Choo-Choo Charles was largely inspired by the 3D horror animation Thomas Feeds by Tom Coben [10] which depicts Thomas the Tank Engine as a monstrous spider-train hybrid. The animation was published in November 2020 to Coben's YouTube channel. Inspiration was likely also gleaned from Charlie the Choo-Choo, a 2016 children's book written by Stephen King as part of The Dark Tower series. [11] Valentine, Rebekah (June 9, 2022).

However, in a post-credits scene, it is revealed that Charles has hundreds of eggs hiding in a cavern, indicating his return. These brief bits are little more than a series of hallways with masked enemies walking around where your only option is to avoid them. You aren’t given any weapons aside from the ones you keep on your train, so you’ll either have to sneak around and wait for NPCs to walk by, or just run past them since they’re slow, stupid, and have poor aim. Sneaking is aggressively not fun, since the only tool you’re given to aid you is the ability to lean left or right to peer around corners from cover. You can’t distract enemies, do stealth takedowns, or even crouch to aid you in the effort. Personally, I found it more bearable to just run past everything, grab the egg, and leave. Or if you’re feeling cheeky, just lead the enemies outside the mine, hop in your train, and kill them with your guns (though that isn’t really worth the time required to pull it off).
