Hey there!

If you enjoyed A Good Snowman is Hard to Build, then you might also enjoy what we've been working on lately here at Draknek & Friends.

Announcing: Spooky Express!

Plan the train route for the world’s spookiest theme park!
All the passengers are all just dying to ride the Spooky Express.

Pick up the creepy cryptids and drop them at their destinations around the park. But be careful! Don’t let them scare or bite the human passengers. Stay on track of the situation or you’ll have a grave problem.

Spooky Express is great follow-up to our other award-winning thinky puzzle game, Cosmic Express and will feature over 100 unique levels with countless monsters, maps and mechanics.

If that sounds like something you might be interested in, please give us a wishlist on Steam, or share the trailer below.

Featuring the monster from A Monster's Expedition and A Good Snowman is Hard to Build in a new sci-fi setting, The Electrifying Incident will have you explore a mysterious facility and manipulate the many electrical hazards and locked doors to find a way deeper, towards the source of the problem.
