About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

Run the board.

It is the night shift and the trains do not wait. You work one green-and-amber control terminal as the signal operator. Read the timetable, bring approaching trains in, hold the ones running late, and release them down the main line before the next service reaches the junction.

One wrong route locks the line.

Send a train onto an occupied platform, foul the junction, or release one early and the interlocking trips. Now you are filing the incident report, naming the cause, and clearing the block while three more trains stack up behind it. Each shift gets tighter, and the clock keeps moving.

Earn your grade.

You start as a trainee on a quiet branch and work up shift by shift: city terminals, tangled interchanges, and the graveyard rush where a lot goes wrong at once. Every railyard runs the same schedule each time, so a bad shift is on you, and getting good at it is real.

Features

The whole job on one screen. No menus to dig through. Every train, signal, and report lives on one hand-built CRT board. Learn it in a shift, chase an A for weeks.

Deterministic puzzles. Seeded schedules, so it comes down to skill, not luck.

Six difficulty tiers, from a quiet induction run to the hidden graveyard shift, each with its own railyards.

Full controller support and a keyboard-first design that runs well on the Steam Deck.

Station ambience that reacts to your board: crowd noise, rolling stock, and platform announcements.

15 achievements and lifetime stats.

Three terminal colours: emerald, amber, and lapis.

Languages

Interface and station announcements in English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese . Text and voice can be set separately.

Clock in and take the board.
