About the game
You wake on the last train of the night with a paper timetable in your hand. Three carriages, a conductor who never says a word, and platforms that should not be on this line.
Between stops the timetable rewrites one line. A time slips by a few minutes. A platform number is different. A station you passed now has a slightly wrong name. Nothing tells you. Your pocket stub keeps the sheet from the last platform, so read both and remember.
At every platform you choose: step off, stay aboard, or pull the emergency cord. Every stairwell looks the same, and a wrong stop costs you a punch and part of the night. The conductor punches your ticket at each stop you ride through, and the punches are your save.
The train has rules and it teaches them the hard way. Hold your reflection in the glass too long, sit in the reserved seat, read the timetable in the dark, or open the connecting door between stations. When the rattle of the rails goes quiet, something is in the car with you.
Five stops in a loop, three endings. A full ride takes up to thirty minutes, less if you doze on a seat. Every spoken line is subtitled.
The free browser demo covers the first two stops.
