Welcome to the JourneyA journey told through places, people, and moments. This is a slow travel experience where you travel by train, step into new cities, and decide how to spend your time — exploring locations, meeting locals, visiting landmarks, or simply observing the world around you.There are no timers pushing you forward and no perfect routes to follow. Your journey unfolds through small choices, quiet discoveries, and meaningful moments.Choose your CharacterEach character experiences the journey in their own way. Their interests define which places bring them the most happiness. Some enjoy culture and history. Others prefer food, nature, social moments, or adventure. Choosing a character means choosing how you want to travel.Travel By TrainThe train is your main hub during the journey.
Here you can relax, talk to passengers, eat, and prepare for the next stop. Many discoveries begin on the train — through conversations and shared stories.Discover Places Though PeopleNot all destinations appear on the map. Many places are discovered through conversations, brochures, and stories. Talking to people is one of the most important ways to learn where to go next. Some locations stay hidden until you hear about them. Curiosity often leads to the most memorable moments.Explore the City MapChoose where to go next. When you arrive at a city, you can step off the train and explore. The city map shows places you can visit — both known and unknown. When you arrive at a city, you can step off the train and explore.

Some places invite you to explore deeply, others to simply observe. How much you enjoy a place depends on your character’s preferences. The more meaningful the visit, the more happiness you gain.Capture Moments and StoriesMemories matter more than efficiency. Some places allow you to take photos or collect stories. These moments become part of your journey and your diary. Not every experience needs to be optimized.
Some memories are valuable simply because they happened.Rest, Eat, and Slow DownTaking care of yourself is part of the journey. Travel isn’t only about moving forward.
Eating, resting, and slowing down help maintain your happiness. Hunger won’t end your journey, but ignoring it will affect how you feel. Don't forget to stock up on food and visit train shop to keep your character's satisfaction level high.Hotels and RestA place to pause and reset. As evening comes, most places in the city close. Hotels are a safe place to slow down, rest, and prepare for the next day. Here you can: Sleep until morning, eat at the restaurant, take a short walk nearby. Resting doesn’t give bonus happiness, but it helps stabilize your journey and keeps your rhythm balanced.Keep Your Travel DiaryYour journey is written as you go. Your travel diary records what you discover: places, photos, badges, and memorable moments. Some pages stay empty — waiting for future trips. Others slowly fill with experiences worth remembering.
