Control the railway. Read the paperwork. Decide which train gets the line.

EASTBOUND is a narrative logistics thriller set at a regional railway desk inside Nazi Germany between 1940 and 1945. Across 18 shifts, orders arrive, records conflict and the consequences of ordinary procedure become harder to ignore.

Each shift presents several linked train movements competing for limited track capacity. You are not dispatching one train per day: you are managing a live desk, comparing documents and deciding how the whole sequence moves.

AT THE DESK

• Route military, civilian, medical, repair and special transports.

• Inspect manifests, schedules, carbon copies and station reports.

• Delay, reroute or question orders when the paperwork gives you room.

• Carry the consequences of your decisions through reports, evidence and investigation.

• Complete an authored 18-shift campaign with conditional ending fragments.
