This is my "Beneath The Surface" Ludum Dare #29 48 hour compo entry.

+-----------------+
| Important Notes |
+-----------------+

Video: It's really best that you play this game in a 16:9 aspect ratio, ideally at 1280x720 or 1920x1080. It should work for all, but I have only tested these two.
Audio: 5.1 speakers or stereo headphones highly recommended.

| Story |
+-------+

You are Guertrouda Fyodorov, a Russian train attendant. A few days ago, you received a telegram from your son. He's in trouble with the authorities, as he failed to produce his renewed work visa while in Moscow.
You have his new papers in your cabin quarters, and you must get them to him before his trial, which is four days from now.

If he fails to present renewed papers at the trial, he will be imprisoned or perhaps even deported. You are stuck on the train as attendant, for three more nights. The train is a punishing job, due to the 
extreme standards held by the train inspectors. Punishment from train inspectors is not pleasant, and you've managed in the past. They usually kick you off the train and replace you with another attendant. 

But you must get back to Moscow to give your son his new papers. You have to keep the train clean, and the passengers quiet. After each leg of the journey, an inspector will board the train. If you missed
some cleaning, the windows and doors are open, benches are down, or the passengers are still being unruly, you will receive a penalty. Receive more than 10 penalties total during the trip to Moscow, and you will be removed from the train, and your son will be deported.

| Instructions |
+--------------+

Gruffness: You need to put on a gruff face to keep the passengers in line.
Fear: Your son is in trouble, and you are afraid you may never see him again. Keep your fear in check, or you won't be able to perform your job as attendant.
Penalty: The train inspector will inspect your train cars after each leg of the journey. You will be penalized for each mistake you make.

Managing Gruffness and Fear:

-If your fear gets too high, you won't be able to function, no matter how gruff you are.
-To reduce your fear, you can sip on some tea in your quarters, or sit on your stool and look out the window.
-In order to make the passengers quiet down and sleep, you must bang on the doors and shout at them. You must behave with extreme gruffness or they won't listen to you.
-If you are no longer coming across as gruff, return to your quarters and look at your family photo for a while. You can also sit on your stool and look out the window. Tea does not make you gruff.

+------------------+
| General Gameplay |
+------------------+

There are three legs to the journey. A timer will countdown the time left until the next stop.
The last minute of each leg of the trip is your last chance to clean things up before inspection. You must return to your quarters and close the door before the timer runs out or you will be removed from the train, regardless of how tidy your train cars are.
