About Dreadway
Dreadway is a co-op survival horror game set in a post-nuclear world where players join a group of survivors aboard a train scavenging for resources to keep it running. Developed by ZweiBier Indie, it launched on PC in 2026. The game blends tense exploration with resource management, as teams must balance collecting scrap, repairing the train, and fending off hostile factions. Its focus on teamwork and survival under pressure makes it a standout pick for fans of collaborative horror.
Gameplay
Dreadway’s gameplay revolves around split-second decisions and shared responsibilities. Players take turns scavenging nearby towns for materials, which are used to upgrade the train’s defenses and systems. Resource scarcity forces tough choices, prioritize fuel for the engine or tools for combat? The train itself is a character, with its own health and mechanics to maintain. Combat is frantic and rarely fair, requiring players to coordinate attacks or retreats. Multiplayer sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour, with each run feeling distinct based on random encounters and loot.
What Players Think
Dreadway holds an 88% rating on Steam, with 78% of players completing the core campaign. Average playtime is 14.2 hours, though 32% of players log over 20. Community moods lean tense (65%) and focused (45%), with 12% calling it “stressful but satisfying.” Reviews highlight its “gritty, no-nonsense co-op” and “brutal resource scarcity.” The game has 35 achievements, with 68% of players hitting 100% completion. Steam users note a $29.99 price tag as fair for the replay value.
PlayPile's Take
Dreadway is a solid pick for groups that thrive on tension and coordination. Its $29.99 price and 35-achievement lineup add replay incentive, though solo play isn’t an option. The game’s difficulty curve may frustrate casual players, but its relentless focus on teamwork and survival makes it rewarding for co-op enthusiasts. If you’ve enjoyed titles like Rust or Don’t Starve Together, Dreadway’s blend of resource scarcity and high-stakes survival will likely hit right.
