Do you dare to board the train?
Haunted Train is a hidden object game trilogy developed by Deep Shadows and published by Big Fish games between 2014 and 2016.
What's supposed to be the happiest day for Daniel and Olivia turns into a nightmare, when they find themselves crossing paths with a mysterious train operated by Charon. Desperate to be back together, they investigate the circumstances of other souls' misfortunes and stop the perpetrators of their schemes before everything they've known gets derailed into disaster.
