[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!
