Really beautiful game, made me introspect a lot.

A cup of tea marks the countdown to each train crash. Every loop gives players just enough time to uncover memories, connect passengers, and inch closer to the truth before time resets.

Woo! philosophical.. I loved the idea, the narrative and each character’s story! I was just wondering if there are infinite chances available :D
I was so impressed with how much content there was here for a game jam! Really loved the narrative story you developed here. Your whole team should be very proud.
Really enjoyed playing this one! I was hooked by the title which reminded me of a book, and I found the narrative and atmosphere to be really good. Although I do wish that the character moved a bit faster. But great job!
I was expecting some weird red herring twist about the purgatory or something similar at the end, but I'm glad you kept it grounded :) Solid narrative, although gameplay wise I think I'd prefer something more than a chain of different items meant for different people, but maybe that's just me.
A fun premise with some solid writing. Not really sure what the time loop element added to the game.
Was not expecting to find what I found in the compartment, haha. Great story, love the game!
This is fun. Great feeling, and I like the message of the story. Good work!
Really nice story, music and graphics ! I made a bit of brute force on the end, but it was a really cool experience !
Yo, can you help me out, what should I do at this stage? I guess I tried to communicate with each of them, but still can't make progress.

Overall, good game! Comfy atmosphere and I also really enjoyed hearing their stories. Really want to finish it!
Thank you. If you enjoy this, please check out https://www.emindargame.com/. We can do a lot better with time and a budget.
Cool premise with an awesome setting - seems really ambitious! Unfortunately, I got stuck after getting the train ID badge. Seemed like some characters weren't responding to me showing them items. Enjoyed the part that I played though! Great music, funny dialogue, and cool art style.
Heya! I really like this one. Admittedly after the music bit I got pretty confused and lost on what to do. I wandered around and accidentally fell off the world in the far right corner haha. Regardless of all that, I really like what I did get to see. Very pretty art. Music was cute and the writing was really solid.
