How AI is used
Less than 2% of what you see in Transit was made with the help of generative AI: a handful of textures and images, and two short video elements. Our team curated and reworked each of them before it went into the game, so they fit our vision for it. Everything else is made by people. Mr Sock is hand animated and voice acted, as is every other character you meet. The story, dialogue, characters, music and sound, and the rest of the art and animation were written, recorded and built by hand by our small team in Copenhagen over 4 years. No AI is used while you play: nothing is generated on your machine, and no voices are synthesised.

About Transit
Transit is a dark narrative adventure starring a sarcastic sock puppet in a world looping itself to death.
Ride dark metro lines through collapsing timelines, free traumatised souls, and search for your sister lost somewhere inside the loop. Experience a strange, raw journey filled with absurd humor, broken characters, and moments that make you laugh before they break your heart.
Beep. “If you’re hearing this, it already started.”
The year is 1994. The world isn’t ending. It’s looping itself to death.
You wake up beneath the Nordics, trapped in an eternal night of train stations, tunnels, and places that refuse to let go. Routes circle back. Conversations echo long after they should.
Your only guide is a sarcastic sock-puppet using your hand as a host. He jokes when things hurt. He talks when silence gets dangerous. You’re not sure if he’s helping.
Your Sister Is Missing
She left messages. Voicemails and tapes recorded too late at night.
She found a place she’d been drawing without knowing why. Now her voice keeps replaying — same fight, same words, same feeling. Everyone down here knows that feeling.
The loop remembers
Places change. People react differently. What you fix — and what you avoid — matters.
Progress doesn’t come from doing things right. It comes from listening. From helping someone finally let go.
As patterns repeat, the truth behind the loop begins to unravel.
Dark. Funny. Intimate.
When the world ends on repeat, laughter becomes a release. The journey swerves from quiet tenderness to sharp, uncomfortable comedy. Some moments refuse to let go.
Key Features

Final Message
The trains keep running.
The tape keeps rewinding.
Jo… don’t let them take me.
