Hi everyone!
Firstly, thank you to everyone who played Loco Motive during Steam Next Fest, and shared kind comments and feedback. It was amazing to see so many of you loving the voice acting too!
Which leaves us only one thing… the release! We’re pleased to announce that Loco Motive is officially pulling into the station on November 21st! Prepare your wits, sharpen your sleuthing skills, and pack your bags for a journey aboard the glamorous 1930s steam train, the Reuss Express 🚂☁️☁️
Loco Motive will be fully playable in English & German (with English voice acting), and yours for just $17.99 / 17,99€ / £14.99 and is coming to Steam, Nintendo Switch, GOG & STOVE. We’ll be pressing the big red ‘Out Now’ button on all platforms at 11:00 GMT / 12:00 CET / 03:00 PST / 06:00 EST.

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!
