Fear Equation - Nightmare Train Simulator

Fear Equation is a horror, strategy roguelike, where you have to drive an armored train through sentient nightmare fog to reach a suspiciously vague promise of sanctuary. And it's absolutely fantastic.

And Jon continues to deny his train obsession. We're onto you, Jon!

[@ManyATrueNerd]

+David Hyland Nothing wrong with liking trains. Trains are cool.

[@Madden2000]

Many A True Nerd I with you too

[@drizztrysylvae3045]

I like trains.

[@jacksonl.2201]

when I was 5 I was obssesd with trains and watched The Polar Express all day every day, and I still like trains

[@fortyforty-seven1061]

choo choo!

[@professordey]

The tubes are called Pnuematic Tubes/Pipes, they were vacuum sealed tubes that carried messages and packages purely through air pressure over some pretty decent distances, with London still having a few interchanges still around for historical reasons, and in less dense areas you can even find pipelines for them inside old houses. They were actually pretty effective means of transporting small goods, and some banks do actually use them still to physically transfer money between each other and the Federal Reserve/Treasury (Though not often). Think of them as the London Underground of parcel sorting. Also, is amusing to see what is basically Snow Piercer the Game XP With some Lovecraftian/Steven King horror thrown in

[@tadhgmcelligott7538]

+DuskandDey my local Tesco has an internal pneumatic pipe system(im from Ireland) I've never seen them anywhere else

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+DuskandDey Many hospitals still use pneumatic tube systems e.g. for sending samples to the lab from a patient floor.

[@Xenoun]

+DuskandDey A lot of supermarkets had them here in Australia for transporting cash bundles etc. They're all gone these days though.

[@sabrinnnaaaaaaa]

one of the banks in my town uses them for the drive thru

[@apple0pie0nation]

There's something about this game that was just unsettling. More please, this is fascinating and slightly horrifying.

[@johnmartinez7440]

I remember watching this when you first uploaded it and enjoyed it a lot, but I had a cold at the time. The memory is almost like a brilliant and weird fever dream. Got recommended a new video of yours and had a sudden urge to rewatch this series!

[@WistfulVee]

Play more of this! This is AWESOME

[@dappercthulhu4386]

+AnimefansAmvs IDK why I am so intrigued by this game.

[@GAnimeRO]

@@dappercthulhu4386 I think it's the excitement whenever you send people our for missions. Having only that small monitor to see what they're doing while giving commands makes it exciting as well as nerve wrecking.

[@jonpino]

I'm so glad I've been watching you for more than a decade. I was trying to remember what this game was and I could only remember it involved a train where you never leave the room, the supply raids that you controlled, and that it involved resource management with some sort of post apocalypse setting. Thankfully I was able to just search "Many A True Nerd train" and it came up.

[@cheeseme202]

This mildly reminds me of the movie Snowpiercer. Different reason to be on the train, but similarish ideas with survival and factions on different cars and the seperation by car.

[@MrFighterFoxx]

Pretty sure the consensus here is majorly in favor of seeing more of this, myself included! I am thoroughly enjoying all the roguelikes you're sharing with us lately, so a big thank you to you Jon!

[@jwstory400]

should've talked to Preston Garvey before playing, he couldve marked some settlements on your map

[@ba-loo-loo7676]

Oh wow XD

[@archivaltea3403]

At least it's not raining.

[@prestongarvey1681]

+The Doctor I was the one who marked the settlements on his map

[@nolongeraperson]

+Preston Garvey babe

[@tristanrast246]

+Preston Garvey Lol, I made a 4-walled pit with stairs on the outside of my settlement and shoved you in it along with all the otehr annoying settlers.

[@bddwww]

I love how one of the defence options for the carnival is "disguise" like painting the train to look like a carnaval train as if the deamon clowns will see the train and be like "no guys, back off, it's one of ours"

[@TheTheofrei]

I'd love to see more episodes of this game, the mechanics are very refreshing, I love how you need to craft a detailed plan for searches, lots of depth.

[@shayoko6]

Fantastic share! seems a bit more complicated than i personally enjoy to play myself, but its great watching you knowing what you're doing!

[@HypothermicIce]

Yeah I would 100% love to see way more of this game!

[@goldengolem4670]

I love coming back to this lil series. Its fantastic!

[@Mokgor]

Please make at least one full playthrough of this! I love these kind of games together with your commentary!

[@stevenleblanc2057]

I really enjoyed the play through of this game and would love to see a full to completion of it.

[@stevenfanatic8182]

Jon please consider making this a series I love this game

[@fallenhero99]

This. Please this.

[@scrapking3192]

This kinda reminds me of a awesome movie. Snowpiercer but instead of a new ice age it's a bio-weapon fog that makes nightmares come to life.

[@Zuelaa]

This part was very enjoyable and I would love to see you play this as a full series. It looks super interesting!

[@callumdwyer7882]

I love the way he just keeps saying, nightmare fog, it's just one of those things where sure, everything else is a little silly but the reminder of that one little detail just makes it absolutely hilarious. I could seriously see a show or at least a sketch around the nightmare fog… maybe somebody should pitch it to Tomska?

[@sam-elliotgriffiths2466]

Also this game vaguely reminds me of Snowpeircer

[@coltkrieger1086]

+Sam-Elliot Griffiths Yeah, if a carriage goes bad, they revolt and it feels like Snowpeircer.

[@onesimpleclik]

+Sam-Elliot Griffiths you read my mind. definitely has the same kind of vibe

[@LordOfCharisma]

yeah but it was a great movie

[@jamesflynn4951]

+Sam-Elliot Griffiths I am a hat, you are a shoe, so it is!

[@gunmunz]

+Sam-Elliot Griffiths I'm almost 100% sure that this was inspired by that move/ comic

[@tyray3p]

Normally in tense situations time seems to drag on, but that was the quickest 51 seconds I feel like I've ever waited on... Scary.

[@jamesb.ohearn6041]

Holy flip! This is fantastic! Are you quite sure it'll only be a double bill? I'd love to see a full run! (Also I feel like you should have been paying more attention to the dreams of carriage 1 after only checking once... since they can change and all, that's probably why they ended up getting attacked by the pods!)

[@smiglerwins]

part 2! part 2! part 2! but in all seriousness I really want to see a series of this

[@coltkrieger1086]

+ProjectSavage Do you want a part 2? Because it kinda sounds like you may want a part 2.

[@Helca_Butane]

i could never agree more forget about part 2 and please please please do a series o this

[@Helca_Butane]

i could never agree more forget about part 2 and please please please do a series on this oh and also is it just me getting a slight ftl feel from this

[@Helca_Butane]

i could never agree more forget about part 2 and please please please do a series on this oh and also is it just me getting a slight ftl feel from this

[@Helca_Butane]

i could never agree more forget about part 2 and please please please do a series on this oh and also is it just me getting a slight ftl feel from this

[@crisis8v88]

This game looks amazing. Thank you for lp-ing it!

[@TheRebel2014]

I think this game fits your personality and play style well. This would be a great quick series if you are interested in sharing more!

[@MaxOverload1]

Absolutely want to see more of this! Probably going to pick a copy up myself tomorrow, but this needs a series.

[@Romarod27]

first tharsis, then empire tv and now this, i really like good roguelike games man, keep em coming, thanks to people like you games like these gets the publicity and much needed funding they deserve

[@ncr_ranger96]

+Romarod 27 No kidding, I'm thinking of getting Tharsis and maybe this when I get some income rolling in from my tutoring.

[@Romarod27]

+Nicholas Peterman yeah im gonna get all three when i get my computer fixed, especially curious about this one and tharsis

[@SapOdd]

Please play more of this Jon, I watched it when it first came out and for some reason I still really enjoy it

[@BRUXXUS]

I've watched this series a few times since he originally posted it. Played the game a few times as well. It really is a good one.

[@rule6090]

He made a series you know?

[@razornz007]

Dude, this game is sick. Cheers for covering it, or I would never have found it!

[@juspret4427]

"They are protected by Janet Jackson, so they should be okay" Had a good laugh about this, keep up the great videos Jon!

[@rickacosta8285]

Please do a full play through! This game is awesome!

[@Cyfrik]

8:42 - "...the carnival's in town..." I guess someone just couldn't stay away from the -adamantine- "cotton candy."

[@declanmugford987]

This reminds me of Stephan kings the mist

[@keaganwyatt6790]

I'll add my vote for this being a series!

[@Artdefines06]

I would love a playthrough of this till the end or death. You find the most interesting games!

[@callisto8413]

This War Of Mine and The Mist on a train? Cool.

[@AstroPsych_]

Nightmares about pods? Someone's been playing too much XCOM.

[@BradlyClarke]

+DoctorWhoFanBadWolf lol or maybe that old movie...the pod ppl...

[@fastestpuninthewest9932]

Who wouldn't have nightmares about the damn Sectopods?

[@Zach-lf9su]

Hey Jon, I think the term you are looking for is Pneumatic Tubes

[@schuettjoel]

Happy 150,000 Jon!!!

[@calebmoore433]

CONGRATS ON 150,000!!!!!!!!!

[@TheCraftingBox]

this game is just awesome, I'd love to see more than 2 episodes

[@nickj.648]

I like the look of this game, because I love games that have a set up in a small space that you can walk around in and work with dkeyboards to do stuff, and I don't have to personally go into the nightmare fog!

[@Masterkavi]

I would love a series of this one. either that or I've got to buy the thing, and that will really cut into my studies.

[@cheerscliff]

Congrats on hitting 150K!

[@sam-elliotgriffiths2466]

Jon, there's a game called 'Contradiction' a campy British detective game set in a small village with overacting from a Tim curry like man and a man who could give any doctor who actor a run for their money and a actual interesting mystery I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllly recommend it.

[@Sephroth73]

I would love to see this

[@lauraorrico6786]

On my gosh yes! I saw geek remix play and it's hilarious

[@autumnmatthew3185]

That sounds right up his alley!

[@autumnmatthew3185]

That sounds right up his alley!

[@thundersoul6795]

Ohey, my first ever MATN video. Back when I thought that Jon is all cool and competent and has perception and intelligence above 4...

[@apppples]

I'd love to watch you live stream this for hours at a time..

[@onchristieroad]

I'd love a series of this. I've put it on my list.

[@amandareynolds-gregg5962]

Definitely want to see more of this game!

[@HypothermicIce]

I'm only 12 minutes in and I already know I want to see more of this game

[@ba-loo-loo7676]

Noticing you're in the comments right now I thought I'd recommend you a game, it's a detective-y kinda thing called 'Her Story.' You look through tapes and use words to search for new ones. The weird thing about it is that you finish the game when you think you're done, like you can 'finish' the game without doing anything.

[@torg1]

I gotta say I like this game, hope we will get a few more of it. May have to check it out

[@MEGAN135able]

Love this game! play more of it!

[@williamjones8178]

every time I make tea you have uploaded a video

[@wolfcaliburRX]

Considering the fact people are being hospitalized ever washing machine pods...this game was before its time.

[@b130610]

I really like the look of this game, I'd love to see you play more of it if you're interested.

[@JamesSmith-wd9di]

congratulations on a 150000 subscribers Jon.

[@jonathanrea1662]

This seems like it would be a fantastic oculus rift game

[@SamuelTBrooks]

Its like Snowpiercer, with more clowns, and less snow and not as incredibly disappointing.

[@NoReplyAsset]

I keep forgetting the name of this game and having to scroll through Jon's channel to recall it... it's rly memorable but hard to remember the name

[@ethankoh7992]

They should make a survivor called Preston Garvey that auto marks every possible location on the map. Preston, it is raining however. Might want to mark The Commonwealth there.

[@timelord1986]

Love it! Cant wait for the next one!

[@vaultt309]

this is very cool. im interested in seeing more.

[@jjfarls5479]

I really enjoy this, it's like ftl! Hope there're follow up episodes.

[@prestongarvey1681]

I've gotten word of another settlement that needs your help, I'll mark it on your map

[@canadian__ninja]

The first stop of the train could have been the day before my birthday at normal speed or a day after at slow speed. So close.

[@dadude4960]

you made me buy yet another game 1,08€ well spent!

[@salamanda550]

This game is really quite good

[@happyninja42]

Question, could you load up everyone (up to the cart max) into a room to force them into a specific mindset, and then relocate them to the other room? I mean it doesnt seem to take very long to shift the viewpoints of a crewmate to the leader's way of thinking. seems like you could take everyone to carriage 1 in shifts until they're all of the right mindset, and then repopulate carriage 2, only with people of that mindset. thus forcing the new leader to be of the mindset you want.

[@msyc2961]

Who else noticed he put the last person on his first raid on guard instead of searching

[@totallynotlogic9849]

I would love you to consider this as series

[@gunmunz]

This is like if stephen king vaguely heard someone talk about snowpiercer and made a game on it

[@yeetymcyeet4760]

Janet Jackson and 4 less famous people, he says with Rick Ross on his train.

[@metzgrchris]

Congrats on 150k subs.

[@stevenfanatic8182]

+2 subs don't forget

[@poruks7745]

I demand a series on this game.

[@jorchestration]

It really should have a Resident Evil Noise. You are on to something.

[@hatepluslovequalsme]

i demand MOAR of this

[@fallenhero99]

Jon this is a great game please do more!

[@Maru4992]

more of this would be great for at least one run

[@thegeneralscall]

This is actually really cool and interesting. Love more than the fallout series play-lists, just cause it's so interesting.

[@zaakoarolikin1643]

"I'm stiiilll huungggrrrriiiii" *sends scrap and med-kits first* *Last transfer: food*

[@brickct123]

Please do a playthrough of this, it's awesome

[@SwaggaDeej]

It's games like these that make me wish I had a gaming pc because games like this just never come to console, it's a shame

[@Maru4992]

more of this would be great

[@tuckerparks6391]

I love you MATN.

[@bunkerboy7885]

MAKE THIS A SERIES PLS

[@dreadc7571]

nightmare fog? nah . TRAINS! HELL YEAH!

[@UriaLordOfSearingFlames]

By all means please give us more of this

[@jackthelad9933]

Starting this series 7 years later, after discovering the game. lol. Gotta love the internet. Now, lets see if you can help me understand this oddity....

[@Dragodonv2]

How about a series there Jon? I'm really interested in what happens to your crew.

[@Vaporizerandfriends]

This is a great idea for a game!!!

[@astartesteadious3756]

This is like if the snowperceir met the mist.

[@astartesteadious3756]

Snowpiercer*

[@9thPraetorian]

Hey Jon, I know you probably get inundated with requests for games to be played. But I thought I would just throw my reccomendatio into the ring, and that is Mafia 2. It is a fantastic game with a great story line with fancy suits and even fancier hats, set in the late 40's to early mid 50's. If you can find it cheap (it's a few years old now) it would totally be worth a look.

[@ManyATrueNerd]

+TheQuayleo It does sit on a long list of games that may become series at some point.

[@9thPraetorian]

+Many A True Nerd Splendid :D

[@goncaloalmeida5301]

Great ideia, he should defenitly do that.

[@FuzzySalamander]

+Many A True Nerd I would make a counter-argument AGAINST Mafia 2 - based on playing through the entirety once, and trying to start over. That is - the introduction is incredibly slow-paced, and the game consistently does waypoints like a tennis match, putting them back and forth across the map so you spend more time travelling between points than doing actual story progression. Also, the police get on you for minor traffic infractions, in a way that is ingratiating after having played GTAV. I enjoyed the game when it came out, it was my version of Grand Theft Auto because my parents fit the demographic which thought that it turned children into violently murderous psychopaths. I see it hypothetically going one of two ways: You leave in the travel and extended cutscenes, and it takes a VERY long time, and a large amount of exposition (which you are excellent at) You edit out a large chunk of travel or redundancy - and cut it down to cutscenes and action - and in the process remove a large amount of the time used for exposition. Saw the comment, had some thoughts, shared, would like to hear what you or TheQuayleo think.

[@9thPraetorian]

+Dylan Pfandler I would argue the atmosphere is what makes driving across the map fun with constant news about the war etc. the city looks gorgeous too. on regards to the story it is incredibly well paced not too over the top like in gta and enough character development to make you care for the people in the world. the graphics are beautiful considering its a 5 year old game and hold up to time. in regards to the police how would you expect them to react if you crash into them or fly past them breaking the speed limit. it only adds to the realistic feel of the world. this is game can not be compared to gta. and has one of the greatest story lines in gaming. the vehicles handle like you would expect from cars back in the 40s and the handling changes depending on what you are driving on, be it snow, wet roads or dry roads. it is a great game and I know if jon ever gets round to playing it he will love it as it is totally the type of game he enjoys. with fancy hats and fancy convertible red cars included.

[@bjornwithit]

More Jon! this game is dope!

[@agustinvallo]

These games are great

[@codymao42]

Are there any titles you plan on doing full playthroughs of? I know it's harder for these rouge likes but we'd love to see more .

[@bunkerboy7885]

MAKE THIS A SERIES PLS!!

[@grahamshapley5531]

You mentioned in a recent stream that you wanted to play a coop game where two people were playing totally different genres of games- I'd suggest Clandestine on steam.

[@ba-loo-loo7676]

Is that the spy thing and player two uses cameras or something? Seen it in beta phase a while ago.

[@swissarmyknight2203]

this is a nice game it would be a very good series
