The legendary Czech game VLAK, from 1993, has just arrived on Steam. Many years ago, I spent far too much time playing it in the after-school programming club. It may even have influenced what I'm doing now... who knows.

Czech & Slovak Games Week on Steam is coming to an end. The melancholy-filled Dreadline Express is a perfect fit for saying goodbye.

Very excited about the new Frankenstein movie! I just recently finished the original novel. It's incredible how many ideas resonated with me in a work that is two hundred years old. I believe @realgdt.bsky.social will do it great justice!

My purchases today have a strikingly similar vibe. Congratulations @funza15.bsky.social on the release of Hlína. What a charming, handmade adventure game! It's also time to finally catch up and play Threshold by @pataloon.bsky.social.

Dreadline Express is riding for the @devgamm.bsky.social Awards 2025!
Yesterday, my game was accepted into the competition for a chance to win part of the $100,000 prize pool. More importantly, though, it is a chance to gain visibility.

Fingers crossed!

Hey! My friends at Perun Creative just released a deep dive into their upcoming project, Kromlech. Pay particular attention to the exquisite helmets crafted from intricately stitched human faces.
Delightful!

#DreadlineExpress on a (small) silver screen on Gamer Pie festival in Brno. I even managed to exceed the one-hour time slot — a strange flex, but there was still plenty to talk about. The game's content is growing!

Dreadline Express has reached four-digit wishlist territory! Over 1,000 souls currently await the arrival of the phantasmal train.

Not among them? There’s still time to board. The train can always use more human sacrifices.

Still on vacation. So, are we there yet? #DreadlineExpress #indiegame #WishlistWednesday

Vacation starts tomorrow—taking my first real break from #DreadlineExpress in what feels like ages.

We're at 93 followers on Steam. Would love to return next week and see it hit triple digits.

Help me make it happen! Wishlist, follow, and tell your friends.

“Dreadline Express sounds like a perfect fit for fans of Outer Wilds or Blue Prince.”
I sure hope so! My goal with Dreadline Express is to provide a narrative experience that puts the player in charge and allows them to be smart.
