Gaming News Choo-Choo Charles: Thomas, the hardcore version of the train, returns to Summer Game Fest 2022, nightmarish gameplay
In video games, all means are good to get out of the game, including distorting childish franchises and damaging our nostalgic memories. Choo-Choo Charles does just that with impressive efficiency.
A not so cool train
Remember: in October 2021, The Choo-Choo Charles video game caused quite a stir on the internet thanks to its tormented concept.
His announcement trailer was then unveiled a survival horror in which the player embodies a desperate character who must traverse an entire forest map in a locomotive… but is being pursued by a spider train straight from hell. You have to see it to believe it, but this game, developed by tiny studio Two Star Games, is actually a reality.

Choo-Choo Charles made his comeback during Summer Game Fest 2022, during the show reserved for independent developers that followed the opening ceremony. We weren’t particularly expecting to see him there, and yet: proof that this totally wacky title is getting attention.
So we can admire a glimpse of gameplay (found above) that demonstrates some game mechanics. In fact, we must leave our train at our own risk to recover the resources necessary for the machine to function properly. ; Phases of machine gun shooting are also planned to fend off Charles, who we definitely don’t want in our close circle.
Choo-Choo Charles is coming to PC this year.
