This is a very brief game with lovely art.
You are a noise conductor on a mouse train. On each screen, you progress by clicking the train button at the bottom, which gives a satisfying animation with acceleration.
The story is simple and linear, but I was intrigued by the station list and the restart button. The restart button let me play again and I realized that everything was different. I played for a while and tried to imagine explanations for what was going on, especially given the list of stations, and that was fun.
Compared to the other games I have tried in this universe, this one seems much more linear. As far as I can tell, there's just one button you press, which brings you down the different stops, with commentary and writing I won't spoil here, until you reach the end and the credits show.
That said, the art is still pretty nice and the writing does have the usual charm of the other games in the series. There appears to be some RNG, so each playthrough will be different, but I couldn't find any other choices besides going down the railroad. All in all, still good for a light read.

There is an unusually large amount of surreal games on trains (maybe from the Dark Tower?). Here are the ones I can find.
