Empathy simulator.
<span class="bold">Mini Metro</span>, a brain-wracking metro simulator, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.
Sometimes, the most complicated things come in the simplest packages. Mini Metro, a strategy public-transit simulation, is a staple of simple brain-wracking glory.
In its simplicity, Mini Metro is beautiful and to the point - a simple map dotted with shapes and distinctly colored lines is something we've all seen before while traversing major cities, and it all evokes a very familiar sense of nervousness and confusion. Then, more stops, more people, begin to show up.
It's right about then that you should be hit with a sudden wave of empathy for both: the frustrated passengers waiting and changing lines, as well as the people tasked with the weight of figuring out and pleasing the flowing masses.
Despite being a relatively simplified simulation of real life mechanics, Mini Metro gives you a taste of the urgency and sophistication of transit planning. If you can figure it out and survive, you may just find yourself with a newfound understanding for that one really stupid transfer you have to make on your way to work.
Check out the developer's website for a playable taste of the full game.
