"Voidtrain"
 
   There's a free demo of this (Early Access, inevitably) game on Steam, so I tried it out. It's Raft, but in a weird sort of... Victorian... railroad... dimension. You have a train (well, you start out with just a handcar) that progresses through a strange, uh... void (hence the title) that is mysteriously full of breathable air and equipped with railroad tracks. There are what appear to be fragments of exploded buildings floating around, and you gather up various materials as your train trundles past and... make things with them, like usual. (Eventually things start trying to eat the train. Like I said, it's Raft.)

It's pretty fun for what it is.* I like the aesthetic and what little of the train-modding system is in the demo seems like something I could get pretty far down into if I had the full game. It's 30 bucks, I might pick it up sometime if I'm ever not totally busted-ass broke again. :/

   For a bit of a dive into the game, see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN39y5i_H0FmuVLSeCv6yUpBd4n2NdZZr

Should give an idea of if it's worth getting, at least. Beyond the demo, that is.
