About Short Trip

A short, scenic railway for cats. Hand drawn over 5 years.


The cats living along the mountain railway have places to be. You, the sole cat operating the tram, have the delightful duty of transporting them.
  • A hand-drawn world five years in the making
  • Perfect if you need to relax
  • Short and sweet
  • Earn a high score in new scheduled mode
Short Trip is an interactive illustration created by me, Alexander Perrin. Use the left and right keys to drive a scenic tram across a tranquil hand-drawn mountainscape, picking up and dropping off cat passengers as you go.Since the initial free launch, Short Trip has been enjoyed by millions of players. This complete version includes all the content of the original while adding a new “scheduled” mode that integrates your computer’s clock to create a tram timetable. Reach each station at the correct time and rack up a high score! I’ve also included a little peek behind the scenes at the development process for the curious.This is a “slow play” game designed to help players relax and unwind from the bustle of the day. I hope you enjoy your trip.About me
I’m an Australia-based artist with a passion for meticulous dynamics, detailed digital rendering techniques, and cats (Short Trip is an expression of all three). I also make indie games as one half of 2pt Interactive.

This lovely game is indeed SteamOS compatible. I hope Valve catched my details from a recent playthrough.

Truly a work of art, a simple, silent memorial piece to the simple joys in life. Would recommend.

This game is a genuine delight! Obviously the big draw is the incredible hand-drawn visuals, as every detail is full of charm and well worth slowing down to admire, but I was also very impressed by how real the trolley feels: the sounds of it going over a bridge and the way it doesn't immediately stop when you get go of the stick give it an extremely tangible sense of weight. The sound work and atmosphere in this game is just lovely, you can practically smell the crisp mountain air, and if you have any kids who want to play games they'll probably love being able to ring the bell. Score mode felt a little clunky to me but I also just enjoyed going up and down the mountain a couple of times in free play, it was a wonderful bit of relaxation. It's a short experience, but with quality like this and an asking price of only $2, I wouldn't miss it.

Amazingly beautiful game! So gentle and fun. Basic and absolutely breath taking.

It's not easy to make a game using pencil drawings, and to make the drawings convey well on-screen. The developer has done a great job at making the pencil drawings actually feel like pencil drawings, without them feeling digital again through being edited/altered on the computer. The simplicity of the gameplay also allows you to focus on the artwork/audio and take in the world. Really nice little game.
