December 10th, 2024 - Today at the Wholesome Snack: The Game Awards Edition, developer Green Tile Digital revealed its brand-new title Locomoto, an enchanting life simulation adventure that captures the timeless romance of travelling on a train. Set to release on PC in 2025, Locomoto invites players to craft a world of connection and creativity as they become the conductor of their own dream train.

Developed by Green Tile Digital, Locomoto transforms the traditional concept of riding a train into a heartwarming life-sim adventure where every station brings new stories and every passenger adds character to players’ ever-evolving railway home.

In Locomoto, players embark on their journey with a modest train that serves as a blank canvas for creativity and expression on the backdrop of a warm, lo-fi world full of life. Key gameplay features of the game include:

• Crafting a Dream Train, where each wagon can be transformed using furniture crafted from resources discovered and earned throughout players’ travels. Splash colours, select styles and create specialised spaces from cosy lounge cars to elegant dining carriages; all immersing players in the fantasy of owning and operating their very own train.

• Reconnecting a World through meeting and interacting with the locals as players travel between towns and reach new destinations. Tending to the needs of the passengers that board the train will uncover their stories that expand the vibrant, lo-fi world, and as more stations become available these stories will unravel into a rich tapestry of fates and aspirations.
  
  
• A Relaxing Blend as Locomoto seamlessly mixes train management, crafting and relationship building, sprinkling the unique magic of train travel on top. The world is filled with resources to gather and transform into furniture, decorations and essential items through intuitive crafting menus. Each completed quest unlocks new items and blueprints, and advances the story forward.

• Lo-Fi Vibes & Big Feels as Locomoto’s attention to detail shines through, whether it’s the carefully crafted lo-fi soundtrack accompanying every journey or a dynamic day/night cycle to create ever-changing moods. Locomoto welcomes players of all experience levels and encourages progression at one’s own pace, and with no fail states, players can enjoy a stress-free environment that encourages experimentation and personal expression

"Locomoto was born out of our love of those special moments that make train journeys magical," said Ben Clarke, CEO at Green Tile Digital. "We wanted to create more than just another life sim game – we wanted to capture that unique feeling of possibility and connection that comes from sharing a journey with others."

Locomoto is currently in development for PC with a planned release in Spring 2025. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam. For more information about Locomoto, players can join the community on Discord. Assets can be found in the press kit here.
