What is “FARAWAY TRAIN”?
Some folk call these barren plains the narrow space between this world and the next.
The final place for souls to find a measure of peace.
Inside a train that runs forever, we chase the downfall of an empire that once boasted eternal glory and the clues of a noble girl forgotten and thrown about by history.
And the destination of the train is…
Story
The protagonist awakens inside an unfamiliar old-fashioned train and is told to trace the fleeting life of the fallen Emperor Roxelana, who led the world to ruin using the ancient magical artifact “Nebula’s Astrolabe,” and to uncover when and where it was used. By exploring the clues within the train and deducing the significant years of Roxelana’s life to input into the door of the train car, the door to the next car opens.
Gameplay mechanics
– An adventure game where you explore each train car and solve puzzles to escape.
– Between the train cars, there are button-locked doors that cannot be passed without solving the puzzles.
