Choo-Choo Charles is a 2022 open-world survival horror game where you navigate an island in an old, upgradable train while being hunted by an evil spider-train named Charles.
Reviewers on Metacritic often highlight its "joyful jank"—a mix of low-budget indie charm and genuinely terrifying encounters.
You explore, collect scrap metal to upgrade your train’s speed and armor, and complete quests for bizarre NPCs.
