Hi, we’re Adam and Joseph, the brotherly duo from Robust Games. Foregoing the usual sibling rivalry, we decided to work together on our debut title, Loco Motive🚂 - a comedy murder mystery inspired by classic point-and-click games we enjoyed when we were younger.
To add a little steam to our engine, we’ve collaborated with Chucklefish to help publish Loco Motive, and aim to release in Summer 2022 on PC and Nintendo Switch.
Here's the trailer we just dropped as part of Nintendo's Indie World Showcase - check it out:
Whassit about?
Set aboard a lavish 1930’s express train, Loco Motive follows three larger-than-life characters: a trusty lawyer⚖, an amateur detective🕵🏽♂️ and a suave super secret agent🍸, as they gather clues to solve the ominous murder of Lady Unterwald and prove their innocence.
