Tempus Rail

Tempus Rail is a deck-building game set aboard a train trapped in a temporal rift. Once hailed as the greatest invention of the 1800s, the vast locomotive breached the rift and gave its passengers eternal life. They travelled through time at a speed that reset each day, free from consequences and death, but the train never stopped after its maiden voyage ended. Countless cycles later, chaos has taken hold, and few passengers have kept their sanity.

You are among the survivors barricaded in the rear of the train. Fight through its carriages and try to reach the front before the day ends, in the hope of stopping the locomotive.

Turn-based combat

Combat is turn-based, and your deck is central to survival. You can collect rare and powerful cards from fallen enemies or through optional story missions and quests. Each run starts with a different deck as you unlock abilities connected to mysterious crystal shards growing on the outside of the train.

Death and progression

The passengers are cursed with eternal life, so death brings you back to your bed the next morning and gives you another opportunity to progress. Encounters change from day to day as factions beyond the barricade fight for control in a conflict without end.

A changed Wild West

The world is a Wild West shaped by technological advances absent from our own history. You encounter machines awakening to their own existence, as well as people seeking bodily modifications considered unholy.
