A jazz-laden graphic adventure with an accessible point-and-click interface featuring a quirky cast of characters on an express train during which the murder of a wealthy heiress takes place, Loco Motive is a very fun – and often funny – cartoonish adventure in the classic Lucasarts vein. With top quality voice acting, a glorious visual style, and a classy soundtrack, Loco Motive is a great modern take on a traditional formula that tastefully teases you through a twisting tale of tribulation and treachery whilst travelling on a train.
