How it works

There are no picture files for the scenery: every building, tree and cloud is a short program that draws it as the train reaches it, and every journey picks its own stories. These pieces open up how.

  • Never the same hour twice

    Every journey is built as the train moves: the route, the towns, the weather, the hour of the day. No two houses are quite alike, and the stories land somewhere new each time.

  • Bring your own soundtrack

    Silent on purpose, and it never interrupts your audio. Play music or a podcast from any app and let the scenery roll. The screen stays on while it plays.

  • No ads, no account

    One purchase, no in-app purchases, nothing to sign up for. It scales to your device: denser towns and deeper forests where there's power to spare, smooth everywhere.
