Publisher PLAYISM and developer LydiaBluebell have announced Midnight Train: New Moon, a remake of the acclaimed 2020 2D horror and adventure game. This title, planned for PC via Steam in 2027 with multilingual support, is an enhanced version of the original free RPG Maker game. The story follows Luna Wyndell, a girl traveling by train who, after being left behind in a mysterious void, teams up with aspiring detective Neil Lawton to explore a strange building, solve puzzles, and uncover the truth through fragments.
A remake with its own engine and technical improvements 🚂
Midnight Train: New Moon leaves behind the RPG Maker engine to adopt a custom development system that allows for more detailed graphics and dynamic lighting. The gameplay maintains its focus on exploration and puzzle-solving, but with refined controls and a smoother camera. The team has redesigned some areas of the building to offer alternative routes and additional secrets. Integration of Steam achievements and leaderboards has been confirmed, although minimum PC system requirements have not been detailed.
Because getting off the train is never a good idea 🚉
If Midnight Train: New Moon teaches us anything, it's that you should never trust a train that disappears into nothingness. Luna, the protagonist, learns this the hard way: getting off at a stop that doesn't exist and having to team up with a detective who probably also failed his entrance exam. Amidst puzzles and eerie hallways, the moral is clear: better bring a snack for the trip and don't get off until the final destination.
