You can create your own worlds in Islands & Trains at your own pace. The tracks can be as elaborate as you like. You can create calm railways through pretty villages or a rollercoaster ride through dangerous heights. Perhaps, someone could replicate the crazy scene from The Polar Express in Islands & Trains! There will be over 400 different tiles to help you create your own vistas like a grassy terrain or a fancy cafe terrace, according to the developers.

Akos and Fabi’s Indie Project
Islands & Trains launches alongside Rokaplay’s Cozy & Family Friends Festival on Steam, which will return this year for the third time.
The developers Akos and Fabi come from Hungary and Germany. The two friends decided to create their first game in 2021. Akos is a software engineer and Fabi has been a kindergarten teacher for 15 years. Fabi has been dreaming of opening their own kindergarten one day. Their passion for digital choo-choos has inspired the creation of Islands & Trains, which releases later this month. They are inspired by games like Islanders,Dorfromantik, andTownscaper.
Future Friends Games will be publishing Islands & Trains. They have previously helped release Freeride, Gourdlets, and Europa (which received a Very Positive score on Steam).
