Sweet Transit
The pitch
A train-led city builder where workers, passengers, raw materials, and finished goods all move through rail-centered supply chains.
How it plays
Sweet Transit treats trains as the backbone of society rather than a late-game transport option. Towns need stations, industries need inputs, workers need routes, and expansion depends on rail layouts that can move people and cargo reliably while production chains become more demanding. The game sits between city builder and railway logistics sim: settlement growth is tied directly to how well your network serves farms, mines, factories, and passenger needs. It is best for players who love trains as a central design constraint and enjoy the challenge of making rail infrastructure support an entire economy.
