Railbound is a charming track-bending puzzle game developed and published by the Polish indie studio Afterburn. The game first launched in September 2022 on PC platforms including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. It later expanded to consoles through a partnership with 7Levels, arriving on Nintendo Switch in December 2022 and on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in May 2023.
In Railbound, players guide a pair of dogs travelling by train through a stylized comic-book world by placing, removing, and rerouting track segments on an isometric grid. Each level challenges players to connect numbered carriages to a locomotive without collisions, using mechanics like tunnels, barriers, and switches. The game offers over 150 core puzzles, structured into worlds that introduce new gameplay elements, along with optional bonus levels for those seeking an extra challenge.
The game’s design draws inspiration from minimalist and thoughtful puzzle experiences such as Mini Metro and Cosmic Express, reflecting Afterburn’s pedigree from past titles like Golf Peaks and Inbento. Its visuals lean into a warm, hand-drawn style influenced by French graphic novels. The soundtrack, composed by the same team behind Golf Peaks and Inbento, features a laid-back, tranquil score that complements the cozy and relaxing tone of the gameplay.
Railbound was promoted through trailers, developer showcases, and social media campaigns highlighting its mechanics and charming aesthetics. It was widely praised by critics and players alike, with particular acclaim for its intuitive interaction design, touching illustrations, and balance of relaxing atmosphere with clever puzzle challenges. The game earned notable accolades, including the Apple Design Award for interaction and the title of Best Mobile Game at the Central & Eastern European Game Awards.
