A downloadable experience for Windows and macOS

welcome to _space_train!

a psychedelic cacophony of text and buttons. assume any one of several heady roles aboard a great, rolling behemoth of the new space age.

a deep simulation of a utopian future, where humanity has taken to the stars, by rail.

the once-in-a-lifetime experience, of a game developed with little concern for being played.

three whole years of my life,

also it's multiplayer???

follow continued development on the twitter - see entire features conceived and implemented in only several months of effort
