Welcome to the newcomers & small update!

Hello everyone!

We're writing a little spontaneous post on Steam, as many of you have been asking about the game since the french livestream from Wankil Studio (thanks for the live stream!).

Since the launch at the very end of August, we've made a lot of changes to the game, and we're continuing to improve it all the time.

Some facts to know about the game

  • The game is played by two players. One on Steam, the other on mobile or on Steam via the Companion app (free, whether or not you have the main game).
  • You and your partner do not have the same game screen. Puzzles are procedurally generated, so solutions may differ from one game to the next.
    [Internet is not required to play! Everything synchronizes via codes you send to each other during the game. You can play the game in the same room, on the phone, via Discord and more...
  • The hint system has been improved to make it simpler. Don't forget to text (via the companion app) the clues recovered by the player locked in the train.
  • There's a color-blind mode available!
  • You'll find 7 cars in the game, getting harder and longer!
  • The game is 100% French, from a Parisian publisher, Just For Games, and a Lyon-based developer, Breakfirst Games! :)

If you like the game, don't hesitate to post a positive review on Steam, it helps us enormously! We've had a little bit of review bombing because the Chinese language isn't quite up to par with the other languages in the game. We're in the process of reworking it with a new partner, but the negative reviews coming from this Chinese version are weighing down the overall rating of the game, which is really bothering us :(

Have a good escape, Emy & Johan!
