Goblins, witches, fairies, ghosts and vampires have no place in the human world, so they live on a train humans cannot see. Players take their place as Conductor of the Veil Express: couple on carriages, fill them with homes and workshops, and watch every room come alive in cross-section as the train rolls on.

FIVE HOUSES, ONE TRAIN

Each House arrives with its own homes, workshops and needs, and none of them can manage alone. Goblins cook the food three Houses live on, witches enchant what the fairies need, and ghosts and vampires both rely on the fairies' Liquid Life.

THE VEIL IS YOUR MONEY AND YOUR CLOAK

Happy residents create the Veil, the magic that conceals the Express from the outside world. Building spends it, and workshops draw on it as they work. Players expand carefully, balance production with upkeep, and prepare for Inquisitor patrols that make the train harder to hide.

KEY FEATURES

• A home on hidden rails. A side-scrolling cutaway train where every room is hand-drawn pixel art and bustles with life.
• Five Houses, interlinked. Goblins, Witches, Fairies, Ghosts and Vampires each bringing their own production chains.
• Spend the Veil wisely. The Veil is both your money and your cloak: spend too much and the train is exposed.
• Five journeys. Begin with The Longest Journey, which ends with a choice of five endings; face harsher lands and demanding passengers in The Night Veil; give each House its own carriage in Separate Ways; take on the special challenge The Lost Carriages; or relax in the endless Sandbox Express.
• Play your way. Roughly 4 to 6 hours for a first story, longer for the full set of journeys and endings.
• StreamDeck Compatible.

TRY THE DEMO

The free demo, The Light Veil, is a shorter journey taken from the main game and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. It is available to download on Steam from today.
