In “The Story of Jozic” a free stand alone expansion from the developers behind Rail Route you will take on the role of an apprentice train dispatcher in the bustling city of Prague - design, construct and automate your own railway network in real time!
We did not update Rail Route: Story of Jozic for some time as we were focused on the new game elements in Rail Route. Now it is the time to catch up and showcase the new UI to all our players!
