This is such an entertaining little game. Since the description and the pictures represent the game very well, so I won't address that. I think one can see that the creators put a lot of effort into this game world, which is cleary not meant to be a real world simulation. There are quite a few different levels from easy to difficult. When I played the game for the first time, I made the mistake to click one of the more challenging levels, which was … challenging. However, with a bit of practice, I appreciated them very much.

lil rough around the corners. i can't put it down though. the camera is wonky, the loop is plain, the puzzle is just the limitation of not being able to build over rails. More a puzzle game than a simulator or resource manager. Once you figure out the strat it's just waiting for money. The costumer and worker ai leave me wanting a bit more complexity, but, it's fun seeing norovirus spread and fill the station with puke, only to see my 4 workers all taking full day breaks lol. I'd recommend simply cus it's an indi dev and pretty brainless.

This is a game I didn't think I'd play more than an hour or two when I bought it. At the time of writing this, I have a little over 10 hours of playtime. Its a fun tycoon type game. Its fairly basic after you learn the ropes, and very addictive. I would definitely buy this game, especially if its on sale!

Thankfully, I never ran into the issues some of the negative reviews mention, my experience with the game has been smooth. It's genuinely cute, easy to pick up, and easy on the eyes. The learning curve is gentle, and there's a real charm to the whole presentation that makes it easy to get sucked into for hours at a time. My one real gripe is the "commute of the day" mode, it can feel near impossible to balance. I sank 5 hours into a single daily commute and couldn't get past platform one before my reputation completely tanked. There are clearly some balance issues here that the devs should take a look at. Outside of that, though, it's a relaxed, easy-to-learn casual sim that's hard not to recommend.

Great game overall. I love the management, all the options to build a station and satisfy commuters. There's a hint of humour too which is always fun.
