Your train is your moving base
Frostrail is an open-world survival-crafting FPS set in a frozen empire corrupted by the Void. Revenants and eldritch horrors haunt the same ruins you must search for food, fuel and materials.
Your armored steam train carries shelter, storage and crafting stations with you. Reinforce its walls, feed the Eden Engine and add the systems needed for longer expeditions. Every trip away from the train is a choice between finding more supplies and getting back before the cold becomes deadly.
You can play alone or in online co-op. Read the beginner guide for practical first steps, or check the Closed Beta page for access details.
