About Overcrowd: A Commute 'Em Up
Overcrowd: A Commute 'Em Up is a deep management simulator where you design and operate underground metro stations, juggling crowd flow, power systems, staff hiring, and procedurally generated chaos across four vertically stacked floors. Beneath its charming pixel art lies complex systemic simulation with replayability through daily challenges and infinite station design possibilities, from efficient layouts to consumer economies and unexpected events like rat plagues and norovirus outbreaks.

Every day, millions crowd the metro in a desperate bid to get to work on time. Can you build and run the perfect station to help them make it?
Overcrowd: A Commute 'Em Up is a management/tycoon/theme/simulator set below the bustling city of Lubdon Town.

- Deep Systemic Gameplay. Don’t be fooled by the cute pixel art. Beneath the hood lies a deep, systems-based simulation encompassing refuse, power and heat management, crowd control and a consumer-driven economy with stock and pricing.
- Replayability. Design your stations across a series of procedurally generated maps. No game is the same. Build a single station or a whole network. A daily challenge means there is always a new station to build.
- Spatial Design. Build your station 4 floors deep, using stairs, escalators and lifts to connect entrances to tracks in the most efficient layouts you can devise. Control the direction of commuters using the innovative crowd flow mechanic.
- Commuter Chaos. Contend with station-wide events from rat plagues to football matches. Watch out for vandals, hoodlums and norovirus too.
- Technology Procurement. Unlock the latest tech to pimp up your station! From turnstiles, tools and ticket machines to pharmacies, pubs, ponds and plants, make your commuters’ journey to work feel special.
- Staff Management. Hire rookies and level them up, or splash out on a master mopper, medic or mechanic. Use a job grid system to prioritise their tasks.

MORE REVIEWS
"While the typical management game concerns of construction, purchasing items, hiring staff and keeping morale up are all present, Overcrowd is particularly interested in the people using your station, with an emphasis on managing the flow of the crowd"
PC Gamer
"there are elements of Overcrowd that give the game a sense of frenetic energy ... but there’s always the option to press pause and adjust without the high stakes of time ... Overcrowd is a unique meditation on a space that is ubiquitous for many people"
The Verge
"A good little early access management/construction game, cute as anything and much less casual than its' childish looks suggest ... already justifies its' price"

The text on this is painfully small. Also, I could only run the game in the tiniest of windows, because it didn't support full screen on my 4K monitor.1 found this helpful
the game starts lagging a bit once you get to the really big train stations, and sometimes the pathfinding can be a bit buggy but its a very fun, delightful game and its very satisfying to problem solve1 found this helpful
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.1 found this helpful
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!1 found this helpful
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.
