Unrailed!

In Unrailed!, up to four players cooperate to create a railroad to keep a train from derailing en route to its destination. The game has five game modes: endless, versus, fast, sandbox, and time, which offer different objectives and challenges for players. Both local and online multiplayer is supported.

To lay down rails for the train, the players must extract resources from the environment. Wood and iron are obtained by chopping down trees and from blocks of stone. The game incorporates roguelike elements with procedurally generated terrain, resource management, and limited saves. Other obstacles include wildlife like cows and llamas that block the train's path, and non-player characters which are able to remove parts of the track from the main path.

Unrailed! was originally developed for a student project during the Game Programming Lab 2018 at ETH Zurich. At the end of the semester, the prototype received positive feedback from the jury and players at the final presentation. The project was selected to join the SwissGames delegation at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne.

Indoor Astronaut received support from the Ludicious Business Accelerator as well as Pro Helvetia. Pro Helvetia played a crucial role by allowing the development team to go to the Game Connection 2018 in Paris, where they met their future publisher, Daedalic Entertainment, who financed the rest of the development of Unrailed!, and took care of its promotion and distribution.

Unrailed! received "generally favorable" reviews from critics for the Windows version of the game, while the Switch version received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received strong approval, being recommended by 61% of critics.
