About Trains VR
Hop on the Puzzle Train with us!
For thousands of years people have dreamed about traveling.
As a species we have achieved a lot - millions of railroad kilometers, endless highways and the fact that at any given moment there are half a million people flying around in the sky. We are even on the verge of space-tourism. However, the most important journey is still beyond our reach... Or is it?
These are two amazing achievements but we need to evolve further.
In 2018, The House of Fables has combined virtual reality with a childhood dream. We created a video game which offers you the chance to relive those innocent memories.
Virtual Reality gives us more than we realize. Time-travel isn’t a physical reality (as far as we know), but a ride down the memory line is.
We developed Trains VR as a bridge between the present and the past.
A childhood dream combined with the newest technology.
Hop on the locomotive and travel back to your past!
Don’t try to time-travel to your past. Bring it back with Trains VR!
Trains VR is a puzzle game that gives you the ultimate opportunity to find the best-fitting solution to railroad problems and relive your childhood:
Build, Ride, Fail, Repeat and solve puzzles!!

- The Ancient Greeks built the first railroads around the year 600 BCE.
- In 1895 the Lumiere Brothers were the first to capture a train on a moving picture.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Can only move physically in the real world to move in-game. Requires a large open space to play. This makes the game unplayable for me. Please add movement in the game. The movement options that are there aren't very responsive. E.g. Moving the table up or down has a 1-2 second delay after pulling the trigger.1 found this helpful
Love this feeling that actually you can move around the table (or rotate the table to be more precise). Just imagine that you have this game with AR support and you can adjust your table in living room to a railroad heaven.1 found this helpful
not bad for the sale price
good game
I have mixed feelings about this game. Although I liked this simple puzzle game at first, I became aware of the less optimised controls (I used a Steam VR index). There were no real good explanation on how to rotate the table (Had to figure it out myself). Ofcourse if you are playing in a bigger surrounding, you could walk around. But for those who are in a small surrounding, a small explanation on how the basic movements are, isn't asked too much. But still, there is no point in walking around as it doesn't offer you any "more" insight on how to fix the puzzle. For some reason, my controllers didn't feel optimised, i had to click multiple times on the building spot, and on moments when I wanted to build a track, it destroyed it instead. All the controls are easy to understand, the controllers however managed to change all my instructions. So not sure if it's the game or the controllers that weren't in "sync". The game itself is presenting simple train puzzles, which are quite fun at start, and more challenging later. Graphics aren't that bad, and the little animations on the animals are quite entertaining. Soundtrack is quite lacking. For a game like this, a more and longer so…
As others have said, the game is promising but fails to deliver in several areas. It severely needs a UX pass and fails to properly utilize VR in the way you interact with the world. It's a fairly basic puzzle game that has been done better in other games such as Trainyard on iOS. If the developer redoes the interactions ingame I could see this being a neat game, but right now it's just not really there.
