Liked some things about this didn't like others. Did not finish
This is kinda a neat game. It feels a bit inspired by Grand Theft Auto in some ways. It's a somewhat janky urban crime kinda setting/sim. The main part about it is piloting a intra-city passenger train... It's not bad but it's not that amazing. It's relaxing though.
You slowly can upgrade youre routes by levelling up and getting experience. …

You slowly can upgrade youre routes by levelling up and getting experience. More busy routes mean more fares mean more money to you! But also they are longer and that can be tiring. The trouble with this game is that it is repetitive to just pilot trains over and over until the day is done.
The special sauce in this game is the weird characters, sidequests and exploring the city. It's a very small city, really and as you talk to people and do their quests you get small rewards and a sense of satisfaction and more often than not (a good bit of GTA-esque off-color amusement.)
However the game design is flawed and begins to break down. You have to eat and do other things (like reduce your stress and increase your sanity) this means consuming lots of overpriced foodstuffs. So, as you make money you spend it just as quick. This kind of creates an artificial feeling that the game is way too drawn out really, much more than it need be.
I technically did most of this game i think. (Not sure how one 'completes it') I managed to complete almost all the sidequests of the cities various characters, unlocked some of the advanced train routes... but i'm still living in the sewers, the point of upgrading your living situation? Dating Options??? (I think i'm okay being single.. I'll just play another game now) :)
