How does your game fit the theme?
I was in the train when I saw the theme and asked myself what if I'm the train. Then I thought about visual novel and how often we choose dialogue and in this game I wanted to give the opportunity for the player to create situations for dialogues instead.

its a very interesting concept! Story games like this are always interesting. well done!
Chill, cute, and very well though. I was kinda weird out by the "you"'re a train, now here's a computer" but the idea of being a visual novel where you get the choice at the end is cool and make a good twist. The character get really good personalities with very few, it's quite well done !
Oh yea definitely haha.
I didn’t know how I could make the difference between being a train and a train driver.
So I thought that if I was a train, I would like to play with the reservation system as a sort of cupid. Because I’m like that in real life.
I wasn’t sure on how to draw a train reservation system, so I went with an old computer vibe.
Thank you for the compliment on the characters, because I created the characters and the dialogues in like 2 hours so I’m glad that they’ve come through. Even though I went in the project with more of carefree comedic approach. It was quite tainted by the current situation in France.

Really cute game. I love the simple but excellent art style. Creative use of theme. Great job!
Thank you so much !
My story broke a bit and didn't actually respond to my selections (or I didn't figure out how to make the selections I wanted) but I liked the concept!
I’m sad that there were issues for you. Maybe I could have put reminder on how to select a passenger. But thank you for the feedback.

The situation I got into was rather uncomfortable, and I had to stop playing. I don't know if that was an intentional decision on the part of the author, but the wording felt... off. Also, there isn't a zoomed in option or fullscreen, as far as I'm aware. Nifty graphics, though.
Thank you for the feedback.
Concerning the wording, it could have been due to me being French but also I’ve made the choice to create dialogues with specific point of view.
The engine I used also could have cut sentences in strange moment. It’s great for a solo dev who doesn’t code much but it can overcomplicate things.
