11 itemsAbout the Game
World Railway is a simulation management game. Step into the role of a conductor and take charge of an aging train in dire need of restoration.
By farming crops, fishing, raising animals, and building versatile carriages, collaborate with the World Railway Bureau to breathe new life into this old train.
Embark on a round-the-world journey — earn wealth through management, forge bonds along the way, and venture farther to see the sights!
Train
After some initial work, you've freed up a few carriages on your train.
The space inside them is far more than you'd expect — you can set up production facilities, arrange seating in passenger cars, and even open for business in the dining car.
Stories unfold on the train every day. Meet travelers from all corners in the passenger carriages, listen to their stories, and uncover potential partnerships and business opportunities.
As you grow and expand your train, more carriages will await you to unlock and deploy!
Loop Line
As a conductor, you might not be content with just a few flower pots in the carriage for growing vegetables. Don't worry — many stations have farms where you can farm on a much larger scale.
But what if you're departing tomorrow? What happens to your crops?
No need to worry. Your train operates on a loop line. A few days later, when you come back around, your crops will be just about ready for harvest!
This unique system applies to pastures, fishery, and all kinds of production. Plan your route wisely, and let time become your best business partner.
Travel
As your train engine gets upgraded, more stations and loop lines will unlock, opening up broader horizons.
In spring, pick tea in the east. In summer, vacation by the sea. In autumn, cross the ocean to admire the maple leaves. In winter, head north for some ice fishing.
But keep in mind — some stations offer seasonal limited goods and festival events. Adjust your departure times flexibly so every stop brings a full load home.
Of course, taking it slow and lingering a while has its own charm too!
Business
The goods on your train offer handsome profits. As the operator of this train, how could you miss out on such opportunities?
Even if passengers aren't interested in your pitch for specialty local products, they'll still buy some instant noodles and snacks, right?
And that's not all — you can set up a convenience store carriage, a hotpot carriage, or even a club carriage. A wide variety of carriage types await you to unlock, and a blue ocean market of opportunities awaits your exploration!
