Feels like we all just got off this train :P...
No thanks, I've had my fill of post-apoc "roll in the drudgery of the horror of the bleakness" themes.

Gimme some good post-bounce scenarios about rebuilding.

Yeh the train is late a few years... But maybe its for the better.
Just curious but when did this game first start development? After or before 2020?

Yeah it's a bit suspect, If I was making a legitimate game under this title before 2020 i'd have since changed it to something so it doesn't sound like a buzzword cash in. Call it Plague Train or something.

Survival management + top-down shooter .

I feel so tired: Survival management + top-down shooter .
Sorry to correct you but it's not "top-down", it's more an isometric perspective. :)
I miss Pandemic

I was thinking of more of the predictive programming aspect of it. Like those movies that were in development about a pandemic before the pandemic and forced lockdowns happened. I see you Event 201.

Yeah I get you, I was actually being a bit sarcastic in my previous comment, though given the cheap, eurojank look I am leaning more towards this being a post 2020 cash in title more than it being a product of predictive programming, if the game was in development that long, then they've missed the mark in every way.

Except that there's this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ThisWarofMine/comments/iu0lol/hi_there_pandemic_train_dev_here_the_game_you_can/

It's dated from 4 years ago, so 2020.

As you can see, the picture that the Pandemic Train developer shared in the r/ThisWarofMine looks nothing like the final game. From that picture, I am guessing that what they were originally going for with Pandemic Train was This War of Mine + Snowpiercer + COVID.

edit - Final game suggests that Pandemic Train devs decided to toss in some Fallout while they were at it.

So much about that, eh GoG?
I feel like this is a few years late.
Has anyone played the game yet? Is it fun? Or is it boring like staying at home during the pandemic?
