How to Play Short Trip
Control the train gently
In Short Trip, you play as a cat driving a small train along a mountain railway. Your main task is to steer the train left or right, maintaining a steady pace and enjoying each moment of the journey.
Stop the train and pick up/drop off passengers
Along the way, you'll encounter small stations where the cat passengers are waiting. Stop the train at the right time to pick up or drop off passengers. Each stop contributes to the feeling of an ordinary yet warm and poetic journey.
Using the Bells to Interact
The train bells are more than just buttons; they're a way to interact with the world around you. The gentle sound of the bells blends seamlessly into the space, creating a connection between the train, passengers, and scenery, making the journey more vibrant and emotionally rich.
Observe and Feel the Scenery
Short Trip has no winning or losing objective, so you can take your time observing the mountain scenery, trees, and subtle hand-drawn movements.
