About Remains on the bus

EVERY PASSENGER COULD BE A SHAPESHIFTER

You drive a bus through an isolated town where monsters hide among ordinary people.

Before letting someone aboard, inspect them carefully.

A passenger might look perfectly normal, but something could be wrong.

FIND THE SHAPESHIFTER:

  • Inspect every passenger Check their temperature, appearance, and body with an X-ray.
  • Ask questions Some shapeshifters know how to imitate humans. Others don't.
  • Decide who gets on your bus One wrong decision can put everyone aboard in danger.
  • Deal with the consequences Passengers can disappear, die, or reveal something much worse.
  • Upgrade your bus Earn money during your routes and unlock better equipment and vehicles.

DRIVE AND UPGRADE

Once you've decided who's safe, drive passengers to their destinations.

Manage your route, collect fares, and keep your bus running. With each ride, you will earn a percentage of the ticket price. With that money, you can upgrade your bus or buy a new one with better seats and an engine.
