You could kill someone

In certain games, this wouldn’t be a con, but considering this is an active train station, this is something that you’re going to probably not want to do, especially when police walk around.

Basically, I found this out because you have a baton stick for miscreants.

I was chasing away a vandal and smacked him too many times, and then had to dump his body into a garbage bin. Nobody freaked out, the police weren’t alerted, but it’s not something you want laying around out in the open.

I’m used to sim games where you can smack repeatedly with no repercussions. This is the first one where I kind of regretted doing it.

Train takes a bit to clean

I know I touched base on how the game isn’t too hectic, but there comes a point toward the end of the demo where you’ll be cleaning a train.

In order to get to the area to allow you to do this, you have to cross two train tracks. I’m not sure if you can get hit by a train, but I wasn’t going to try it. Once you enter the train…well, trains are fairly long. And not only do you have to pick up the trash within the aisle and seats, you’re also tasked with mopping up the stains.

It can take a good while to get everything clean, though there is a meter for cleanliness in stains and trash and you don’t have to get it to completely zero, but still.

The garbage bin is also a fair distance away when you need to toss the trash, but not only that, there are still people waiting at the station for tickets and for you to do something at the post office. So I’m hoping at this point in the actual game, we’ll be able to maybe hire someone to take the load off.

Otherwise it’s just too much.

Not too hectic

There’s a lot of little things you could be doing in this game. Stuff like cleaning up around the train station itself and checking the bathrooms from time to time, as well as ordering what you need, but none of it brings a real sense of urgency.

It’s kind of a go it at your own pace, but also make sure that the upkeep is done in a decently timed fashion.

Aside from the little things, you also need to sell the tickets and run the post office. Two seemingly daunting tasks, but they devs had made them pretty darn easy to do, and set the two booths beside each other. The customers I don’t think have a time limit for you to get through them, until the moment you’re actually engaged in the process.

At that point, there’s a bar over their heads that slowly fills.

For the demo, you get plenty of time to give them the appropriate ticket, as well as do what needs to be done in the post office section.
