Not all developers in Russia can get funding without problems; sometimes studios find themselves in a difficult situation and have to get out. The authors of Trains Electrostorm were able to return
At the end of 2022, it became known about the unsuccessful experience of receiving funding from the Internet Development Institute (IRI). It was assumed that the developers of Teslapunk Trains would be allocated 100 million rubles, but it didn’t work out – as a result, the Watt Studio team was forced to suspend development due to problems with financing.
However, the history of Watt Studio It didn't end there. Recently, the developers reappeared and presented the debut trailer for the Trains Electrostorm project:
«Embark on an amazing adventure with Anya. Use your gauss pistol and magnetic field power to knock down enemies, levitate, and solve tricky puzzles“.
Some users, after seeing the Trains Electrostorm promo, began (jokingly) to call this domestic game an “add-on for Control,” the once sensational game by Remedy Entertainment.
Trains Electrostorm (or “Trains: Through the Electric Storm”) has a page on Steam, you can add it to your wishlist at the link.
Trains Electrostorm takes place in the world mid-20th century, where history took a different path:
«In this reality, you will experience the story of Anya, a brave girl stuck in a forgotten corner of the world .
Trains in this universe no longer travel – they are chained at stations, turned into giant generators, feeding on the power of electrical storms. People have long forgotten about the original purpose of railways – that they once connected cities and hearts.
Anya reveals a secret: the freed Trains can once again run on the tracks, dispersing electrical storms, leading humanity to a bright future from the shadows of the Dark Ages. But are people ready to hear it? Do they want change, or will they prefer to remain in the familiar darkness?”. ~/p>
