Description
All the passengers are dying to ride the Spooky Express! They may be monsters, but they still have places to be and people to eat – er, we mean meet!
Take charge of the Spooky Express; the only rail service willing to carry the undead passengers of deepest, darkest Trainsylvania. In your new role, you'll plan routes and lay train tracks to meet your creepy commuters' demands, and create a rail network spanning more than 150 thoughtfully designed levels.
Trainsylvania spans a host of unique locations, with each puzzle forming a cosy diorama, complete with spooky soundtrack. Whether you're probing the Pumpkin Patch, meandering through the Morbid Manor, or investigating the Impish Inferno, you'll find playful touches and surprises around every corner.
