horror game Steam Choo Choo Charles, which sees you battling a monstrous eight-legged creature that looks like Thomas the Tank Engine, launches today, bringing back Bethesda RPGs and those terrifying Skyrim mods that replaced dragons and monsters with a cute train. , and moved right into our nightmares.
With a Pennywise smile and several giant spider limbs, the eponymous Charles stalks you around the sandbox island as you attempt to complete missions and turn your train into a steam-powered killing machine.
Machine guns, rockets, huge armor plates - as you complete missions for the island's naturally fearful populace, you gradually transform your cute yellow locomotive into a Mad Max-style fighting machine, all the while trying to avoid and fight off the bloodthirsty Chu-Chu who roams the countryside like a coal-burning Mr. X.
"Adult content description" says Choo Choo Charles' page on Steam. "Blood, gore, and people being eaten alive by a spider train." It's a thrilling mix of open world survival, RPG-style customization, and nightmarish children's TV. Once you've collected enough upgrades and decide you're ready to take on Charles, you summon him one last time for a vicious fight to the death.
I still remember the first time I saw a Skyrim mod that turned Paarthurnax into Thomas the Tank Engine. An ominous whistle. It's the same smiling face. Chu-Chu-Charles is like him, but worse, and the whole game. Get your own first class ticket to fear right now, courtesy of Choo Choo Charles at Steam.
