During Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase yesterday, a slew of great upcoming games were revealed and given the floor to show their growth. Among those titles was Chucklefish and Robust Games’ point-and-click mystery title, Loco Motive.
Set in the 1930s, players will board the Reuss Express and investigate the murder of Lady Unterwald. Players will take over three distinct characters over the duration of the game as they try and find out who the real killer is, all while trying to clear their own names.
The game features a fully-voiced cast of characters that offer quirky and enjoyable moments as players solve head-scratching puzzles and find the answers to the secrets of this heinous crime. And if you get stuck, there’s no need to worry as the game also includes a nod to the 90s with an actual hints and tips line.
