Very cute story. You managed to make an interesting blend of characters. I'll have to play through a few more times to see the effects of my choices.

Not working for me. It loads and I get into the intro train carriage and the balloon talks to me but WASD doesn't move the character.

Thats odd. Are you playing on chrome or edge by any chance? Our testers encountered issues with those browsers too. Does reloading the page help at all?

Very chill! Played it through a few times because the dialogue options are non-verbal and wanted to see where the vibe played out!

This game was a lovely way to spend an evening. I enjoyed the dialogue and felt the calm atmosphere was great. I really enjoyed many of the characters, especially The Lone Passenger. Highly recommend this game for someone looking for a relaxing but intriguing game.
