Independent Canadian Studio Folklore Games Release the Steam Page for their new game Manifest Unknown.
In 2024 Folklore Games released their first game Spiral, which James reviewed and liked it a lot, saying:
Spiral is a heartfelt and beautifully crafted exploration of life, memory, and acceptance. It’s evident that the developers approached this sensitive subject with personal care and respect, as highlighted in the game’s dedication to loved ones in its closing credits.
What is Manifest Unknown About?
In this narratively driven train Sim, you’re the driver of a train full of mysteries. Your family is counting on you. Will you stay on schedule and follow orders, or risk stepping off duty to uncover the secrets hiding along the line? The choice is yours.

The work is quite simple: follow instructions, drive from station to station to drop off and pick up new cargo, handle the mailing service, get paid, and make sure that your family get the money they need to thrive. If you do so promptly, you can even get some extra money and be able to get everything you’ve ever wanted on that new incredible machine, so let’s not waste any time! Let’s all be understanding and pragmatic here, even if around the corner you encounter some detail that doesn’t sound right. There’s no reason for you to waste your time looking into it. We have it under control, and there’s a saying about curiosity and cats… Besides, I’ve heard your family is counting on you.
