“Last Train Home is a story of a desperate journey where soldiers stranded in an enemy country during a civil war simply want to return home. It’s more than just an RTS, as it contains a persistent layer that adds consequences to your decisions. Last Train Home is inspired by real historical events after the Great War, challenging times when Czechoslovak soldiers had to travel over the Trans-Siberian railway to return to their newborn country. It lets you catch a thing or two about forgotten parts of history while enjoying a challenging journey through harsh Siberia.” – Petr Kolář, Studio Manager.
