Next Stop Tokyo

Drive a commuter train from Shinjuku to Tokyo through a detailed model of central Tokyo, and stop it at every platform yourself. Fifteen sights along the way, from Shinjuku Gyoen and the old castle moat to Tokyo Station's red-brick building, are named as you pass: tap Look to turn your view to one. The sights you pass are kept with a picture in your records, and the photo mode lets you pick the light, add fog and zoom from the cab. START WITH ONE STATION Run any stretch of the line, or practice a single stop from just before the platform. P to power, N to coast, B to brake. Driving hints tell you when to brake and how hard, the stop gauge's ▼ shows where you would stop as you are, and after each run you get one thing to try next. A demonstration run shows how it is done. INCIDENTS ON THE WAY A protection radio alarm, a platform's emergency stop button, a passenger taken ill, something caught in a door: answer quickly, as the rules say, for extra points, or the conductor pulls the emergency brake. The free stretch has the radio alarm only; the full version has all four. The settings can turn them off. FREE TO PLAY • Rapid service Shinjuku to Yotsuya, local service Shinjuku to Yoyogi • Stop practice at those stations, driving hints and the demonstration run • Morning, day, evening and night, rain, fog, cherry blossom, autumn leaves and snow • Today's run: a new stretch, time of day and weather every day on the free stretch, with a home and lock screen widget • Personal bests, achievements and your driver's license • Incidents (the radio alarm) and the year's end and New Year runs (Shinjuku to Yotsuya) • Two trial challenges LOOK BACK AT EVERY RUN After a run, the review shows each stretch's speed graph beside your best and where you began to brake. Your records keep each station's stops, your weakest station and a driver's grade that rises as you drive, from trainee to master; your driver's license card sums them up, ready to share. Challenges always run under the same conditions, with goals for the stopping position, the timing and the ride. ONE-TIME FULL VERSION An in-app purchase opens every stretch of both services from Shinjuku to Tokyo, the local back from Ochanomizu to Shinjuku, stop practice at every station, fourteen more challenges and the endless shuttle: precise stops at night, a long run in fog, two to four stations in a row, keeping time while reading the signals, answering incidents. No subscription. ENDLESS SHUTTLE Shinjuku to Tokyo, back to Shinjuku and on: keep the rapid going until your third mistake and chase a high score. Your five best are kept for each difficulty. YEAR'S END AND NEW YEAR Every year, Snowy year's end, an evening run in falling snow, comes December 26 to 31, and the First sunrise run leaves at dawn January 1 to 7. Each gives a souvenir ticket you can get only then. Free: Shinjuku to Yotsuya; full version: the whole rapid line. ADD-ON TRAINS (SOLD SEPARATELY) An imaginary steam locomotive, a slim high-speed train and a wooden electric car in the style of the Meiji era, for normal runs, stop practice, free runs and the endless shuttle. • An independent game made by one developer, not affiliated with any railway company or facility. The trains, their operation and the scenery are made for the game and differ from the real ones. Station, line and place names only show where the game is set; no railway company logos or real departure melodies are used. • Terrain and ground colors from the GSI tiles of the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, buildings from MLIT's Project PLATEAU 3D city models, tracks, roads and stations from © OpenStreetMap contributors, all processed for the game (details under Sources & credits in the settings). • Some stretches, such as the local service between Ochanomizu and Tokyo, are rearranged for the game. • In rain and snow the rails are slippery: the wheels can slide and spin. • Purchases and restoring them need a connection.
