Our take on Short Trip

The bounce point arrives when the route’s small scope becomes clear: the core activity remains driving, collecting cats, and dropping them off. Players seeking deeper systems may also hit a wall at the scheduled mode, where replay centers on reaching stations at the right times.

What is Short Trip?

Drive a tram across a hand-drawn mountain railway using the left and right keys.

Pick up and drop off cat passengers at stations as the journey progresses. The game presents a short, scenic route with a slow-play structure focused on a tranquil setting. A scheduled mode uses the computer’s clock to set a timetable, requiring the tram to reach stations at the appropriate times while building a high score. The artwork was created over five years and depicts windswept mountains, railway stations, cats, and the tram route.

How Short Trip plays

01Cat Passenger Routes: Transport cats between stations while driving the tram across the mountain railway.
02Clock-Based Timetable: Scheduled mode uses the computer’s clock to set arrival times and calculate a high score.
03Development Extras: The complete version includes a behind-the-scenes look at how the game was made.
