## One-sentence definition

Depovian is a free browser game where you work a Ukrainian railway station duty officer (DSP) shift: read the timetable, set interlocking routes, run shunting with brake shoes, and manage contact-network power on server-authoritative simulation.

## What makes it unique

1. **Dispatcher desk fantasy, not driving.**
2. **Localized interlocking feedback** (Ukrainian or English UI).
3. **Deep station craft** — shoes, shunt routes, holdings, pull-out.
4. **Electrification as gameplay** — KM sections and delayed power requests.
5. **Honest time pressure** — 1:1 clock, up to 90-minute shifts.
6. **Ranking integrity** — one live shift; DNF unranked; 50/30/20 scoring.
7. **Server authority** — Fair WebSocket simulation per player.
