Pandemic Train

Pandemic Train is a survival strategy game with roguelike elements, set in an alternative timeline of the 20th century. You command the crew and passengers aboard a steam-powered train crossing a wasteland devastated by war and a deadly plague. Your goal is to keep the train moving long enough for your scientists to develop a cure, and save the remnants of humanity.

The plague and the wasteland

A mysterious virus kills infected people within 24 hours. The epidemic decimates the world’s population, triggering panic, riots and war, and leaving the world in ruins. You explore the wasteland, gather resources and fight bandits and desperate people who will do anything to stop your search for a cure. Hungry wolves also roam the area.

Keep the train running

Resources are scarce, and people may die along the way, so you must manage supplies carefully and minimize losses. You grow food, breed livestock, gather and purify drinking water, and maintain an ammunition supply. You also turn scrap and junk into useful items. Medicine is often in short supply, forcing you to decide who receives treatment and who may suffer or be left to die.

Find a cure

The longer you keep the train moving, the less likely the crew is to encounter the virus, giving your scientists more time to work on medication and develop a vaccine. You can customize the train by choosing how many people travel aboard and how many cars are attached to the engine. A larger party is harder to keep in check.
