Loco Motive is a comedy point-and-click adventure, bringing a modernised twist to the beloved genre with captivating puzzles and an all-star fully voice acted cast of colourful characters. If you love a compelling murder mystery with an off-the-wall sense of humour, Loco Motive is your ticket to a world of adventure!
What’s in Store on the Reuss Express?🚂
Loco Motive takes players into the heart of a murder mystery, putting you in control of three unique characters! You’ll play as Arthur Ackerman, a bumbling, heart-of-gold lawyer, Diana Osterhagen, ambitious secret agent, and Herman Merman – a self professed ‘detective extraordinaire’!
As a nod to the late, great Agatha Christie and other classic mysteries, Loco Motive fills every carriage and corridor with interest & intrigue, interjected with a good dose of humour and mischief to spice things up! Solve item-based puzzles, uncover shocking secrets (some soup-related, some not), and get ready to suspect everyone… maybe even yourself?
You might even learn a thing or two, like how to cheat at roulette, or fuel a motorbike with pencil lead - you know, all the good stuff!
