Your feedback is appreciated, but what I don't understand is why (in your words) a "lowest of all time" deal you think is "faked in popularity" or "artificially boosted" (as you say). Please look at this OP's other posts. Or look at mine. Sort by newest (not relevance). You will see plenty of other posts that did not progress (or 'boost'). Our goals are always to post from quality stores, post quality items, at a great price. We always research the deals we post but no one is perfect and while we do appreciate your feedback, I can assure that popularity is not faked. In the end, each deal is standing on its own.

"Don't ask me silly questions
I won't play silly games
I'm just a simple choo choo train
And I'll always be the same.

I only want to race along
Beneath the bright blue sky
And be a happy choo choo train
Until the day I die."

These types of games have become so generic and played out.
If it's not evil animatronic Chuck E Cheese robots, then it's a little girl doll, stuffed animals, all of which have hundreds of razor-sharp teeth. And now we have Thomas the Train with hundreds of razor-sharp teeth and spider legs.
It is hard to find any innovation in these shallow jumpscare games, and for some reason, they are marketed towards kids.

Choo-Choo Charles is a silly mess of an adventure, with its joke of a premise falling short of ever delivering the punchline. Combat against the evil train is always tedious and repetitive, and running quests on foot is even more unappealing with awful stealth sections through dilapidated hallways. Throw in some annoying bugs and a lifeless, empty map, and this funny nugget of an idea disappoints in so many ways it actually makes me angry. Sadly, I have to recommend you choo-choo-choose a different way to spend your time.

Saw a review say this was like a 2 hour game. Can anybody confirm that playtime?
If you take your time, it could take longer. The lore isn't deep and the gameplay is pretty simple, but I would consider this well worth the time! At this price, it's an easy recommend from me 🙂

Lowest of all time according to steamDB. But the artificial boosting in popularity by slickdeals staff is what really bothers me. It is one thing to post a sponsored deal, faking its popularity is just wrong. Degrades the quality of the site and features it offers.
Bro, Quality isn't necessarily the driving force for Choo Choo Charles. And it's definitely not a sponsored deal, the sponsored deal is it being on sale for closer to it's real value. That said, it's a popular game for it's absurdity and cultural impact; I think it's ok, and definitely worth the deal...I bought 3 copies for friends/family.

You would expect at least 100 hours for this price.

Just FYI at the current time this game does not have Steam Cloud saves.
Don't be like me and learn this lesson the hard way.
