The Count of Monster Disco

Bought this game on the recommendation, nay the insistence, of a friend who has become a huge Train Simulator enthusiast. It was half-off during the Halloween sale, and even at full-price it is much less than the original game. It is a great introduction to the unique gameplay. As my friend said, explaining the gameplay makes it sound boring, so suffice to say, it is a fairly relaxed experience, with the simple controls, simple objectives, and observation of the camera angles and maps. It is not exactly easy, with different resources to manage, but it is a slow paced game that gives you time to ponder the nature of transportation by rails.

The Count of Monster Disco, developed by Skyhook Games and Dovetail Games and published by Dovetail Games - Trains, is an unconventional entry in the train simulation space that trades strict realism for a playful, Halloween-themed narrative. Instead of focusing purely on technical accuracy and operational depth, the experience leans into a whimsical premise, turning the act of driving a train into a story-driven journey through a fictional world filled with monsters, quirky characters, and seasonal charm. Set in the imaginative region of Trainsylvania, the game casts players as Frankie, a loyal locomotive operator working under the eccentric Count of Monster Disco. The central objective revolves around preparing for a grand Halloween celebration, with tasks that include transporting decorations, delivering guests, and ensuring the Count’s elaborate party plans come together smoothly. This narrative framing adds a sense of purpose that goes beyond the usual “move cargo from point A to point B” structure typical of train simulators. Even though the story itself remains simple, its tone—often delivered with a lighthearted, almost storybook-like quality—helps maintain a consistent se…

Also recommended as a tutorial to learn the basics of train simulators, such as shunting freight cars, transporting passengers, and operating steam locomotives.
