Spooky Express is a chaotic management game where you run a railway for the afterlife. Spirits are in a hurry to get their 'Boo-mail' delivered, and it’s your job to switch tracks and manage schedules to prevent spectral collisions. As you earn 'Soul Coins,' you can upgrade your train with faster engines and bigger mail cars. With its charming 'spooky-cute' art style, it’s a fun and frantic challenge for all ages.
The gameplay loop is deceptively simple but ramps up in complexity very quickly. You'll find yourself frantically tapping junctions to ensure the ghost trains don't collide, all while trying to maximize your delivery efficiency. The upgrade system feels meaningful, and the 'Phase Shift' ability is a literal lifesaver in the later, more crowded levels. It's a perfect blend of strategy and arcade-style reflexes.

Take charge of the Spooky Express; the only rail service willing to carry the undead passengers of deepest, darkest Trainsylvania. In your new role you'll plan routes and lay train tracks to meet your creepy commuters' demands, and create a rail network spanning more than 200 thoughtfully designed levels.
Each monster has a home of their own: take the vampires to their coffins and the zombies to their graves, and escort the interloping humans away before they’re snacked upon. There’s only room for one at a time in the passenger car and the track can’t cross itself, so plot your route carefully, lay the tracks, and don't let the train miss its stops.
Trainsylvania spans a host of unique locations, with each puzzle forming a cosy diorama, complete with spooky soundtrack. Whether you're puzzling through the Pumpkin Patch, meandering through the Morbid Manor, or investigating the Impish Inferno, you'll find playful touches and surprises around every corner.
• An elegant, playful puzzler, jam-packed with monsters and mechanics.

• Created by the award-winning designers of A Monster's Expedition, A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build, Cosmic Express and more.

Tapping a junction icon switches the track. Look ahead to the next delivery point to set your route before the train actually reaches the junction.

Prioritize the 'Phase Shift' upgrade. This allows your train to pass through one obstacle per level without crashing, which is vital for the late-game stages.
Not at all! It has a friendly 'spooky-cute' theme similar to Casper or The Nightmare Before Christmas.
