❤ Game Modes

The game presents players with three distinct gameplay modes. In "Section Mode," the game assesses your train operation skills at each station, evaluating factors like stopping position, arrival time, and various penalties. Precise timing is critical, as the game penalizes both early and late arrivals. You must carefully manage factors such as departure delays, excessive speed, horn usage, and braking to provide a smooth and respectful ride for passengers. The "Full Line Mode" challenges you to drive the entire length of the train line, from the first station to the last, with the evaluation focusing on your overall driving abilities up until the final destination. The "Free Mode" allows you to freely explore and drive the train line without any time constraints or scoring assessments.

❤ Driving Simulation

The game aims to deliver a realistic train driving experience through its use of live-action video footage and an accurate simulation of train mechanics. You control the master controller and brakes to regulate the train's speed and ensure smooth operation. The game faithfully simulates acceleration, braking, the effects of slopes and curves, and the train's inertia, providing a convincing sense of driving a real train.

❤ Scoring and Feedback

The game utilizes a scoring system that rewards your precision and adherence to the schedule. Penalties are applied for various infractions, such as speeding, excessive braking, and arrival times that are either too early or too late. This encourages you to develop a nuanced understanding of train operation and strive for optimal performance. During gameplay, the game provides detailed feedback and information, including stopping position, arrival time, and other relevant statistics. This allows you to continuously assess your performance and make adjustments to improve your driving skills.

❤ Immersive Experience

A standout feature of the game is its use of live-action video footage to create a highly immersive train driving experience. The high-definition video captures the beautiful Japanese landscapes and the realistic atmosphere of the Eizan Train line, transporting you to the heart of Kyoto. The smooth video playback, combined with the faithfully reproduced driver's seat, heightens the sense of presence and realism.

❤ Accessibility and Customization

The game is designed to be accessible to a wide range of players, offering both keyboard/mouse and controller support. You can choose your preferred control scheme and tailor the experience to your preferences. Furthermore, the game is optimized to run well on a variety of hardware setups, ensuring accessibility across different system specifications.
