About ODEZIE
Your rail company. Real tracks.
ODEZIE is a management simulation for anyone who wants to plan a railway, not just ride it. Found a train operating company, buy trains and build a network of regional and long-distance lines – not on a fantasy map, but on Germany's real railway network, built from OpenStreetMap data.
Plan your routes
- Pick origin, destination and stops from more than 3,500 stations and halts
- Every route is calculated over real tracks, including platform choice
- Electric or diesel: electric trains need overhead wire, diesel trains go anywhere
- Track-access charges depend on line speed – the fastest line isn't always the best
Timetables and rotations
- Build regular-interval timetables and create the return direction with one click
- Group trains and let ODEZIE distribute trips across your fleet
- Empty runs to the next service are planned automatically
- Follow every train live on the map: if a platform is occupied, it waits or switches track
Staff
- Hire train crews and plan duties for every day of the week
- No driver, no train: the trip is cancelled and tickets are refunded
Finances
- Ticket revenue versus track access, energy, station fees and salaries
- Reports for every timetable and every day
- Trains wear out with every kilometre – buy, operate, sell
- Choose your difficulty when you start a new game
Early Access
ODEZIE is developed together with its community. Planned additions include leasing and loans, economic cycles and energy prices, demand by time of day, holidays and season, operational disruptions, train compositions from locomotives and coaches, workshop visits, and staff experience and promotions. Freight and other European countries will follow after version 1.0.
