Podstakannik Rails
Launches 9 October 2026 · PC · Adventure, Casual, Indie
A cozy first-person co-op game for 1–4 players, set on an overnight sleeper train. Brew tea at the samovar, tune the radio, make up your berth, and talk to whoever is close enough to hear you. No goals, nothing to win or lose — just the rhythm of the rails and good company.

Podstakannik Rails is a cozy first-person co-op game set on an overnight sleeper train. Up to four of you board at the station, settle into a compartment, and ride together. There are no quests and no score. What matters is the tea, the rhythm of the rails, and the people you brought along. Voices fade with distance: talk to whoever is close enough to hear you, or walk to the other end of the car for some quiet. Most of what happens on a trip is a conversation. The train is the excuse for it. The TV and the radio Paste a YouTube link into the old set in one of the compartments, and it plays on a loop for everyone on board, like a broadcast: whoever drops in catches the same moment. The radio — flip the switch on the compartment wall for an old tune everyone nearby can hear, or off and on again to shuffle. The tape player — play your own music in one of the compartments: just drop your tracks into the game's music folder. Only you can hear it. Tea from the samovar Grab a glass in its podstakannik (the classic holder for train tea), fill it, sip it, and leave it on any table. There are only four glasses in the whole car. Your berth Make up your berth, sit by the window,...
