Controls: WASD or arrow keys to move. E to interact and advance dialogue/other parts of the game. Mouse to select dialogue choices and for the minigames. ESC for settings.

IMPORTANT: If you get stuck on the second train, you need to go to the left of the great-grandma and wash your hands. After you've spoken to the great-grandpa, walk to the left until you see the task show up. To clarify, the handwashing minigame does not trigger until you've spoken to the great grandpa because he's the one who tells you to wash your hands. Another thing is you must advance through all the dialogue in one train cart before moving onto the next or else you may get soft locked.

You cannot advance to the next train car until you have completed all of the minigames and talked to all of the characters in the current train car.

For the deaf and hard of hearing community, our ending has voice acting but no readable dialogue. To access that, go here: https://imgur.com/VyzexIL (Spoilers)
