Once you’re stable, decide the direction of development—will your station become a tourist hotspot or a commercial hub? As your station expands, you’ll unlock the train yard, where you can customize trains with your favorite colors and designs! [Story] After a major failure at work, you—once an elite employee—are reassigned to this unusual project. Here, you take on the role of Stationmaster, joined by three energetic “station girls” assigned to support you. Together, you must tackle the ambitious mission of handling 500,000 passengers in a single day. What secrets lie in the Stationmaster’s past…? And what is the true purpose behind this project…? [From the Developers] Because it’s a train-themed game, both adults and kids can enjoy playing together! At first it might feel a little challenging, so we recommend parents play alongside younger kids. We plan to keep adding new elements and features in future updates to make the experience even more fun. We’d love for you to download the game and start building your dream station today!
