To all of you that have picked up Loco Motive at launch, thank you for playing!
In just a few days we became one of the highest rated new releases on Metacritic, and achieved the “Very Positive” rating on Steam! This kind of response really means the world to us!
We already picked up some glowing Steam reviews from you at launch:
“A true gem for point and click adventure lovers. From the art style to the story and voice acting, this game had me grinning from ear to ear and giggling at my desk. I am so happy I waited patiently for this! I highly recommend for fans of the genre - you won't be disappointed!” - André Conti “It's well written (actually funny and high quality writing) and the voice acting is top tier for the genre. The art and animations are stunning. The puzzles are good. It works great with mouse/kbd or a controller (I've played 100% with controller so far and it's a great implementation). The music is just fantastic. This has to be one of the top point and clicks in the last few years.” - GeorgeBroussard
And a number of great reviews from press outlets::
Try Hard Guides - 10/10
"With its beautiful pixel art, great humor, and outstanding voice acting, Loco Motive is a captivating blend of next-gen and yesteryear, taking everything we love about classic point-and-click adventures and giving it a fresh, modern spin."
Adventure Game Hotspot - 9.5/10
“Loco Motive is the full package. Grab a ticket, put on your thinking cap, and hop on the Reuss Express, as this is one of the finest cartoon point-and-click adventures ever created.”
GameLuster - 9/10
"Loco Motive is a worthy successor to the classic point-and-click pixel adventures, featuring a twisty mystery and a cast of memorable, hilarious characters."

The Road Ahead:
We've been keeping an eye on all of your feedback, and wanted to take a minute to share what we're working on these upcoming weeks.

Once we’ve addressed things that need our immediate attention, we will start looking at some further Quality Of Life features, but more on that to come!
