Paid horror train game
Choo-Choo Charles is a unique horror game that combines the railroad with a demonic spider inhabiting a train. The island you’re on has a landscape that’s lined with train tracks, a tool you’ll use to get around and escape the antagonist as he tries to devour you.
While Choo-Choo Charles is a unique horror game, there are many great alternatives to try out if you enjoy the genre. Andy’s Apple Farm and Fears to Fathom both offers a different experience that plays on your fears. Siren Head uses the unnatural image of a large creature without a proper face.
Survive
Your biggest challenge since the moment you start up the game of Choo-Choo Charles is to survive in this strange landscape. You’ll need to explore buildings, help settlers with their quests, and upgrade your weapons and gear.

Periodically and at key points, you’ll encounter Charles in the wild, and need to run away as fast as possible. Often running means shooting at him as your train tries to outpace Charles. This gameplay can prove challenging as Charles can appear while you’re exploring away from your train.
The story
In Choo-Choo Charles, you play as a monster-hunting archivist. Charles, the demonic monster, is a spider-train hybrid that stalks the island you find yourself on. To take down this beast, you embark on a journey to upgrade the small train you discovered and turn it into an effective base, transportation, and weapon.
It’s not perfect
Choo-Choo Charles isn’t without its issues but doesn’t suffer any major game-breaking bugs. Character mouths may not move while talking, and you’ll encounter a few other graphical bugs. However, these won’t interfere with the gameplay itself.
Follow the tracks
Choo-Choo Charles is a unique experience that will see you drive a train around an island as you avoid a giant demonic monster. The only way to advance is to complete quests and find new weapons and tools to help you face Charles, eventually defeating him as the story ends.
The title isn’t perfect but has its charm when being played on the PC. The horror aspect and the need to survive offer an exciting gameplay experience, but require players to be 16 or older before playing due to blood and other graphic themes.
