Hellow Travelers!
After about a year and a half, Railroads & Catacombs is finally leaving Early Access. I want to give you a summary of all the content added to the game so far:
Complete story of the journey to the Labyrinth, told in 10 chapters.
The ancient city of Caldigar — legend has it that it lies at the heart of the Labyrinth. Explore this brand-new area and lose yourself in its eerie streets and shadowy alleys.
The final piece of the journey’s story—the one that gives meaning to it all. A fearsome final boss with several new mechanics, the ultimate challenge in Railroads & Catacombs!
An extended War Book, letting you explore the complete story and rich lore behind the game.
60 Steam Achievements are now live! Unlock rewards by conquering challenges, defeating bosses, and exploring every corner of the game.
The Psychiatrist joins the roster of classes. In the Labyrinth your men's Sanity hangs by a thread, and the Psychiatrist has arrived to either restore it or shatter it completely. The choice is yours.
His primary ability is Self Therapy. He is the only character immune to the Sanity mechanic and will always be in a Lucid state. Therefore, he cannot be the patient of another Psychiatrist, and Madness will never develop within him.
The new carriage serves as the Psychiatrist's workspace, where they will attempt to twist the minds of your men through agonizing therapies, seeking to unleash their inner madness.
A new mechanic allows you to induce Madness in your characters, turning them into powerful but unstable units.
Mad characters have permanent 0 Sanity, increased damage, and higher loot, but they're always in Hysterical state.
This is perfect for new recruits who need a damage boost, but be careful, as Mad characters are prone to dying quickly.
3 new bosses will be unlocked once you have unlocked the first 6. These new bosses are late game content, so you will need to prepare your characters very well before facing them.
These three new bosses come with a new biome that has been designed and hand-painted in great detail to recreate the dark world of Railroads & Catacombs in the best possible way.
Small buttons have been added to the train's menu to make it easier to navigate to each car. This way, you won't have to walk the entire length of the train from one end to the other, which could be a bit annoying when you have all the cars built.
In addition, these buttons have been grouped by type to make it clear which cars improve the train, which cars improve the characters, etc.
The Scholar's special ability has been changed. It is now the only class that can have a deck with a minimum of 5 cards. Remember that in the last update, the minimum number of cards for all characters was increased.
Some of you have told me that the characters' decks didn't differentiate enough. And to some extent, that was true because their cards were random. So you could see the same cards repeated in various characters who shared the same Warpath.
What I've done is define each subclass, that is, each combination of Warpaths with a predefined and distinct deck that, on its own, offers a different way of playing from the start.
The game has 6 Warpaths, each offering a different combat style. This results in 15 different combinations, leading to 15 distinct Subclasses.
It´s a compendium with all the upgrade of the game and all the Subclasses. You can check it whenever you want to search info about all Warpaths and its mechanics.
You start with 4 Subclasses and can unlock the rest by defeating specific bosses at specific levels.
I’ve worked alone on development for 9 years to get to this point, but I couldn’t have done it without your support. And I want to say this isn’t the end — I’ll keep expanding the game with new updates and listening to the community to make Railroads & Catacombs a truly unique experience! Exciting new things are coming!

With the arrival of version 1.0, a bunch of new content is on the way!
Thanks to your support, we’ve already released three major updates as part of the roadmap, and one more is coming with the full release.
Here’s a quick recap of what’s been added so far:
Update content 1: Introduced the Maze system, added new boss fight objectives, the War Book, Train logs, and 15 new subclasses.
Update content 2: Brought in Mutated Bosses, a new biome, new enemies, and train HUD improvements.

Not to mention countless improvements, tweaks, and bug fixes along the way…
The 1.0 launch will include another major content update—I’ll be sharing more details soon.
But even after that, the journey isn’t over. I’ll be revealing the post-1.0 roadmap and continuing to refine and expand the game. There's still so much I want to bring to life!
I'm pouring everything into making version 1.0 the best it can be, and I hope you’ll enjoy what’s coming.

Hellow Travelers!
Let me give you a summary of the content:
3 new bosses will be unlocked once you have unlocked the first 6. These new bosses are late game content, so you will need to prepare your characters very well before facing them. They are the most difficult challenges yet.
These three new bosses come with a new biome that has been designed and hand-painted in great detail to recreate the dark world of Railroads & Catacombs in the best possible way.
Small buttons have been added to the train's menu to make it easier to navigate to each car. This way, you won't have to walk the entire length of the train from one end to the other, which could be a bit annoying when you have all the cars built.
In addition, these buttons have been grouped by type to make it clear which cars improve the train, which cars improve the characters, etc.
The Scholar's special ability has been changed. It is now the only class that can have a deck with a minimum of 5 cards. Remember that in the last update, the minimum number of cards for all characters was increased.
I am convinced that there will be many players who will want to choose the Scholar to become their favorite character.

Hellow Travelers!
It's been approximately a month and a half since the game was released in Early Access, and today I bring you the first major game update: Labyrinth. Let me give you a summary of the content:
I bring a piece of the Railroads & Catacombs world. After each expedition, you´ll be able to see a new anotation on this logbook. This will help you to understand the goal of your journey through this hell named The Labyrinth, and all the weird things sorround this dark place.
Some of you have told me that the characters' decks didn't differentiate enough. And to some extent, that was true because their cards were random. So you could see the same cards repeated in various characters who shared the same Warpath.
What I've done is define each subclass, that is, each combination of Warpaths with a predefined and distinct deck that, on its own, offers a different way of playing from the start.
The game has 6 Warpaths, each offering a different combat style. This results in 15 different combinations, leading to 15 distinct Subclasses.
It´s a compendium with all the upgrade of the game and all the Subclasses. You can check it whenever you want to search info about all Warpaths and its mechanics.
You start with 4 Subclasses and can unlock the rest by defeating specific bosses at specific levels.
Now, your characters have a new minimum number of cards depending of their level. A lot of players complained that a level 4 character with only 5 cards was very strong and usually broke the game, and they had right. This change makes the game harder.
The new minimum:
Level 0: 5 cards
Level 1: 6 cards
Level 2: 7 cards
Level 3: 8 cards
Level 4: 9 cards
Now, the tired mechanic only works in the train. So if your character is tired won´t do more tasks in the train but could go on expedition without any penalties. The reason behind this is simple, you'll be able to play with whichever Subclass you like.
To compensate this, the game offers rewards for play with another Subclasses.
A lot of bugs has been fixed, and some balance changes has been made. I don't want to make this any longer, I will tell you soon.
I want to release another major update with new bosses, areas, enemies and a lot of things in 2-3 months. And some regular ones in the middle! Stay tuned!

A few days ago, we launched the game in Early Access, and today I'm here to share what's coming in the next few months. The first update will be released soon!
I've been working on polishing the game and fixing some bugs. Today, I'm bringing you a minor patch that includes some changes and adjustments you've requested:
- Now you only lose a portion of resources if you fail a task on the train.
- You can now play any area with high-level characters.
- The likelihood of characters dying is now lower. Later on, I will add the option to enable or disable
permanent death in the campaign start options.
- Other minor adjustments have been added to the game.
- I will implement the ultra wide screen issue in the next days.
