🎲 THE LAST ROLL

Ten carriages stand between you and salvation. But this train has no intention of letting you leave alive.

You wake up in the last carriage of a mysterious train. Ahead lie dark corridors, locked doors, and creatures that were once human.

Your only hope is to fight your way through all ten carriages and reach the locomotive.

But you don't have any ordinary weapons. Instead, you wield magical dice. And every roll could be your last.

GAME FEATURES

Magical Dice Weapons

Forget pistols and machine guns. Your weapon is a set of magical dice with unique properties. Every roll determines how much damage you deal. Choose the right die and use its abilities to survive.

Ten Carriages of Terror

Each carriage is more dangerous than the last. Enemies become stronger, their numbers increase, and familiar monsters grow deadlier. Your ultimate goal is to reach the locomotive.

Different Types of Enemies

You'll encounter several types of monsters along the way:

  • Wanderers — slowly approach the player.
  • Jumpers — wait for the right moment before launching a sudden attack.
  • Armored Ones — slow, heavily protected, and difficult to defeat.
  • Tricksters — fast enemies that are hard to hit.

Rescue Survivors

You may find other survivors hiding in the carriages. Rescue them, and they will join your journey. Each companion has a unique specialty and helps you become stronger.

Upgrades and Progression

Improve your weapons, increase your damage, reduce your throwing cooldown, and extend your attack range. Spend upgrade tokens to choose how your character develops.

The Final Showdown

At the end of the journey, you'll face the Conductor — the master of this nightmare train. He changes his tactics as his health decreases, unleashes dangerous attacks, and won't give up the locomotive without a fight.
