Afraid of trains? Well, you will be after playing Escape The Man-Eating Train.

In this survival horror game, catch a train travelling across the desolate Archipelago desert and fend against Edward, the titular train with spider-like legs. Don’t worry, you’re not completely defenceless. Use guns and armour purchased at train stations to fight back against Edward and enemy players.

Midnight Terror is not your typical Roblox horror survival game. Play through multiple times and try to uncover all three endings to piece together the full story of Midnight Terror.
