A quiet, text-driven journey through generations, where you click through history and witness the weight of unspoken choices.

What players say
Players describe it as a short, interactive historical essay that uses a train ride to explore modern history through a family story. They praise the art and writing but say the game is relatively brief and linear, which works well for its heavy, thought-provoking subject matter. The ending leaves players reflecting on the world outside the game.
