Hey, builders! While you're busy perfecting your automation skills in Automate It, we wanted to share a game from our good friend Flazm that’s been stealing our attention lately — Train Valley Origins. Imagine this: charming locomotives, intricate railway layouts, and brain-teasing challenges that keep you thinking, “Just one more round…”. The demo offers 7 levels for you to try, while the full game will take you through 100 levels, from the Wild West to Japan, and lets you unlock 24 unique trains — from classic steam engines to sleek modern designs. Plus, there will be a built-in level editor, so if you're feeling creative, you'll be able to design your own puzzles! We’ve had a blast managing switches, optimizing rail networks, and trying not to (ahem) cause too many train collisions. Check out the Train Valley Origins Demo https://store.steampowered.com/app/3522830/Train_Valley_Origins_Demo/ After you’ve played the demo, it would be amazing if you could take a moment to leave a review.
