I've been waiting 6(?) years to play this game and finally got a chance to play the first half last week, and I think it might be my game of the year?

Just starting to play, but it's already exceeding my expectations! Beautiful art, cute music, and it has really found a way to bring something new to the format from Cosmic Express!

Spooky Express is OUT NOW on PC and Mobile! 🚂🎃

All the passengers are dying to ride the Spooky Express! Don’t let them miss their stops: they may be monsters, but they still have places to be and people to eat – er, we mean meet!
