Weave ancient spells and powers obtained through unearthing mysteries and obtaining obscure relics, giving Faye the power to control the very plants and animals that live within the ruins.

“A cooperative multiplayer game where you have to work together with your friends to build a railway track across endless procedurally generated worlds. Master random encounters with its inhabitants, upgrade your train and keep it from derailing!”
I thought this was quite intriguing and it reminded me a bit of Overcooked just with locomotives. The regular speed gameplay looks a bit peaceful but reading some stuff by people who played it at PAX East it does seem to invoke a similar kind of stress from all the things you have to manage including clearing land, gathering materials, building the rails, and making sure your train doesn’t catch on fire.
