Train - Games

In gaming, trains serve as powerful narrative engines and dynamic environments. They create linear progression with optional exploration through car-to-car movement, establishing rhythm through departure-arrival cycles. Trains symbolize journeys—literal and metaphorical—forcing characters into confined social spaces that drive conflict and revelation. As moving levels, they offer changing backdrops while maintaining forward momentum, cleverly masking loading screens. From survival horror to puzzle adventures, trains frame stories about destinations, escapes, or the passage itself, making the journey as compelling as the endpoint.
