Game marketing, you gotta love it. How can you make your small indie game stand out? A great game doesn't always stand on its own, so why not give it a ridiculously long name.

Fogpiercer isn't the only upcoming train combat game around, with Apocalypse Express getting a demo now too but they're both wildly different and worth trying. Apocalypse Express is just chaos and I want more.
