 Hello, people of the internet. My name is Johnny and welcome to Choo Choo Charles, a brand new horror game that just came out today and one that I've been looking forward to for a very, very long time. As someone who growing up was an avid fan of trains, this struck a chord with me. It's a horror game where you're being chased by a train, but it's also a mutant spider train. I'm honestly super, super excited to finally hop into this game. It looks amazing. So if you're excited for Choo Choo Charles, make sure you hit the like button. And honestly, without further ado, let's hit new game and let's hop into Choo Choo Charles. Oh, here we go. I know it's been a while since we last... Eugene! But something has happened at the mines I've been supervising. No, trust me, you'll want to make time for this. Okay. You're looking for something big to keep your museum in business. Well, there's something big on that island. Real big. So many friends. And even my own son are still out there. Oh, no. If anyone can bring this thing down, it's you. It'll be the biggest attraction your city's ever seen. And you can help an old friend. Yes, meet me on the docks at sunset. There he is. Well, you're ready for a little monster hunt. There's Charles. I'm so excited. I'm super, super excited. The way they implemented Charles in this game is fantastic too. He's like always around. He's always spawned in just around your area. Hope my camera's not lagging. I have a simple error, you know? Ha ha ha. Yes, sir. Error near him. Whoa. Hello. Interact with the items. All right, I might have to move my camera. Look at this. Wait, this looks awesome. I've also turned up the volume a little bit. Hello. Okay. I don't like how he keeps laughing. Okay. Whoa, hey. Oh my God, he's running. Hey, wait up. Hey, wait up. Oh my gosh. Look at this area. Oh my God, wait, he's actually running. Wait up, dude. Oh my God. All right, you can see our health at the bottom. Looks like our personal health and also our train's health, which is what we're going up to find right about now. Did this hit then? Ooh, oh, look at the moon. Wait, that looks so cool. All right, let's get this train, man. Ah, he's inside. Okay. I just marked the location on it. See if the key is up there and I'll look around some more down here. No problem. All right, open the map. Whoa. Okay. Ooh, what does that say? Baby's first mission. Look inside the nearby shack for the key to the train station. Oh my God. Look at how massive this map is. Holy crap. It's like GTA. All right, well, the shack's only right up here, so let's quickly make our way over. Baby's first mission, huh? Am I going to see any problems going in this shed? Sure, hope not. Hello. Okay. Press I for the inventory. Inventory, the train station key, a small gold key that can be used to open the abandoned train station. Awesome. Can I take this lantern? I feel like that'd be useful. This environment is so cool. I love the ambiance. I love the feel of it. Yes, or I did. Gotcha. Ooh. Ooh. Achievement unlocked. Baby's first mission. Is this her then? Hey, that's what I'm talking about. She's an oldie, but a goodie. I'm going to inspect the train's exterior. Why don't I take a peek inside? See what we got to work with. No problem. I will say the game's a little quiet. I feel like there might be, would benefit with some ambiance. Ooh, my epic train. Use it to quickly navigate the island, a weapon and shield against your foes, my respawn point if things go wrong. Interact with items around the cab and learn about using them. All right, cool. Here's our blueprint. This is how we upgrade upgrades. Upgrade and repair your train using scraps. Find scraps by looting or completing missions. Click upgrade to purchase them. All right, I have zero scraps, so I can't do any of that. I think this is where we usually like hang up our weapons. Here's our gun. Can I use it? Ooh, here we go. Gunning platform, look to aim, use your action input to fire. Here. Can I try these targets? Oh, can I have a reticle? Guns will get briefly jammed from overuse. All guns have infinite ammo. New guns can be earned in the missions. Okay, sweet. What's this? Go? I can't go just yet. Hi, Jesus Christ. Well, the exterior is a little rough, but everything looks to me intact. You scared me. What are you looking at? Wasn't on here when I was evacuated from the island. Oh. But it sure looks fun to use. Again, please stop laughing. I like that idea. You bitch, Eugene. Operating the train. Center lever moves the train forward. Left lever moves the train backwards, disabled during tutorial. Right lever stops the train, leaving the train while it's moving automatically stops it. All right, cool. Wait, maybe we should have opened the... All right, I guess we don't need the door. Oh, shoot. Oh, shoot. I got him, I got him. Move, dumb dumb. Take this, you sack of train. My God. It overloaded. My God, what happened? Did I lose Eugene? Eugene. Oh my God, wait. Eugene. Eugene. Where are you? Bro, what even happened? Find the what? Oh my God. Yo, dude, I'm sorry. I don't know if I did that. Or if you were struck by Charles. But, yeah, no, I'll find your son. I'll find those eggs pressing on, I guess. Damn, dude, that really sucks. Whoa, this is pretty fast. We're going pretty fast here. Okay, so I'm assuming this is like a paint bucket I can use to paint my train. I like that. Full steam ahead. Hopefully that doesn't like alert Charles. This is so cool. Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. What is that? What is that? Hey, wait, no, you stop, you stop. What is this? I keep pressing E to interact, but I think it's lean. Doesn't look like, ooh. What was that? What was that? Some scrap, okay. Nice, we got one scrap. Let's go see if we can upgrade. Ooh, we got two scraps. All right, train health, speed, damage, and armor. I guess we can upgrade our health. Why not? 90%, there we go. Press forward, we're gonna name you. We'll name you, if the killer train is Charles, the good train can be, what is going on up here? Rail switching, okay, stop, let's read this. Signs indicate upcoming track splits. The light at the split indicates the direction of the trains. Stop your train and interact with the lever on the ground to change the direction. Okay, so I'm assuming I'm supposed to change it if it gave me this tutorial, this lever? All right, we're heading out to the right now. Hopefully that's the way it wants me to go. Oh, this rain is so cool. I can already tell, I'm gonna love this game. To the right. Charlie. Yeah, our train's name is Charlie. I really hope I don't need to add like coal or any sort of fuel to my train. What's going on up here? Why is there a light? Okay, let's stop. What is that? That's a house. All right, let's go investigate. Oh, there's a person. Hello, are you the son? Hold on, do you have any loot around here? Nope, just some boxes. You are definitely not the son. Hello, ma'am. Candice, of course, your name's Candice. Yes. There's some scrap metal in the balcony of my house that you could use to repair and upgrade your train. I'd like that. And although the balcony is right behind me, I'll just mark it on your map anyway. Appreciate it. Oh yeah, brother who needs the vaccine. No COVID on this island. Thank you. Appreciate you letting me explore and loot and raid your house. Can I take any of these parts and upgrade my train? No, I think I just need the scrap. Here we go. Oh my God, you have so much scrap. Oh my God, thank you so much. This is amazing. We've been waiting as patiently as we can, but the past few days have been chaotic to say the least. Charles has been more aggressive lately to the point where I'm starting to fear how many of us will be left by the time help arrives. Godspeed, Eugene, we're counting on you. Awkward, is that Mexico? What are we escaping to, Mexico? Mission complete. Now that you have some resources, you can go back to your train and make some upgrades. Interact with the blueprints on the cap to upgrade the menu. Yes, I've already figured that out. I've got more health on me now. How much scrap do I have? Nine whole scraps? Oh boy, oh boy. That's an upgrade for each category, I think. Speed, armor, and the other one. All right, I guess I can't go in the front door. Do you need anything else or can I just take all this? All right, I can just take all this, I guess. Speed, damage, and armor. There we go. Whole bunch of upgrades. Damn it, okay, that doesn't do anything. Full speed ahead, but what is this? A giant crate? Ooh, it's got more scrap. Nice, I guess I'll be on the lookout for these things then. That did give me three, so let's upgrade. I like speed, I like, oh, I need five each now. Damn it, okay. Well, I just got a bit of health back, so now we have two left over. What's this? A light. There's a pathway, too. Oh wait, there's a whole bunch of stuff. Another piece of scrap. I'm guessing there's gonna be quite a few scraps around here. Looks like a train graveyard. A scrap yard, a junk yard. That's what it's called. A crate? I can't open this though. They're probably inside this house, yes. Hello, sir? Don't mind me, I'm just stealing all your loot. Though I guess they are scraps, so I don't know how much I really need them. Anything over here near the campsite? Yes. Hello? Don't mind me, I'm just gonna walk right in. Don't mind me, I'm just gonna take all your loot. Hello? Daryl. Okay. I saw that. You don't know how to use a lockpick. Ooh. I'd appreciate it. I did already steal 10 from you and I got some lockpicks. All right, let's go open that chest. And I think I've seen this in the trailer so I'm pretty sure I know how to open it. I think it's just like a short little minigame, like a quick time event. Here we go. Boom. Ooh. Okay. It's like pop the lock. Let's go. Ooh. Oh, hello. Oh, we're doing Slenderman up in this house. Return to Daryl, complete the mission. All right, here we go. Whoa, hello. Whoa. Let's go. Lockpick a clock. Looks like a drawing. You ever played Slenderman? Appreciate that. How much do I have now? 35? Oh my God, you're a legend. Holy crap, I can upgrade my train so much now. At least level two. On one short. Unfortunate. All right. Almost level four on everything though. So we're doing pretty good. Let's see, there's another person up here. So let's not go too, too far. Let's hit the brakes. Hello. Don't mind me. Just another piece of scrap I'm gonna steal. How can I help? The monster Hunter has arrived, I see. Yes. This is no ordinary hunt, mind you. We've already tried fighting Charles, but he retreats into the wilderness if he is sufficiently harmed. We believe there may be a way to get Charles to commit to a mortal battle, however. Oh. Dispersed around the island are three eggs. The eggs? Locked in the island's three primary mines. Our theory is that political- Your game theory. ...at the center of the island will provoke Charles into a fight to the death. And you guys haven't tried this at all? It's just like an urban legend, you tell yourself. Unfortunately, the mining company owner warned Charles the third. Ooh. ...has placed armed guards inside each mine to protect the eggs. There's an egg in the mine just down the rail. Here's the key to the mine. You just have the key? ...or the entrance on your map. Thank you, but like... Okay, so that's locked. So you just have the random key, aren't you? And this Charles guy who's not the train, but coincidentally has the same name as the train, is the owner of the mines. Seems a little suspicious. Anyways, we do have enough scrap to upgrade this, and now we're level four on everything. Okay, so the entrance to the mine is right here. On our way, we are gonna pass an unmet NPC with a weapon mission. This doesn't look friendly. I will say. And I guess we're going in. Another piece of scrap. What's this? Uh, I didn't mean to do that, but I guess I did something. Hello, sir? I put out the flames. Using the water tank to put out the fire. Pure genius. Here, take old bug spray. Cause of this chaos. I don't wanna see it anywhere near here again. Shoot that. Sure. I definitely did that out of order. I didn't know that was... Ooh, and I got a new piece of paint. Orange, how wonderful. Yeah, I definitely was supposed to talk to him first. I didn't realize that. I, I, sorry. So we got a few upgrades. Where's my train? Oh God. There it is. A bug spray. Oh, hello. Damage range. Ooh. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. That's a bit more than bug spray, I'd say. All right then. Yeah, we'll use that next time we see Charles. And let's, let's do orange. How does that look? Ooh. I like that. Very nice, Charlie. The mob is hiding an important egg in the southern mine. There's also, oh look at that. There's also a building right here, or a few buildings. All right, we're coming up on them. A few damaged cars, I see. And a few buildings to explore. And by explore, I mean, oh, here we go. I couldn't find an entrance. Just some beds. And one piece of scrap. Ooh, and a note. Southern mine, summary document, week one. Mining has been proceeding smoothly and we're seeing signs of a solid vein already. The tools are still holding up well and we finished construction on our shelter. We haven't spent long here, but we'll get unsettled in and adopting a good rhythm and schedule to our work. All right then, other piece of scrap. How much do I have? I have eight. Ooh. And I kept the lockpicks. Interesting. All right, so the mine is just up here. I guess we can make our way down there. Ooh, okay, so it's right here. I guess I'll just go in. Whoa, hello. Hello. I'm here to steal your egg and your scrap. There's a note. Urgent letter to Mr. Warren. While mining the furthest tunnel, we broke through a wall into a large cavern. There's something strange here and we don't know what it is. We're requesting that Mr. Warren visit the southern mine site at his earliest convenience to give us further instruction. Eugene, the team supervisor. So Eugene was actually a miner. Ooh, stealth. Lean to spine enemies and avoid being spotted. Gotcha. I can't really crouch though. So how much stealthing can I really do, you know? There's a chest up here. Yee-haw dog. Ooh, some green paint. Let's go, I love green paint. Ooh, ooh, ooh, hello, hello, hello, hello. I don't want to jump down there. What the heck? What the heck? Hello? Ooh, I hear someone. Oh, I wasn't here, I'm not here. God, oh my God, he shot me. Do you chase me? Yeah, you definitely chase me. Oh my God. How am I supposed to escape? Oh my God. Does he ever stop? Can I shoot him? I killed him! Oh, and it's at the grass on fire. Shoot. Anyways, green paint. Whoa, green, so cool. Sorry. Can I steal your gun? I feel like that'd be useful. There gonna be more of them. Ooh. Boop. I can't tell. I sure do hope not. Another piece of scrap. And a mysterious green egg. I guess I'll be taking that egg and Thor's hammer. Hello. Let me explore a little bit because I feel like that'll summon something to happen. Either a giant mob of cult members or Charles himself. But I think that's just about everything. Oh, nothing happened. Well, all right then, out of this creepy mine I go. Safe and sound. Oh yay, I suppose yay. There's a few other people I can talk to. Oh my God, there's actually so much to this game. We might be here for a little bit. You know, if I camouflage my train to green, maybe Charles won't see me as I drive past. I have 19 scrap. That's enough for only one upgrade. I like speed, I like going quick. I guess I'll heal as well. Full steam ahead. Where to next? I guess not for a little bit. I'll probably head down here. Unmet NPC, optional mission. I do wanna do all the missions. Look at that coastline. Beautiful, I tell you, beautiful. Oh shoot. Is that Charles? That's Charles! Okay, okay, here we go, here we go. Get him, get him, oh my God, he's right here. He's right here. All right, that overloaded. Let's switch, let's switch it out. Ah, you spider bitch. Oh, that overloaded. All right, switch out, switch out. Get him, get him. I missed my turn. Damn it. I, oh my God, he don't quit. Burn! Oh, is my train dying? Where'd he go? Oh, oh, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I'm at zero health. Oh, I guess I'm going to speak to this dude instead. Oh, damn it. What does my, what does no health mean? Is that bad, is that bad? Does that mean I can't move? No. I'm gonna heal up anyways. All right, slow down, slow down. Coming up to a new area. Ooh, a big area too, look at this. What's in this tiny shed? Just a bunch of scrap. An unlocked door. I wonder at some point, can I open these doors? It feels like I, I'm gonna be able to at some point if they're giving me the option to even interact with it. Oh, hello. Let's go up here. Ooh, that opened. Hello, good sir. Don't mind me just barging in. Before the cave in, I pushed a spare rail car into the canyon using my beautiful old mining train. I figured a rail car would be a fine place to hide my more important belongings, especially on a rural. An unfinished track. I went to get something out of my rail car in the canyon about a week ago, but some of Warren's men have built a campsite or base of some sort there. I don't know how to get my box safely, and I don't know how long I'll last without it. All righty then. Is that you writing this letter, sir? Welcome to Mirum, archivist museum person. No problem. My apologies, I'm not the best with introductions, but I don't believe either of us are here for socializing. True. I just so happen to have a little business opportunity if you're interested. Okay. A very special little box. It was you. A rail car in the nearby canyon, but the goons have set up a camp to protect that area. So be careful. Find the blue box and bring it back to me. I'll give you some scraps as payment. This is why I like doing the side missions, because they give me scraps. Okay, that's pretty close by. Though unfortunately, it's not really close to any train tracks. So I'm gonna have to walk there on foot. Hopefully in that case, I don't run into any mischievous spider trains. Ooh. Ooh. Oh, I didn't even see what color that was, but yay, new color. So random shit out this way. Just more scraps. You betcha. We are collecting a lot though. So hopefully by the time we get to like the big end game or I guess just see Charles again, we should be pretty powerful. But then again, we just encountered him and I lost all my health. So I don't know how confident I should be. How much do we have? 22. And also this egg. Let's upgrade this and this. So everything's level five. Ooh, what is this? Ooh, white. Hold on, let me get a look. All right, so then. I like it. Where is this place? It's actually very close by, so I shouldn't go far. If I follow this path, I should get there. And I saw some scrap. Oh, I don't like the look of this, I will say. Hello? What's this? I feel like I remember seeing this in the trailer and the developer saying this was a very, very hard area to program with the AI. Where'd he go? I don't know. Ooh, right frickin' there. That's where he went. Oh shoot. Okay, that's unfortunate. Dodge and weave, dodge and weave, just get to the train and I can shoot him. Wow, that is unfortunate. Are you close? No, you're just shooting far away. I love just shooting them. Which sounds bad, but honestly, he was shooting me first. And I think he was the only dude there. So hopefully now that he's gone, I can just loot and find that box? Yes. Critical item acquired, or acquired. Return to Theodore and complete your mission. Gotcha. But what else, what other goodies do they have out here, huh? Doesn't look like a whole lot, if anything. Hey yo, I got your box. That's the exact box I needed. Yay. The hell you hiding in that box? A 40 scrap dude, Theodore, you're a lifesaver. Thank you so much, bro. Dude. That's such a cool shot, especially with the train and the moon. That was sick. All right, which can we upgrade? Speed and armor and damage, sweet. We got one extra. And what did I just do? What do I have to do again? Just explore. Okay, let's do one more mission. Let's go backwards actually, why not? We've not done that yet. Okay, I've turned that and now let's just head out this way. I love just getting out of the train and interacting with the environment. Ooh, what's this? A new building to explore with goodies and scraps for the taking and a note. Whoa, hello. Unloading all the supplies has been an incredibly eye-opening experience. Here at the port, we've been walking all day, every day. We are tasked with unloading the boat and running supplies up the hill to the tracks where Theodore and Eddie deliver them to the different sites we'll be mining. The sheer cost of all this infrastructure is mind-blowing. With all the success Warren's family has had in this business, I'm surprised he's choosing to take such a risk. Interesting, interesting. Okay, I think that's everything here. And now let's head on down. Open sesame, hello. Ooh, Mexico again. I've been praying someone from the first evacuation group would just send back another boat. But I guess they all think that Georgia's supply boat is still evacuating people. They're all safe and cozy on the mainland but feel no obligation to make sure everyone else escapes. I know that Charles, sinking the boat isn't something anyone would expect but still, to think I would have left this place by now, it makes me sick. Oh boy. So people didn't come back to get these guys? That kind of sucks. Hello sir. Santiago. Makes sense. All my belongings here so I can leave immediately when a boat arrives. Although now that I think about it, I did forget my journal at home. Could you bring it to me? It's a dangerous journey for sure. But you might manage with that train of yours. You tell me you were like, damn, I gotta get the hell off this island. But damn my diary. I'll give you all the scrap metal I have. All of it? Please, bring the journal next time you're here. All right, bro, how much scrap you got? That's really far away. Can I take more than one mission at once? Cause that's like right near this person. So I guess we do have a bit more of this video to go. Which honestly, I don't mind. I've been really enjoying this. It's fun to just go around and do little side missions. Which I know for some people that might be boring because, well, I wanna go fight Charles. But honestly, you know, I just like driving the train which may sound dumb, but I love trains. Oh, great. Hey, oh, Charlie, stop. Stop, bro. Oh, he's going. A bunch of scrap. Oh my God, a bunch of scrap. In fact, enough scrap to upgrade my speed. Pog. Nice little house you got here. Anything in your shed that I can steal? Oh, you betcha. I'll be taking all your scrap. Hello. Say, you're that monster, honey. Sasha, yes. I must know. Do you have any experience with ghosts? Sure. Someone or something has been putting exactly 16 drawings to lamppost in the boulder field every night. 16? Don't make me collect 16. I always collect and burn them, but as I was looking for them last night, I began hearing strange noises and seeing strange things. I only found half of them today because of the commotion. Oh, that's still eight. Do you remember how they didn't bring them to me? Please mark them all very specifically on my map. Not quite. I'll find your pages in a bit. I got another mission to do first, which is coming up right about now. Let me stop this train. Ooh, is that it? That's probably it. That looks creepy. I don't like the look of that. Uh, what about this fine cottage? It's nice. Aha. Found his journal. Return to Santiago. No problemo. Santiago, I'm coming. But first, what the hell is this? Is this where I summon Charles? That's some noise. I'm going back to my train. I'm going back to my train. Backing up. Backing up. Backing up. Backing up. And I guess I'll find the pages while I'm here. Collect eight pages from the boulder field. I wish it told me specifically where they were because I don't know how confident I feel just aimlessly wandering around. Because I mean, if Charles shows up, I got no defenses. Oh, wow, that's really far away. Oh, I guess it was closer than I expected. Ooh, I see one. Hello. Oh, God. Oh, this is going to summon him. What the hell? What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Stop. What the hell? What was that? I didn't want that. No, thank you. Why am I over here? Ow. Oh my God. I don't like this. I don't like this. I don't like this. I don't like this. Oh my God, I see him. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop. Go away. No, thank you. It's Christ. Just let me find the pages and I'll leave. This is a dead end. Come on, I see one. He went away. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. I see one. No, no, no, no, no, give it, give it, give it. I just need one more. Ooh, I see it. I see it, I see it, I see it. Got it. Return to Sasha. Final page, Charles. I lost three scrap. Charles, Charles. First I thought it was just a ghost and I was like, all right, yeah, no, I mean, I've dealt with him before, but it was fricking Charles. I'm guessing he just spawns if you get the eighth page, which makes sense, but, you know, come on, I was there. It does say the game auto saves, but I don't know how frequently it does. I guess I got them all. Going back to Sasha. And also the dude at the dock. Why hello there, Sasha. No problem. Thank you. Better be at least three because I lost some doing that, 49. Dude, and I'm about to get a butt ton more from the dude at the dock. All right, a bunch of upgrades. Everything's level eight now. And I guess that's it. Anyways, hello, sir. I forget your name, Santiago. For my own good. Perhaps I promised. Santiago, what are you writing in there? You dirty dog. 53, okay. That's enough for two upgrades, 20 each. And I guess this, cause I missed this. 59, dude, I'm one short. Damn it. Is there a scrap around here somewhere? Whatever, I'm sure we'll find it soon, but that's actually what I'm gonna leave this episode of Choo Choo Charles. I fricking love this game. This is such an enjoyable game. I'll probably hop right into recording episode two after I finish this one. I'm having a blast. I cannot, cannot wait to hop back into it. And I hope you guys are enjoying the start of the brand new series. I don't know how long it's gonna be. I'm guessing probably at least three episodes, just based on all of the people we need to talk to down here, and also up this way. So yeah, there's quite a bit of content in this game, even though it doesn't look like it'll be too, too long, but I'm really looking forward to it. And I cannot wait. So thank you so much for watching this first episode of Choo Choo Charles. And I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.
