The Quest will take you from one corner of Malaga and its surroundings to another: under the sea, along the beaches, to a natural site, through the streets and perhaps even somewhere lost. But you’re lucky because you’ll have the help of a good part of the Alboran LifeWatch team. What are you going to find? That’s exactly what you're going to discover on this biodiversity journey. Alboran LifeWatch is a biodiversity project linked to the observation, study and monitoring of the fauna and flora of the coast of Malaga and the Alboran Sea. It’s an initiative linked to Malaga’s Urban Agenda and Malaga City Council’s Climate Plan 2050. This is an action co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund. In this interactive visual novel, you will set off from the MUAL Alboran Museum on an adventure to restore a treasure map whose pieces are scattered throughout the city of Malaga and its surroundings. You will have the help of a few collaborators from the Alboran LifeWatch project, and some of them may surprise you. This game has immersive audio thanks to binaural field recordings that reproduce the sound in 360º. The use of headphones is recommended to fully enjoy the experience. Responsible use of headphones with moderate volume level is important to avoid the risk of hearing damage. The Quest is an interactive visual novel developed at the Polo Nacional de Contenidos Digitales de Málaga by Novelingo for Alboran LifeWatch, with music by Krill Audio and illustrations by Carla Lucena.

Tokyo Train Loop Build a circular railway that loops around Tokyo ----- Gradually add more trains to the city, extend the tracks, connect the stations, and eventually complete “one great circular loop” around Tokyo. Tokyo Train Loop is a route-building simulation game set in Tokyo, where you can sit back and watch a world of endlessly running trains while nurturing your very own circular railway. ----- Watching trains loop around is deeply satisfying On screen, trains travel quietly—and steadily—through the streets of Tokyo. What begins as a short stretch of track grows longer as you play, eventually developing into a full loop that circles the city. As trains increase, formations grow longer, and the rails finally connect into one continuous circle, feel the satisfaction of completing the loop. This game is designed to make the process of building the loop itself enjoyable. ----- Extend the rails and expand Tokyo Your actions are simple:  Add train cars  Extend the tracks  Improve facilities  Create new trains With just these, the city and its railway will naturally grow. No complicated controls or confusing systems. Easy to enjoy with a few taps—or even just by watching. Designed so anyone can play comfortably. ----- A Tokyo that shifts from day to night The city changes with time. Morning, daytime, evening, and night— the light and atmosphere gently evolve as the hours pass.  Bright daytime Tokyo  Rails glowing in the sunset  Trains and city lights shining at night Even simply watching the trains run as the scenery slowly changes can feel surprisingly calming. ----- Play at your own pace, as long as you like In Tokyo Train Loop, there’s no pressure. No rankings to chase, no demanding gameplay, no difficult controls. Perfect for:  Players who want to progress little by little  Fans of trains and city scenery  Anyone who enjoys relaxing, watch-and-play games Whatever your style, the game is built to match your pace. ----- More and more to unlock over time As you progress, Tokyo becomes livelier with:  New types of trains  Changes in train formations  Expanded routes  A busier, more vibrant city A city that starts quiet, then slowly fills with trains— watching that transformation is part of the charm. ----- “Completion” isn’t the end Even after the circular loop is complete, the journey continues. You can keep developing the route, add more buildings to create an even more beautiful cityscape, and shape Tokyo into the world you want to see. A city you can keep watching for as long as you like— that’s the Tokyo we aim to build. ----- Tokyo Train Loop is perfect for players who:  Love trains and railways  Enjoy steady, incremental growth  Want short, relaxing play sessions during busy days  Are looking for a calming game to watch and unwind If any of that sounds like you, this world is waiting. ----- Complete your own circular railway around Tokyo. Together with trains that never stop, why not grow Tokyo’s city and rail network— slowly, gently, at your own pace? Sound effects provided by https://otologic.jp
