Faraway Train Expands Its Journey to Consoles
Good news for console gamers who love a good mystery: the atmospheric story-driven adventure game, Faraway Train, is making its way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles this year. Developed by AMATA Games and Tatamibeya, the title has been available on PC via Steam since 2021, offering players a unique narrative experience aboard a mysterious train.
Unraveling a Catastrophic Past
In Faraway Train, players find themselves on an unknown, old-fashioned train with a critical mission: to uncover the life story of Empress Roxelana. Legend has it that Roxelana used an ancient astronomical disk to bring the world to catastrophe. Your task is to piece together when and where she utilized this powerful, dangerous device.
The journey aboard the train is not straightforward. Progress is gated by locked doors, and the keys to these doors are significant dates from Roxelana's pivotal life events. Each unlocked door reveals another piece of her history, slowly unveiling the truth behind the catastrophe. As you explore the train's intricate wagons, the scenery outside the windows continuously shifts, generated procedurally to offer a dynamic backdrop to your investigation.
Beyond the Main Story
Aside from the main story mode, Faraway Train also offers a 'free mode'. This allows players to simply wander through the train's cars at their leisure, choose any seat to relax in, gaze out at the ever-changing landscapes, or even delve into EPUB-formatted files to uncover additional lore and details. It’s a perfect way to immerse yourself further in the game's unique atmosphere without the pressure of the main narrative.
The arrival of Faraway Train on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series means a broader audience can now experience this intriguing adventure. Console players will soon have the chance to step aboard, explore the train's secrets, and unravel the dark legacy of Empress Roxelana from the comfort of their living rooms.
