What is \u201cFARAWAY TRAIN\u201d?<\/strong><\/span>
\nSome folk call these barren plains the narrow space between this world and the next.
\nThe final place for souls to find a measure of peace.
\nInside 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.
\nAnd the destination of the train is…<\/p>\n

Story<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe 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.<\/p>\n

Gameplay mechanics\u200b<\/strong><\/span>
\n– An adventure game where you explore each train car and solve puzzles to escape.
\n– Between the train cars, there are button-locked doors that cannot be passed without solving the puzzles.
\n– Additionally, there are safes and mysterious treasure chests that require finding keys to obtain hints.
\n– Decode hints from letters and notes to discover the downfall of an empire that boasted eternal glory and the clues of a noble girl forgotten by history.
\n– The player will never see the same landscape twice, procedurally generated beautiful and vast scenery spreading endlessly through the train windows.
\n– A free mode has also been implemented, allowing you to walk freely around the train, sit in any seat you like, look out the window, and read novels.<\/p>\n
