About the game
You find yourself lost in an intricate subway system with nothing but a strange word to guide you...
As if that wasn’t bad enough, everything is written in a foreign language that you can’t understand. To navigate, you’ll have to rely on incomplete maps, unreliable commuters and even a sliver of luck. While the main objective is as simple as finding your right stop, the more you explore, the more you’ll learn about the mysterious transport hub that seems to have a mind of its own.
Find your station, or become ever more lost in Trainslation.
