Short Trip

A short, scenic railway for cats. Hand drawn over 5 years.

The cats living along the mountain railway have places to be. You, the sole cat operating the tram, have the delightful duty of transporting them.

A hand-drawn world five years in the making

Perfect if you need to relax

Short and sweet

Earn a high score in new scheduled mode

Short Trip is an interactive illustration created by me, Alexander Perrin. Use the left and right keys to drive a scenic tram across a tranquil hand-drawn mountainscape, picking up and dropping off cat passengers as you go.

Since the initial free launch, Short Trip has been enjoyed by millions of players. This complete version includes all the content of the original while adding a new “scheduled” mode that integrates your computer’s clock to create a tram timetable. Reach each station at the correct time and rack up a high score! I’ve also included a little peek behind the scenes at the development process for the curious.

This is a “slow play” game designed to help players relax and unwind from the bustle of the day. I hope you enjoy your trip.

About me I’m an Australia-based artist with a passion for meticulous dynamics, detailed digital rendering techniques, and cats (Short Trip is an expression of all three). I also make indie games as one half of 2pt Interactive.
