Horrific spider train Choo-Choo Charles arrives this holiday

On the tracks, everyone can hear you scream.

Sleeping is overrated, right? At least, that’s what I keep telling myself after watching the latest Choo-Choo Charles trailer — a grim reminder that someone thought trains, spiders, and clowns should be frankensteined-together. 

On Monday, developer Two Star Games announced that Choo-Choo Charles is coming out on Dec. 9, 2022, for PC. This first-person indie horror game is about fighting off a clown-faced train with spider legs on some remote island. No, that’s not a joke. 

Check out the release date announcement trailer for Choo-Choo Charles below. It looks like the titular train has some kind of nest with eggs – hey, can we not?

There also appears to be a narrative with voice acting, which isn’t all that common in low-budget horror games like this. The crafting system looks surprisingly in-depth, too, as you’ll have a fully customizable train to navigate the open world. This one doesn’t have razor-sharp teeth, thankfully. 

Choo-Choo Charles has been a curiosity to many since its reveal last year. Despite the ludicrous premise, it’s pretty clear that is putting a fair degree of effort into Choo-Choo Charles. We’ll find out how it’ll turn out this holiday — well, those enough who are brave enough to step into the conductor’s seat, anyway.

‘Choo-Choo Charles’ is a cursed horror game where you run from a clown-face train with spider legs

Thomas the Tank Engine, but extremely cursed.

Were you planning on sleeping tonight? Well, like it or not, Choo-Choo Charles  is here to ensure that doesn’t happen. 

This open-world indie horror title from developer Two Star Games is about an eldritch tank engine that wants to feast on your innards. The train is also part spider because of course it is.

Choo-Choo Charles came out of nowhere earlier this week when an announcement trailer from Two Star Games went viral. Charles, the titular cursed-as-heck tank engine, is terrorizing an island community by… eating everyone. Thankfully you’ll have a train of your own with a mounted machine gun to (hopefully) save islanders before they all end up as train food. Despite the weird premise, Choo-Choo Charles looks quite well put together.

Check out the announcement trailer for Choo-Choo Charles for yourself below.

Choo-Choo Charles  doesn’t have a release date yet, though its Steam page lists a vague “Q1 2022.” So the game might be out around January, February, or March of next yet. Plenty of time for you to work up some semblance of courage for this surprisingly unsettling premise.
