About this game

Somewhere along the hydrangea line...

Board a train winding through Japan and take a seat. Around you, passengers drift in and out at each stop, each with their own story. 

In this pixel art narrative adventure, your responses matter. As the journey goes on and the seats around you slowly empty, you begin to wonder what it is exactly that connects every soul on board.

Features

  • Branching conversations with a cast of nine other passengers

  • Your choices shape what each passenger shares (or what they keep to themselves)

  • A hidden thread connecting every story, revealed across a single journey

  • Hand-crafted pixel art set across a changing Japanese landscape

  • A peaceful piano soundtrack and lighting that shift with the mood of the train
