Beneath the Nordics lies a metro system caught between life and death. Stations shift between past and present, lost souls endlessly relive their traumas, and forgotten memories surface across repeating routes.
But it’s made palatable by a talkative sock puppet acting as one of the most unconventional companions gaming has possibly ever seen. So put a sock in it, and see how you can conquer the loop in Transit.
