"Train Station Renovation is coming out on Steam Early Access later this
week. If it sounds like the sort of game published by PlayWay, you are
correct, because it is. I was initially intrigued by it because train
simulation games and renovation simulation games are both quietly but
enduringly popular. The idea of a crossover between the two felt both
odd and necessary at the same time.

It is a game where you go to derelict train stations and un-derelict
them, picking up rubbish and replacing furniture and what have you. It
sounds quite boring, and honestly it sort of is, except it also sort of
isn’t. Having played the first couple of levels, I can confirm that
Train Station Renovation, far from being mundane, feels frankly bizarre.
It has left me with nothing but questions. And lots of screenshots of
sweet, sweet graffiti."

This seems like a game with a very niche audience, and yet…

Share and enjoy,
