A nice little game! 

I love the looks - the scenery out the windows, the look of this classic train and the wooden floor. Plus the sound of outside rain... Gave it this relaxing, familiar yet unnerving feel. Like the game itself mentions - liminal space!

A simple, but touching story about passing... and seeing that it's dedicated to someone in the credits made it particularly sweet.

Movement speed can feel a little slow, but I can't complain, as it matches with the thoughtful feel of the story.

Great entry!

Thanks for taking the time to play! It was a hard choice to set the pace of the character so slow, any faster and the atmosphere of the train was broken somewhat.

I really enjoyed this game. I tended to look away from the screen a couple times, I was so worried about jump scares LOL. Great game.

lol, one of the people we had playtest jump scared themselves during the Lucas cutscene, I'm glad the atmosphere was tense enough to produce that kind of reaction.

I liked your story concept and the atmosphere really hit the theme. The slow walk speed made traversing the train feel like a bit of a burden at times, and the pauses between dialogue made me wonder if the game had locked up. But overall, I had a good time learning Mable's story. Nice job!
