You command an armored steam train carrying a whole community out of a region that is drying up, across 8 hostile territories, to a land that can still be lived in. ## What you do Every mission is a stretch of rail with a job at the end of it: reach a station, deliver cargo, couple a stranded wagon, reconnect a signal, escort a caravan. Along the way the track forks, bridges fail, fuel runs low and people shoot at you. - **Build the consist.** Pick one of 7 locomotives and order 29 kinds of wagons behind it: gun cars, tankers, a workshop, passenger cars. Weight, crew and position all matter. - **Drive.** Throttle, reverse, switches and the boiler: every notch of traction makes heat, neutral holds it, and you release water by hand to cool down before the gauge hits red. - **Fight.** Aim manually with 16 weapons against 21 enemy types on foot, on wheels, on rails, in the air and on the water. - **Deliver.** People and cargo are physical wagons. They take space, add mass and can be hit. There are no invisible counters. ## The train is the strategy There is no skill tree hiding behind the train. What you can do in a mission is exactly what you coupled at the station: a heavier locomotive pulls more but heats faster, an extra gun car costs crew, a passenger car in the middle of the consist is a passenger car you have to protect. Reordering the train is a decision, not a menu. ## A continuous journey The campaign is one crossing: 41 stops and 81 missions across 8 chapters, 40 of them on the main line. Credits, fuel, inventory and damage carry over from one mission to the next. Failure never locks you out: every service stop is a checkpoint, and a lost mission can be retried or approached with a different train. ## Premium, offline, fair The first 8 main missions are free, with their side missions and contracts. One purchase unlocks the rest of the crossing. That is the whole business model. No ads. No energy. No loot boxes. Nothing in the game sells power, fuel, repairs or progress. The game works entirely offline, without an account or a login. ## Platforms Rails of Eternity is in development for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Web, built with Godot 4.7. Store pages on Google Play, App Store, Steam, itch.io open when the game is ready.
