Press release:
Prague, June 23, 2021.
Following the success of “Rail Route“, the train dispatcher simulator game, at the Steam Next Festival, Bitrich.info is proud to announce that its game is entering early access on 23 June on Steam.

Rail Route is a tycoon/management game based on railroad dispatching. With a relaxed and easy-to-learn gameplay, build and control your railway network.

Expand, optimize and automate!
Take on new contracts and manage growing train traffic. Expand and optimize the rail network. Unlock new technologies, improve the infrastructures, monitor rail traffic screens, and make the right decisions. The further you develop your railway network, the more complex it will be to manage. Automation is a vital feature for all dispatchers to master.

Rail Route offers different game modes to test your skills solo or against other dispatchers, and to give free rein to your creativity in the creation (or reproduction) of railway networks

The Endless Map Mode

Manage ever-growing traffic of trains. Accept more contracts, add tracks, trains, stations, and upgrade your system through multiple technology trees. Think optimization and automation.

The Scored Map Mode

Ideal to challenge yourself and your friends. Check your skills in managing train timetables on a fixed map where trains and tracks do not change over time.

The Map Editor Mode

Create a map for either Map mode: Endless or Scored. Recreate your favorite junction, build your hometown from scratch or design a railroad of your own. You can then share your map through the steam workshop.
