Hey there!
If you enjoyed A Monster's Expedition, then you might also enjoy what we've been working on lately here at Draknek & Friends.
Plan the train route for the world’s spookiest theme park! All the passengers are all just dying to ride the Spooky Express.
Pick up the creepy cryptids and drop them at their destinations around the park. But be careful! Don’t let them scare or bite the human passengers. Stay on track of the situation or you’ll have a grave problem.
Spooky Express is great follow-up to our other award-winning thinky puzzle game, Cosmic Express and will feature over 100 unique levels with countless monsters, maps and mechanics.
If that sounds like something you might be interested in, please give us a wishlist on Steam, or share the trailer below.
