For Immediate Release


Dallas, TX — October 2, 2025 — Publisher Crytivo is excited to announce Steel Artery: Train City Builder, a unique city-building simulator developed by independent solo developer SoulAge23.

Transform a legendary train into a living city, filled with thousands of unique citizens across multiple races. Oversee their growth, maintain order through economy and logistics, and lead your steampunk Empire toward prosperity as you explore uncharted territories.

ABOUT THE GAME


What is Steel Artery Train City Builder ?

Once a symbol of the Empire’s technological dominance, the legendary Steelpolis has been revived in desperate times. As its newly appointed mayor, you must turn this colossal train into a living city, ensuring prosperity for your citizens while keeping the Empire alive.

Unlike traditional city builders, Steel Artery doesn’t give you direct control over citizens. Instead, they act on their own economy-driven needs—choosing jobs, resting, spending money, forming families, and shaping their own stories. You provide the opportunities—they create the world.

🚂 “Steel Artery is about building not just a train, but a living society on rails. Citizens act on their own interests, creating emergent stories and challenges that no script could replicate.” — Denis, creator of Steel Artery

KEY FEATURES

Expand a train-city wagon by wagon with unique tetris-like construction.


Hundreds of autonomous citizens live their own lives, choosing how to work, rest, and survive.


Humans, orcs, elves, and others bring unique needs and values, leading to cooperation, conflict, or even extremes.


Economy and logistics drive survival as every building uses or produces resources within limited space.


Explore new lands to gather resources and unlock expansion.


Detailed pixel art brings a vibrant steampunk world to life.


Replay every run differently, from a compact express to a massive titan with thousands aboard.
