Tracks - The Train Set Game is a wonderfully peaceful and soothing game

I was looking for a mellow game after a stressful workday yesterday, and saw a splash banner for this game. Decided to give it a try, and I'm so happy I did.

The game feels like a warm conforming hug. Relaxing piano music mixed with no-stress gameplay and charming minimalist visuals. I technically "beat" the game (i.e. 100% GS in about an hour), but I could see myself going back to it anytime I need to switch off and just chill.

[TOMT][BOOK] Fictional book, possibly YA, The protagonist was a teenage girl, maybe around 14 or 15? The story was set in this city on the clouds, and had a train. The girl had an older brother, who jumped off the train tracks to get off the city .

The older brother tried to commit suicide by jumping off the train tracks off the cloud city (I think it had an electrified fence so people wouldn’t do this, but he found a way to go through or something), I think he did this at least two times, and was dead or gone by the second time because I can’t remember him talking to his sister at all. I don't think his intention was to die but to get out of the city by jumping. The protagonist girl mentions that her brother was a part of this support group for people who tried to jump, I think there was a term for this that was used to classify them? It might have been something stupid like β€œJumpers”.

There was an investigation into what happened with her brother because jumping was illegal or something and they wanted to make sure she wouldn't do it as well/knew why he did it. I think the law enforcement people say its because they don't want people to get hurt but it's sort of implied that they don't want people to leave/ escape the cloud city. The support group people believed there was another world outside on the other side of the train tracks, off of the clouds but they just don’t know how to get there.

The girl gets a little shunned at school for having a brother who jumped over the train tracks. There’s a part I think where someone else jumps over the tracks, possibly a couple (girl and boy) try to jump but the girl dies and the boy goes back to school and the protagonist tries to talk to him about it because she’s trying to figure out something, I think a mysterious character sent her messages about her brother. There's a scene where she escapes through the bathroom window to get away from someone.

The protagonist meets this old man some time in the story who might be a mechanic or just a genius, who is building a spaceship or something so they can get off the cloud city thing. I think the old man was a teacher to the prince who either ran away with the old man or was broken out of the palace to go to the old man so he can also get on the spaceship. There might have been a heist to get the prince out. The heist wasn't a big part of the book.

The only super solid info I am 100% sure I remember correctly is at the end of the book they all escape by the finally finished spaceship and they land by an asphalt road and a stop sign gets described like you would describe it if you’ve never seen one before, ex. β€œa red octagon on a metal pole, with white lettering” giving an end-of-book twist that they ma
