Press release:
Prague, Czech Republic –February 22, 2024.
The Prague-based (Czech Republic) indie games developer Bitrich.info, are today very happy and proud to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their train-themed management/tycoon/puzzle game “Rail Route”, is now available for PC via Steam.

Furthermore, a special Soundtrack and Music Player DLC will also be released to celebrate the transition.

Initially released in Early Access on Steam in June 2021, it now boasts a 91% Very Positive review score on Steam. Rail Routes’ vibrant community on Discord is another testament to the love for train dispatching. Over 9000 members are engaged in discussions on updates, providing feedback, or sharing over 2000 community-created maps.

“Taking Rail Route through early access together with our dedicated community has been a true joy. We’re proud to finally transition to 1.0, not many games leave early access and for us, it has been the biggest milestone. After this release, we, however, hope to continue serving our players with high-quality content and improvements on this ride, (hopefully) without an end station,” said Zdenek Dolezal, Executive Producer on Rail Route.

Rail Route is a simulation game that enables players to realize their dream of creating a railway network, gradually expanding and witnessing its evolution while mastering automation for seamless operation, ultimately achieving mastery over their created world.

The game’s design combines simplicity with authenticity, offering an intuitive interface reminiscent of a train dispatcher’s screen yet concealing a world of intricate mechanics that unfold with each station and contract added.

In Rail Route, players dictate their network’s evolution, starting from scratch and unlocking resources to construct their ideal rail system. They can enjoy the gratification of meticulous scheduling or face intense, time-sensitive challenges, showcasing their strategic prowess and adaptability.
