Read full description

Transfer here, or ride one more stop? Before the Last Train! is a route-planning puzzle set on the Seoul metropolitan subway network. Tap the next station, choose where to transfer, and reach your destination within the time limit. ■ Take your time to think The clock only decreases when you travel or transfer. It pauses while you study the map, so you can consider your next move at your own pace. ■ Fewer transfers aren't always faster Should you take a longer ride to avoid a transfer, or change lines again to save time? Compare your options and see how much time you can keep by choosing a different route. ■ From short trips to multi-stop journeys Explore 118 stages across 8 levels. Start with nearby destinations, then tackle multiple transfers, required stops, and journeys where you must visit two destinations. ■ Find new routes on a familiar network Explore the 655 stations and 24 lines included in the game. Zoom and pan across the map to plan your journey. ■ Find a better route and earn more stars Earn stars based on the time remaining when you arrive. Replay completed stages to improve your best results. Available in Korean, English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. No account is required to play. Your progress and language settings are saved on your device. After a failed attempt, you may choose to watch a rewarded ad to receive extra time once per attempt. Watching ads requires an internet connection. Please note: This is a puzzle game. Routes and travel times in the game may differ from actual services. Do not use it to check real last-train times or plan real-world journeys.
