Dark Rail

Turn-based management roguelike. Command the Inquisition and rule an industrial city on the empire’s edge. Use your train to meet prisoner shipment quotas by hunting heretics and slaying magical beasts. Produce supplies, contain revolt, and sacrifice prisoners to stop the madness. Send your inquisitors out by train on deadly quests to hunt down heretics across the frontier. These expeditions cost vital supplies, can raise madness and revolt, and may leave your inquisitors wounded or broken, but they are necessary. The prisoner shipments must never stop, no matter the cost. Weigh short-term survival against long-term collapse by upgrading taxation for desperately needed income, even as it drives revolt higher. Research barracks improvements to strengthen and level your inquisitors, and pause or time buildings carefully to match your current shortages and priorities. When Revolt rises you may need to gift away supplies to calm the population and when madness rises... sacrifices will have to be made. Every choice affects Revolt, Resources, and Madness. Resource management is the key to lasting another day.
