Train45 Characters
Four extraordinary women share your fate aboard the endless Train45. Each companion offers unique perspectives, emotional arcs, and branching endings tied to the anomaly investigation journey.
The Companions of Train45
When you awaken aboard the mysterious Train45, you find yourself trapped alongside strangers pulled from entirely different walks of life. These companions become your only allies against the supernatural anomalies haunting each car, and the emotional bonds you forge with them determine which endings and story paths become available throughout your journey.
Each character responds differently to your investigation style, dialogue choices, and gift-giving decisions. The emotion system tracks affinity independently for every companion, meaning your relationship with Reina does not diminish your standing with Mai or other characters. However, certain pivotal story moments require choosing one companion's perspective over another, creating meaningful branching points that define your playthrough experience.
Full Japanese voice acting brings each character to life with distinct speech patterns and emotional delivery. Understanding character personalities before making affinity investments helps you plan route strategies efficiently, especially when pursuing specific endings or Steam achievements tied to individual companion storylines.

Reina quietly supports everyone's morale and often provides practical insights about anomaly patterns that other companions overlook.
Reina's route emphasizes mutual trust built through consistent, reliable behavior during investigations.
