This works really well! It was a real challenge to try and figure out where the train was on the map all while tracking the other trains. The presentation is also very good, as I didn't struggle with the interface at all.
I wonder if speeding up the text would add to the tension of this simulation? I found that the pace slowed down a bit when I was trying to locate the train by prompting the driver to look out the window. Since there are a few repeated lines of text this slowed me down.
Overall, it was very satisfying to regain control of the train and direct it to safety. It reminded me a lot of the board game SONAR (which is a very good thing)! Well done!

Thanks for playing! I agree it takes too long to look out the window and hence it's far too difficult to find yourself on the map. This is probably my #1 thing to fix if I get around to tweaking this game. Ha thinking about SONAR, this could be even more chaotic as a multiplayer game where each player has a different piece of information and have to communicate with each other by the phone as well as the driver!
