Carlos:

The working day of a bus driver can be very entertaining and full of variety. This is where we have set the main focus.

A lively realization of the normal workday full of curious events. And you are the center of all the action!

With our very first release from the "World of Bus driver" series we will offer something COMPLETELY new for this genre.

May we introduce:

„Carlos“. A new member of the bus driver team, who just can´t wait to begin his service for the New York Bus Company. You will control your character „Carlos“via keyboard and mouse. Ego or Third Person view can be selected. „Carlos“is animated and comes with speech.

More fun-to-play in a simulation game :

The complete route incl. side streets can be explored from the very start of the game (with the exception of the tutorial). Go by bus or take a walk through this exciting city area!

• Turorial: Our virtual supervisor „Jack“will teach you in an interactive tutorial in how to drive a bus plus more important things. This is the right place to train your skills before you launch into your virtual life.
• Virtual World:In this game mode you can select tours and schedules at the terminal stops where you can take on your next task. Repeat this as often as you want. Stay in the virtual world while selecting the schedule without leaving the game. Day times and weather are dynamic. And of course, you can also explore the virtual world any time you want.
• Missions:In the „World of Bus driver“ series you´ll find many exciting missions incl. voice audio output, radio communication and real virtual colleagues who you can talk with. That’s what we call a „living simulation game“!
• Campaign:Our campaign is an exciting interactive crime story confronting you with many challenges. And guess who is playing the leading parts in this story … What do you think? Yes, right! Your character “Carlos” together with his colleagues. We are sure you will have lots of fun in this mode. Of course our simulation game comes out without any violence.
