Route Zero
Core loop of every run
Step
Each run involves passengers waiting to board. Your job is to check them before the doors open, drive the route, and manage your sanity along the way.
- Check the queue look over every waiting passenger before allowing anyone on.
- Block anomalies refuse boarding to anyone showing suspicious behaviour or appearance.
- Drive the route head toward the destination once safe passengers are seated.
- Watch your sanity keep an eye on your sanity level throughout the journey.
- Use items consume items to restore sanity before it reaches a dangerous level.

Spotting anomalies in the crowd
TipsNot every passenger is what they seem. Clues come from how characters speak, how they act, and how they look. Because new monsters and characters appear across different routes, learning the patterns through repeated play helps.
- Listen closely to what each passenger says — contradictions in their words are a red flag.
- Watch for behaviour that does not match a normal traveller.
- Compare appearance against what a regular passenger looks like on that route.
- Replay routes you have already driven — patterns become clearer the second time through.
- Remember that the same character type can behave differently depending on which route you are on.
Sanity and item management
WarnYour sanity falls as the game progresses. If you ignore it long enough, you stop being the driver and become the very threat you were trying to stop. Items are what stand between you and that outcome.
Bus upgrades and route variety
SummaryYou can upgrade and manage your bus. A better bus makes difficult routes more manageable. Each route is its own experience — different characters, different anomalies, and different pieces of the Route Zero mystery.
- Upgrades improve your bus's performance to handle harder routes.
- Route selection try every available route, since each one holds unique characters and secrets.
