When I started Crystal Rail, I had a vague paper prototype and no programmer, but I did have many years of storyboard experience. As our demo release approaches, let's see what 3 years has done to that vision!

Meet the Tarpan, loveable gentle giant types, who are content to ferry passengers on humble trains. But the world of Crystal Rail may meet their kindness with treachery. Will you stand by your morals?

Don't know if we're your speed exactly, but our game has a definite lack of jumpscares, and its skill is of a thoughtful and paced nature~ And it also has train conductors inspired by extinct animals!

To make this point, I just did a run out of the blue with yellow deck, gold stake; I died on ante 6, mostly because I got really unlucky with 3 tarot packs which didn't give me what I needed; basically this deck requires you to have trips or quads, and if you do, it multiplies X12. Gl!

What I'm hearing is.. YOU ROCK and so does your game xD
The difference between us an Sisyphus is that every time we push the stone up the hill, it gets to be a cooler rock and more people come around to watch~ And eventually, we may have a pretty cool rock!

I made the first drawings for Crystal Rail almost 3 years ago and actually recorded a #timelapse of the process. I returned to one of those early backgrounds recently and recorded a new timelapse for comparison - have we improved?

The aurochs know more than they let on. They give you 2 foresight every morning which lets you reroll train cars, train routes, or even entire governments! If you want a control-build in Crystal Rail, you're gonna need an auroch~

Earlier versions of Crystal Rail showed your opponent's actions one by one. Every tester ended up skipping them. We reworked the entire UI and this #screenshotsaturday we proudly present a new screen which shows all opponent actions simultaneously!

Crystal Rail uniquely emphasizes anticipation and prediction. For a cost, you can often reroll or even predict the next day's events. In that spirit, we've got something brewing ourselves for tomorrow... What could it be? Stay turned 😉

AWL is solid, 64 will always hold a place in my heart, as will original 2002 Animal Crossing. But I think Adam Robinson-Yu's A Short Hike will always be the game that packed so much beauty, joy, and heart into a game that it became a 'place' I will always treasure.

The greasefish, true to their name, are the mechanics of Crystal Rail and can purchase train cars for 1 favor less than normal. Cars usually cost 1 favor, so one greasefish makes cars free! But what if you had two greasefish 😉
