About Dreadline Express
Dreadline Express puts you aboard the last human train, a moving relic that cuts through a scarred Earth. A handful of survivors occupy its cars, each hiding a fragment of a larger mystery that you must piece together.
The game records discoveries with a card‑based narrative system. Every new card expands the album, opening fresh connections and possibilities as you explore, choose allies or foes, and confront obstacles in any manner you deem fit.
