The gargantuan dieselpunk train, the IRON SANCTUARY, is mankind’s last hope after the calamity of 1920. Your mission and penitence is to manage and direct it through the remains of civilization after the Great War.
Choose which city you will rescue next and the route you will take. Use the information given the by higher command, as well as tools and your own wit. Measure distances, use the compass to circle areas, place markers and even utilize occult paraphernalia.
Within the city, raise the giant drill miners and release the cart ways that fuel the IRON SANCTUARY. The fuel should last your journey.
Demolished terrain, hellish fields, inhumane temperatures and various obstacles may be encountered on the route, causing problems on board. Secure the pressure valves, replace the broken pipe parts, ensure every mechanism is up to speed. Resume travel.
Rescue as many people as you can from the calamity. Choose your route wisely, as both distance and breakdown can result in stalling, and each day increases the death count.
After you made sure that the route is set, the tank refueled and the safety measures checked, enter the control pit and IGNITE THE ENGINE.
Safe travels, conductor - - God. Humanity. Salvation!
