There’s only a short time left before departure. The crowded platform is filled with aggressive commuters who bump into you, people behaving strangely, pillars that suddenly move, and even giant barrels falling from above.

Chain kicks together for satisfying combos. Swipe across the upper half of the screen to look around using the third-person camera. Choose from three difficulty levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. The higher the difficulty, the more intense the station’s anomalies and obstacles become.
