Station
To Station

Station to Station (2023) is a railway-building puzzle game about connecting commerce and community to create a beautiful rail network. Play is about making connections between buildings to move materials and people around the world efficiently. It stands out for taking the transport sim in a more relaxing direction where the overarching system is more important than the minutiae of specific routes.

You start with a small world and a handful of rural buildings. Play involves identifying which connections are needed to ferry resources and people from place to place. As you make these routes you create growth and expansion of your community. Get this right and you will be rewarded with challenges and bonuses that unlock unique mechanics in each location,

As you progress you develop a complex rail network that builds these connections and causes the world to flourish. The block-built world soon becomes vibrant and lush with life and colour. Whether you play in the dry desert or work to transform the untamed mountain terrain you can create an ever-widening tapestry of flora and fauna.

The result is a game as much about world-building as about puzzling. It takes the transport challenge of games like Mini Metro and Train Valley but focuses on connections rather than route making. This makes for a more relaxing game where you don't have to worry about which track goes where and can instead focus on efficiency and the flow of resources.
