Loco Motive: Game + Soundtrack, (v1.0)

Loco Motive invites players aboard the luxurious Reuss Express, a 1930s steam train where an unexpected assassination turns a routine journey into a thrilling mystery. Set against the backdrop of a lavish train ride, the story revolves around three unlikely characters—a meticulous lawyer, a crime novelist stepping into detective shoes, and a covert spy—who must work together to uncover the truth behind a deadly crime while proving their own innocence. The game blends a compelling narrative with humor and intrigue, offering a fresh take on the classic murder mystery adventure. Gameplay centers on point-and-click puzzle-solving as players switch between the three protagonists, each bringing unique perspectives to unravel the complex web of clues. The puzzles are designed to be engaging without becoming frustrating, supported by an in-game hint system accessible via a telephone feature. Players can choose their preferred control style, whether using a mouse and keyboard for a traditional experience or a controller for direct character movement. The game’s charm is enhanced by beautifully crafted pixel art that captures the era’s atmosphere, complemented by a rich original soundtrack from Paul Zimmermann and full voice acting from a talented cast. Loco Motive offers a blend of comedy, suspense, and classic adventure elements, making it an inviting choice for fans of story-driven puzzle games.
