A one-thumb tactical survival game about keeping a haunted transit relay alive until dawn.
In development
You are the sole overnight Relay Keeper beneath a city that has forgotten its haunted transit network. Every night, anomalies ride the dead lines toward the Mothline relay: read their signatures, route the correct light frequency into each sector, and keep the last safe train moving until sunrise. The game combines the instant readability of a three-lane arcade defense with the resource judgment of a compact tactical game.

The core loop
Read lane, distance and signature, then select the matching filter (Signal, Ultraviolet or Thermal); decide whether to fire now or wait for the Perfect Zone; banish the threat to build combo and fill Dawn Surge; regenerate charge and reprioritize. Survive the escalating 75-second shift from 00:00 to 06:00, then take the score, rewards and an upgrade choice before starting a harder shift.
Features
- One-thumb controls: persistent filter selection, tap a sector to fire at the closest threat in that lane
- Three threat classes, three frequencies (Signal cyan, Ultraviolet magenta, Thermal amber) and three sectors, plus a miniboss
- Charge economy: 100 maximum charge, 8 per second passive regeneration, 14 per shot and 4 for an empty-sector shot
- Perfect Zone: the last 28% of a lane adds 75 base points before the combo multiplier and refunds charge
- Relay integrity of 5 with an immediate blackout at zero, and 250 score awarded per remaining integrity at dawn
Direction
‘Municipal midnight illuminated by impossible light.’ Surfaces are painted steel, cloudy safety glass, ceramic tile, stamped labels, paper timetables and repaired electronics — a functional late-20th-century transit control system that reveals supernatural geometry inside it, not generic cyberpunk.
Who it is for. Players who enjoy readable arcade mastery, light strategy, supernatural atmosphere and short repeatable sessions.
