How does your game fit the theme?
I was in the train when I saw the theme and asked myself what if I'm the train. Then I thought about visual novel and how often we choose dialogue and in this game I wanted to give the opportunity for the player to create situations for dialogues instead.

Wow, I absolutely loved this game, it was so wholesome. I love the art the music, and especially the different characters. This is especially impressive considering that it was a solo build as well!
omg I love bitsy games so much, so good to see such a sweet and creative entry for the jam! Nice background music choice aswell, so soothing! Congrats, I loved it!
Cool idea and I like the calming art style and music. I found it a bit slow but I think that's because I am not used to this genre of game and so will not judge it badly for this :)
oh wow this is really cool. i like the minimalist art and the bgm you chose, sure, but the core idea is what makes this game unique. i really love when narrative choices are framed in unusual ways. it def feels like you could make a slightly longer game with more stories using this exact framework :) thank you!
Well done! I really like the art direction, which gives it a very cute look.
Was a really cute an wonderfull unique experience, I loved the use of the cursor to intereact, it was like moving my mind trough the discution of the characters
Glad you made the jam
This was super cute and completely made my day. I'm glad you wound up making this game for the jam. If you ever go back and expand upon the concept Ill be sure to check it out again.
Unique concept, strong idea and incredibly wholesome. I mean it, I love the fact that the dev just told the story of how they got there. felt like being in the train with my cheek on the window and daydreaming about a sorta romantic game.
This is what game jams are about for me, thank you so much
Big love on you.
That is a really impressive game for solo development! I loved the style and the idea itself, it was very calming and you did amazing job! I personally resonated with Bianca passenger the most :D
Thank you :))
Very unique concept, don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. Nicely done.
I love trains:D
a nice change of pace from most of the games I've played
Ooooh thank you. It's a different vibe yea haha.
Hehe I am train. very calming and relaxing, just what I need after 48hours of game jam
its a very interesting concept! Story games like this are always interesting. well done!
Chill, cute, and very well though. I was kinda weird out by the "you"'re a train, now here's a computer" but the idea of being a visual novel where you get the choice at the end is cool and make a good twist. The character get really good personalities with very few, it's quite well done !
Oh yea definitely haha.
I didn’t know how I could make the difference between being a train and a train driver.
So I thought that if I was a train, I would like to play with the reservation system as a sort of cupid. Because I’m like that in real life.
I wasn’t sure on how to draw a train reservation system, so I went with an old computer vibe.
Thank you for the compliment on the characters, because I created the characters and the dialogues in like 2 hours so I’m glad that they’ve come through. Even though I went in the project with more of carefree comedic approach. It was quite tainted by the current situation in France.

Really cute game. I love the simple but excellent art style. Creative use of theme. Great job!
Thank you so much !
My story broke a bit and didn't actually respond to my selections (or I didn't figure out how to make the selections I wanted) but I liked the concept!
I’m sad that there were issues for you. Maybe I could have put reminder on how to select a passenger. But thank you for the feedback.

The situation I got into was rather uncomfortable, and I had to stop playing. I don't know if that was an intentional decision on the part of the author, but the wording felt... off. Also, there isn't a zoomed in option or fullscreen, as far as I'm aware. Nifty graphics, though.
Thank you for the feedback.
Concerning the wording, it could have been due to me being French but also I’ve made the choice to create dialogues with specific point of view.
The engine I used also could have cut sentences in strange moment. It’s great for a solo dev who doesn’t code much but it can overcomplicate things.
