This game is really named "🌃 🚆", but I didn't want to risk entering that into the name field, so it's using the ASCII transcription - night_train. This was made for Mini Jam 68, which has a theme of "sleep" and a restriction of "no text."

I decided to follow a strict interpretation - the game includes no spoken narration either. Part of the idea is figuring out just what you're supposed to do, so... best of luck! There's a minimal tutorial included, but it's best if you just dive in.
