Shrine Train

Genre and premise

Shrine Train is a character-driven survival narrative game set on a train during apocalyptic times. Players do not control the train itself but make decisions for a group of characters who face various challenges as they navigate daily life aboard the train. Decisions involve whom to send on expeditions, what trades to make, and how to handle unpredictable encounters.

Daily decision-making

During the daytime, you select a team to go out, determining how intensely they should search for resources while ensuring someone is left to guard the train. The choices made have repercussions, as characters possess their own desires and fears. How encounters unfold is determined by a combination of character statistics, train condition, and situational modifiers that affect the outcome of each decision.
