RailGods of Hysterra Opens First Playtest Today


RailGods of Hysterra, a cooperative base-building survival action game set in a twisted Lovecraftian dreamscape from developer Troglobytes Games and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, launched its first playtest on Steam today.

Embark on an experimental voyage into the nightmare world of Dreamers, eldritch horrors, and abominable living trains.

All are welcome: simply head to the RailGods of Hysterra Steam store page and click the green "Request Access" button.

The playtest previews several areas, including the first meeting with the astral RailGod. This monstrous fusion of steam locomotive and ancient being from beyond the stars serves as a moving base of operations.



Explore a world shaped from the nightmares of Dreamers, men and women recruited by Lovecraft himself. Fight back against the malevolent cosmic Great Old Ones running rampant on Earth.

Take down twisted foes, using their remains to feed the RailGod and continue the journey through this dark realm. Build new carriages and fill them with defenses and crafting stations to create powerful new gear and weapons.

Mix and match skill sets for distinct playstyles and see which synergistic combos work best. Conquer this dying dimension alone or with up to four friends via online co-op.

RailGods of Hysterra is coming to Early Access on PC via Steam with a new playtest accessible now. It will support English, French, German, Russian, Spanish - Spain, Portuguese - Brazil, Simplified Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Turkish languages.
