The Black Route

The Black Route is an atmospheric low-poly horror game about keeping a train secure during a 10-day contract to deliver goods along the Black Rails. From the front cabin, you manage the train while supernatural beings that were once human try to get inside.

The contract

You leave your work on the Southern lines after Sophie becomes afflicted. To pay for her Affliction Treatment quickly, you take a well-paid job carrying supplies and weapons between settlements and cities separated by deep supernatural Medium hotspots. The pay should also cover a second treatment if the route afflicts you.

Protect the train

You manage the horn pressure and Medium to secure the cabin, and open and move cargo to protect yourself from Callers. You also check and apply the right codes to reset power in the cabin and carriages. Enough cargo must survive the nights for you to reach one of three endings.
