armor, then the guns. Some survivors ask to be taken to a safe place, and they pay for it. The train can be repainted and re-equipped to suit your needs, right down to the turrets on the roof. Along the way, you come across carriages left by the previous owners, and they contain supplies. Charles appears without warning, so it's best not to linger on the tracks. Each new gun requires parts and money. Some stations are occupied by survivors, and you can trade with them. You can leave the train on the tracks and leave on foot, but then it is without protection. Local residents give tips if you help them with things. The denouement comes down to one fight, where preparation decides. Anyone who likes short horror games with a chase will find this game perfect.
