About Overcrowd: A Commute 'Em Up
Overcrowd puts you in charge of an underground station. You dig platforms and corridors up to four floors deep, place stairs, escalators and lifts, staff the station and keep commuters flowing while running a small economy of shops and services.
Its Commute of the Day mode gives you a new station to build each day, on a randomly generated map unique to that day, with a set of objectives such as building platforms and entrances and meeting footfall targets. It is known as a hard mode, and few players complete it.
Overcrowd: A Commute 'Em Up is a paid Windows game on Steam, made and published by SquarePlay Games and released in October 2020. It can be played in twelve languages, English among them. Its last content update was the anniversary patch of October 2021, and the studio has since moved on to new games.
