Overcrowd: A Commute 'Em Up

Overcrowd: A Commute 'Em Up is a management simulation game where you design, build, and operate a subway station in the fictional Lubdon Town. 

Overview of Overcrowd: A Commute 'Em Up

Design and build the most efficient metro stations known to man! Excavate. Expand. Set staff priorities. And manage the commuter flow. Overcrowd is a 2.5D management/tycoon/simulator set below the bustling city of Lubdon Town.

Every day, millions crowd the metro in a desperate bid to get to work on time.

Challenges

• Design stations across various procedurally generated maps, ensuring replayability.
• Manage complex systems like waste disposal, power and heat, crowd control, and a dynamic in-station economy.
• Address unexpected events like rat infestations, sporting events causing passenger surges, vandalism, and even norovirus outbreaks.

Deep Systemic Gameplay

Don’t be fooled by the cute pixel art. Beneath the hood lies a deep, systems-based simulation encompassing refuse, power and heat management, crowd control, and a consumer-driven economy with stock and pricing.

Replayability

Design your stations across a series of procedurally generated maps. No game is the same. Build a single station or a whole network. A daily challenge means there is always a new station to build.

Spatial Design

Build your station 4 floors deep, using stairs, escalators, and lifts to connect entrances to tracks in the most efficient layouts you can devise. Control the direction of commuters using the innovative crowd flow mechanic.

Commuter Chaos

Contend with station-wide events from rat plagues to football matches. Watch out for vandals, hoodlums, and norovirus too.

Technology Procurement

Unlock the latest tech to pimp up your station! From turnstiles, tools, and ticket machines to pharmacies, pubs, ponds, and plants, make your commuters’ journey to work feel special.

Staff Management

Hire rookies and level them up, or splash out on a master mopper, medic, or mechanic. Use a job grid system to prioritize their tasks.
