  • Mini-market management - run a store and maintain its stock.

  • Product sales at checkout - experience the role of a cashier.

  • Employee management - recruit, assign tasks, and optimize team performance.

  • Luggage scanning and lost & found control - ensure that nothing suspicious goes unnoticed.

  • Real estate for employee accommodation - provide housing for your staff.

  • New locations - prison and detention center are now part of the game.

  • Expanded train stations - more rooms and activities have been added!.

Thank You for Your Support!

Once again, we truly appreciate your patience and support. These playtests are a crucial step in fine-tuning the game, and your feedback will be invaluable to us. See you on the tracks and… on Discord! 🚆💨
