RailGods of Hysterra Overview
RailGods of Hysterra is a multiplayer survival horror game developed by Troglobytes Games and published by Digital Vortex Entertainment, with a planned release in 2025. Set in the nightmarish world of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos, the game places players in charge of the operation and upkeep of a monstrous, rail-bound entity known as the RailGod, navigating a landscape devastated by the arrival of the Great Old Ones.
Blending crafting, gathering, and combat mechanics, players must maintain their RailGod’s favor while journeying through the Dreamlands, a realm filled with eerie and otherworldly horrors inspired by Lovecraft’s universe. The objective is to reach the heart of the corruption, but until then, they must continue to brave the unknowable dangers of the Dreamlands.

RailGods of Hysterra Gameplay
RailGods of Hysterra is a multiplayer survival horror game built around three core mechanics: resource gathering, combat, and RailGod upkeep. Players take on the role of Dreamers, individuals venturing into the Dreamlands in search of a way to undo the devastation caused by the arrival of the Old Ones. To accomplish this, they must guide the RailGod—an unsettling fusion of steam engine and Shoggoth—toward its final destination.
The game is presented in a top-down isometric perspective, with players exploring different regions of the Dreamlands to collect essential resources such as wood, stone, leather, and food. These materials serve multiple purposes, including restoring health, satisfying hunger and thirst, crafting items, and constructing new components for the RailGod.
Combat unfolds in real time, requiring players to balance attacks, dodges, and abilities within a set range. The mechanics share similarities with titles like Diablo and Nobody Wants to Die, while also incorporating certain elements reminiscent of Dark Souls, albeit in a less direct manner.
Maintaining the RailGod is a critical aspect of survival, demanding regular upkeep and expansion. Players must feed it human flesh, repair its parts, and continuously enhance its design using the materials they gather. Its sustenance is vital; should it stop moving before reaching the heart of the Dreamlands, the journey will end with the players left stranded.
