'Round the Valley
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Pitch
Long after the drought of esborium, a mineral with many use cases, the Esbor valley has lost a bit of its prime. Amina, the last train driver around, has been thinking about leaving the valley lately. Maybe listening to what her passengers say will influence her on finally making her mind.
'Round the Valley is a narrative-focused train driving game. Drive the train through the valley and listen to your passengers' stories.
Controls
'Round the Valley was built with an alternative controller in mind. Theoretically, you could build your own with an Arduino, an IR sensor, 4 buttons, and our code. But the easier solution for everyone is to plug any regular controller/keyboard in, or to use a Steam Deck.

I really like the stylized look of the game. So cozy and relaxing as others have said. This game took my mind off of all my problems... Thanks for making this!
The art is great and the story really cute, I really liked it !
so cozy so relaxing
but i do find myself wanting to tweak the camera a bit (rotate & zoom in/out) with the mouse at times
thanks for making
Great game, nice work !
it's like the trolley problem but instead of murdering people you get to hear them tell you that happiness is always possible.
