This game has HUGE animal crossing vibes, and given that this game is also available on the Nintendo Switch, it makes sense to have those kinda vibes. It has a really cosy feel to it and the game does really well to represent the LGBTQ movement by having two female characters as lovers and some characters who are nonbinary. The story can get quite emotive in some parts and there's plenty of side quests to keep you occupied, I would highly recommend this game.

So! I didn't realize that this game was a thing until a week ago, but when I saw it, I jumped on it and I'm not disappointed. It checks a whole bunch of my boxes. Cute characters, sharp dialogue, a wonderfully chilled soundtrack and trains! I've put 22 hours in so far and I'm still quite enjoying the story as it progresses. You can be as casual or as storyline focused as you like, which is great! There are no bonuses for doing a delivery quickly, nor any penalties for letting a passenger ride around the map three times before hitting their stop. If I did have a complaint, once you reach mid-game you can really get bogged down by all of the package and passenger deliveries that pile up if you take them all on. But, since I took every passenger I could find, I have no one but myself to blame. All in all, a great game. Not too deep, plenty to do, humorous characters, crisp downbeat soundtrack and loads of customization. Definitely worth the price.

Very nicely made game. It was everything I've ever wanted in a train game. Unfortunately, it gets repetitive quickly, and I found that I ran out of things to look forward to. Sadly I can't reliably say I'd play for another 8 hours.

Gets very boring real fast as the gameplay boils down to fetch quests.

I had great fun 100⁒ing this game
