Review
For a few years I've maintained an IFDB list for surreal games set on trains, which has turned out to be a surprisingly common genre:

I was glad to add this game to that list.
This is an Italian game. Unfortunately, my Italian is not good enough to understand everything (especially given the spooky vocabulary employed) so I enjoyed this game through the medium of Google translate, which I'm sure botched much of the feeling.
Yet I enjoyed several parts of this game. It's a Twine game about a ride on a frightening train. The train itself is organized linearly, where you can either go forward or backward, and each train car has its own surreal or horrifying elements.
While you play, background actions occur, at least one of which referenced another IF horror game.
I found some parts pretty creepy, like some of the sleeper cars.
Overall, there didn't feel like there was much direction, just ambient atmosphere, so a focus on characterization of the train more than plot. That characterization was pleasant, and there was some choices that made a difference here and there. Overall, I think I would have liked more chances to influence the world around me (although part of horror is being unable to do so!)
