Chill Train - Densha no kuni

Chill Train – Densha no kuni is a relaxed arcade-style train simulation developed and published by Judox Studio. It was released in May 2025 and so far has launched only on PC, available via digital storefronts. There are no known ports to other platforms at present, and no prior entries or prequels have been associated with the title.

The game casts the player as a regional train driver navigating the fictional “Shuppatsu-eki – Densha Terminal” line. Designed with simple and accessible controls, it invites players to focus on precision. Drivers must serve scheduled stops with care, managing speed restrictions, level crossings, and unexpected maintenance events. Gameplay includes 20 base routes that vary in length, number of stations, and weather conditions. Players are evaluated on their performance, with the coveted “S” rank rewarding meticulous play, and with enough dedication, a high-speed “Inazuma” train and dedicated routes become available.

While explicit influences aren’t confirmed, the game’s design evokes the spirit of lighthearted train arcade simulators that emphasize timing and route rhythm, rather than deep systems or complex logistics. Its brevity, emphasis on scoring, and urban-line aesthetic recall simpler train-driving experiences that blend arcade elements with atmospheric transit simulation, offering a cozy, approachable take on train operations.

Since its launch, Chill Train – Densha no kuni has received two user reviews on its main platform, both of which are positive, though there are no formal critic ratings yet. Judox Studio promoted the game around its release in May 2025, likely through social or community channels, though specific promotional campaigns remain limited. Overall reception appears modest yet favorable, particularly among players who appreciate chill, score-attack style train simulation without pressure or complexity.
