Express 404

Drive a storm-ridden night train, manage your speed and your passengers — one of them is a mimic. Build powerful upgrades between stations, reach dangerous quotas, expose the monster, or profit from chaos in this roguelite paranoia simulator.

Screenshots

From the Steam store

You are the last thing between order and disaster.

You drive a night train through endless storms. Passengers sit behind you. One of them is not human.

Every ride is different. Every mistake costs money. Every station demands a higher quota.

This is a roguelite train-driver paranoia simulator where survival is only part of the job.

Watch the Storm

The train only moves while you hold the lever. Release it - and speed drops.

Monitor:

Maximum speed

Acceleration

Drag

Lightning rate

Lightning duration

Distance to station

Reach the quota before arrival — or fail the run.

But driving is the easy part.

Identify the mimic

There are 4–8 passengers. One is a mimic.

It can only kill during lightning flashes. For a split second, something changes: Red eyes. A movement. A missing silhouette.

Kick the wrong passenger — lose profit. Ignore the mimic — lose lives.

The longer the ride, the hungrier it becomes.

Build the Train. Break the System

Between stations, buy upgrades that radically change the run:

Increase lightning frequency

Reduce safe time between kills

Profit from dead passengers

Boost maximum speed

Increase kill chance

Reveal subtle signs

Manipulate hunger

Turn chaos into income

You can build for:

Fast delivery

Maximum suspicion control

High-risk death economy

Lightning abuse strategies

Find broken combinations. Push the system. See how far you can go before the quota crushes you.
