$20 for this is not worth it. I finished this game in like 2 hours. Atmosphere, visuals, audio, and train gameplay is cool, but the story, characters, npcs (both passive and aggressive), and Charles himself kinda suck.

Pros:
• Charles has a scary design
• Voice acting aint too bad
• The game incentivizes you to use all your weapons
• Soundtrack is decent
• Audio is cool
• Atmosphere is spoopy
• Constantly needing scraps to upgrade and repair is unique
• Nice and unique train controls
• Cool that you can walk around the train and customize it
• Cool game for something made by one person

Cons:
• Charles appears VERY RARELY, maybe like once or twice every 30 minutes, so it gets kinda boring like I was never attacked even ONCE when I got off my train
• The story sucks
• Characters like Warren are so bland and have no backstory or anything just vague explanations
• Not a big one and personally one I ignored and has no impact on the rating, but the characters mouths don't move which can kinda feel off
• You get 2/3 of the eggs in like the first 10 minutes
• The dungeons to get said eggs are easy as hell
• If you are spotted, all you have to do is make a long and annoying run back to your train and shoot em
• Scrap quests can be a bit tedious
• Map is too big for how short the game is
• Game is short as hell (finished in 2 hours)
• Too expensive for how short it is
• Final boss is disappointing and really easy, just have a bunch of scraps to repair the train and keep switching between guns
• Anti climactic ending

Overall this game has SO MUCH POTENTIAL. If it is updated to add more story and content, it better be a free update for anyone who bought it and not DLC.
