Hi everyone In the last community update, we teased one of Truckful's main antagonists - the mysterious, terrifying Ghost Truck roaming the countryside at night. Today, we'd like to showcase it a bit more - with early concept arts, models and some new gameplay. Let's go!

Early concepts & truck models

We had truckloads of fun playing with some early concept designs for the 'evil truck'. One of our inspirations was a 1971 movie called Duel, made by Steven Spielberg. The 'enemy' in this movie, was a big, rusty and scary Peterbilt truck. What struck us the most was that you could never see who is behind the wheel and found this idea very interesting - perfect for Truckful's ghost truck idea.
We wanted to make it look grim, rusty and almost bunker-like with little space left for windows. We also added a chain with a hook and curled it around the front bumper that resembles a winch, giving the Ghost Truck some 'teeth'.

Ghost Truck's disturbing presence

Encounters with the Ghost Truck won't be limited to duels and boss fights. While driving and delivering cargo, players will occassionally bump into wreckages, peculiar forest growth and other disturbing signs of its dark presence. All these elements found during exploration will paint a better picture of the game world, story and most importantly - Ghost Truck's true origin.

Ghost Truck chase gameplay

The Ghost Truck, once encountered, will aggressively chase you around the forest, trying to break your pickup truck and make you loose cargo. First thing players will notice is the sound - giving goosebumps, sounding like a freight truck or even worse.. a huge container ship! Terrifying sounds will be followed by grim red lights, which indicate to push the pedal to the metal and try to avoid this evil rusty demon.
Full chase gameplay is available on our YouTube channel Stay tuned for more reveals soon as Ghost Truck is not the only enemy you'll face in Truckful. https://youtu.be/tfS-7yJGcaM

TRUCKFUL is a single player car delivery adventure game based around completing errands and quests for villagers and uncovering the ancient mystery that surrounds the nearby old forest.



Drive your pickup truck through winding countryside roads, dusty lowlands and small towns. Upgrade the truck, improve its weight and load capacity to make it go faster through all kinds of demanding routes. Pack the bed with fragile & shaky cargo of all shapes and kinds, whether its ice cold fish that needs to be delivered fast, or a classic grandma vase that will put your driving skills to the true test.


The seemingly welcoming countryside has its secrets. Hidden paths, misty wetlands, unforgiving marshes and dusty quicksands tell the stories of the past, waiting to be discovered. Explore a variety of landmarks and its surroundings and discover secrets hidden behind the forest branches.


Your quest requires a trustworthy tool to get you through some of the most challenging errands swiftly - an old reliable pickup truck. With a large cargo bed, it can deliver all kinds of goods to the townsfolk that will appreciate your work and often help with upgrades, scrap collection and more. They will also help you unveil the great forest mystery.


The ancient forest on the countryside outskirts is unwelcoming to visitors and often mentioned in local legends and myths. The overwhelming feeling of something lurking in the tree branch shadows is hard to shake off. Face the adversity and uncover its deep roots.
