What is Loco Motive?
Set aboard the 1930s Reuss Express, Loco Motive begins with the murder of the 89-year-old heiress Lady Unterwald of the Wald-Bahn Rail Company. Players control three suspects, a lawyer, a novelist-turned-amateur-detective and an undercover agent, as they solve item-based puzzles and gather clues to prove their innocence. Point-and-click adventures are played by selecting items and characters on screen to progress the story.
Chucklefish says the game has a fully voiced cast and an in-game hint line, the Dirk Chiselton Hotline, which nudges players toward solutions without spoilers. The release also says it is Steam Deck verified with touch support.
