Drive a train around an ash-covered world collecting ingredients for the last ever s'more as an anthropomorphic bird in the surreal and comically ominous Cinderline

Cinderline is an upcoming game that puts you in the role of an anthropomorphic, silent bird, tasked with gathering the ingredients for the last ever s more. The primary means of travel is aboard a train that carries you from town to town. As a walking simulator with platformer elements, you control the bird, which can hop around the environment, and manage a pair of levers on the train, allowing you to control its movement and speed.

The game's opening scene features the bird hatching into existence, with little context about the world it inhabits, much like the surreal setting of Angel's Egg. Throughout the short demo, you explore various towns, each with strange and peculiar inhabitants that provide you with tasks. One town, engulfed in mysterious, snowy ash, requires you to retrieve a piece of toast for a frightened toaster, in return for a reward.

Another enigmatic character offers you a pickaxe in exchange for a crumb of the toast. Eventually, you encounter a sentient, cigar-smoking balloon that is eaten by a gigantic mouth, leaving behind a stick that you need to collect in order to complete your quest for the last s more. The game's atmosphere is a delightful contrast between vibrant, colorful characters and an ominous, surreal setting.

While the game's purpose is unclear, the mystery and charm make it an intriguing prospect for players seeking a unique gaming experience. Cinderline is currently available for wishlist on Steam, and players can also try the demo before making a decision.
