Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is currently in development, with only a few maps available in the current demo version. We want to publish it in its current state to receive feedback and hopefully improve it further. However, it is already fully playable, with coming updates aiming more to provide additional content.
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“A few months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will feature:

- More city maps (from around the world)
- More player avatar appearances
- More background music tracks to choose from
- Mod support + map editor (so you can play and share your own maps)
- Linux + MacOS support (for now only Windows)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build has all gameplay features implemented, with additional work still being made on the creative front (maps, player avatars, soundtrack) to apply the finishing touches. The game already supports mods, but we're still testing it to make sure there are no errors. The map editor is under development and almost ready for release.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will have a demo version for free, and the full version priced similarly to during early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback is very welcome, both for unintended bugs, as well as suggestions on new maps and / or map layers. We look forward to hearing your thoughts!”

About This Game

Cold Transit is a peer-to-peer (P2P) multiplayer / singleplayer game of tag. Catch your friends in the public transport network, or try to escape in the maze of streets and connecting lines. 

The game is currently being developed, for now the following maps are available (with more to come):

  • Helsinki (Center)

  • Helsinki (Metropolitan Area)

  • The Nordic Countries

  • Cologne

Gameplay

  • As a Catcher, you must find the running player(s) by tracking them, as information about their movements are revealed to you. Every now and then, the Runners' current positions are revealed.

  • As a Runner, you must try to evade your captors by using every card at your disposal, and your wit. Use your stealthy options to sneak through the Catchers' grasp.

Multiplayer

The game is playable both with friends over peer-to-peer, or singleplayer against AI opponents. The P2P mode requires an online internet connection, and connects to our server to establish the initial connection between host and guest players, after that all network communication occurs only between the players.

NOTE! Players playing the demo version can play with players playing the full version, but will be limited to only the maps available in the demo, and a limited set of player avatars.

Joining / Creating a Game

Set your agent (player) name, and select your game mode:

  • Play Solo: singleplayer mode, play against the AI

  • Host Game: Create your own multiplayer game lobby, and share the access code with them

  • Join Game: Input the shared multiplayer access code to join another player's game lobby

In the lobby, set your appearance, and choose your role (Runner / Catcher). The host also adjusts the difficulty options for the session, before starting the game. Make sure to read the mission details to understand the game rules.

Playing the Game

After starting the game, each player takes their turn one at a time. To plan their moves, they have complete overview over the game board, and the tickets they currently possess to move around. To move between stations, players must choose to use an appropriate transport mode ticket, thus consuming it. The most recent player moves are displayed in the action log, allowing for the Catchers to determine the movements of the Runners. If a player runs out of tickets to move, they may use their turn to get a new set of tickets. The game ends once all Runners are caught (Catchers win), or the turn limit is reached (Runners win).

System Requirements

    Minimum:
    • OS: Windows 10 or above.
