Developer David Konecny has released the latest trailer for "Dreadline Express," a horror card adventure game set in a Lovecraftian post-apocalyptic world.
This is not a story about saving the world
Set in the 1950s, on a post-apocalyptic Earth, the few remaining humans are aboard a steam train traveling through a world of terror where all life has perished. Players take on the role of one of these passengers and, through exploration and dialogue, unravel a complex story intertwined with human fragility and desire.
No Clear Objectives or Choices
As players discover new facts and connections, they acquire playing cards that represent the knowledge they’ve gained. By freely combining these cards, they can choose their own path through the story. With no clear objectives or choices presented, the game is described as a story sandbox where the larger narrative goals gradually emerge as players continue their exploration.
