The train in Hangillion

What it is

He is tied across a railway line and there is a tiny light at the end of it. With every wrong letter the light is bigger, until two headlights and a horn fill the screen.

Everything is drawn in pixels, in black, gray, white and two reds, and it is a cartoon: no real people, no real places. It runs in your browser, with no download.

How it plays out, one wrong letter at a time

1. 1. A point of light at the horizon.
2. 2. It grows.
3. 3. You can see it is a train.
4. 4. Two headlights.
5. 5. The track shakes.
6. 6 (the last life). The horn, and then the train.

Guess the word before the last step and he lives. The scene eases back and he smiles.

What you hear

A horn, a rumble that gets louder, a scream and a heavy slam. The sounds are made in your browser, so there is nothing to load, and you can switch them off with the sound button.

Setting: A railway line running into the distance under the moon.

How to get it

It comes with Hangillion Max: every ending, now and later, and unlimited words. You can watch it loop in the “Ways to die” gallery on the Hangillion menu, whether or not you own it.
