RUNNING TRAIN v190526

About The Game

RUNNING TRAIN 走ル列車 asks a simple question. What if driving a train was not about stress but about finding a moment of calm in a busy day. This 2026 casual indie simulation Early Access game from Novatetsu Games lets you answer by taking the conductor seat on a picturesque local line. You start your shift at a small rural station. Your passengers are few, but they each have a small story, a student heading to school, an elderly couple on a day trip. The game encourages you to drive gently, because a sudden stop spills coffee and upsets the mood. The latest version adds a passenger satisfaction meter that rewards smooth driving and on time arrivals.

Simulation elements are light but authentic, with working signals, crossing gates, and a simple timetable. Casual design means you can pause at any time and never fail, just receive a lower score. Indie art style uses pixel art characters against painted backgrounds. Early Access currently includes one full line with eight stations, with more planned. You can also unlock different train liveries and cab decorations by completing achievements. The soundtrack features soft piano and field recordings of real Japanese trains. If you believe that the journey itself is the destination, you should download the game and take the RUNNING TRAIN.
