Author's Afterword

Hello everyone, I'm HAIM. I still handled all aspects of this game myself: artwork, music, script, and programming. With the goal of making this game accessible to everyone in the world without language barriers, I once again challenged myself to create a textless game.

I often dream about trains. I actually created the initial prototype for the game in May 2024. The antler-shaped character originated from an illustration I drew in April 2023, but I never fully grasped the story, so I shelved it. This year, I started organizing materials I'd taken in various locations over the past few years related to railways, and thus, this railway-themed game was born. The gameplay and narrative style are completely different from the initial prototype.

I first created numerous sketches in a picture book format to clarify the story, and then slowly began programming. The game is a hidden object puzzle game (relatively easy), using cutscenes for narration (no text descriptions).

The game's OST consists of over a dozen new tracks I composed this year, emphasizing melody and completeness; it's listenable like an album.

The game doesn't have many special effects. I developed it on a laptop I bought seven years ago. Like my previous works, the game's atmosphere has a touch of melancholy, which might be too somber for those seeking excitement and thrills.
