Toy Trains wants to recreate your childhood with VR model trains, arriving on Quest and Steam next month.
Created by Something Random, a team composed of former Superhot developers, Toy Trains aims to invoke childhood nostalgia in a similar approach to Crumbling, only with track-building instead of action figures. Placing your board on a lounge table, Toy Trains takes us to "a world where vintage toys and forgotten treasures spring to life."
Something Random describes Toy Trains as a relaxed experience. The trailer shows you picking up pieces from a book to place on the table, including wagons, locomotives and different rails. The team also promises a "nostalgic storyline" with open-ended challenges, and the trailer shows a forest fire that needs putting out. You can also decorate the land by placing water, trees and more around the tracks.
Toy Trains arrives on January 16 on Steam, PSVR 2 and the Meta Quest platform, with a free PC VR demo launching on December 4 for Steam VR Fest. As for the Pico version, Something Random informed UploadVR that's still in development but a release date remains unconfirmed.
