Dreadline Express is more Myst than Balatro, but this horror Metroidvania deckbuilder is just as creative

Dreadline Express is a creative psychological horror Metroidvania deckbuilder where collected cards shape the narrative choices and progression. Developed by solo Czech dev Dave Konecny, the game features a unique deckbuilding system for narrative progression rather than combat, set on a mysterious, claustrophobic train. It is scheduled for release in October 2026 on PC.
