File this new game under “intriguing.” Robust Games and Chucklefish just announced Loco Motive during the Indie World Showcase with a trailer. A point-and-click comedy adventure, Loco Motive tasks you with investigating the suspicious death of Lady Unterwald aboard a train. The game promises a fully-voiced cast, ingenious puzzles, and an in-game hint line if you get stuck.
Loco Motive is making me nostalgic for those old Lucasarts games
Here’s the announcement trailer:
I love the art style and animation!
A bevy of features await players, including:
- A comedy adventure that hits like smooth jazz, set onboard a 1930s express train
- Take control of three playable characters, in an interlinking comedic adventure
- Uncover a deadly mystery, full of twists, turns and slapstick humour
- Meet a train-full of quirky and somewhat suspicious fellow passengers
- Stop at nothing to solve item-based puzzles, that won’t leave you head scratching for hours
- Choose how you play, by taking direct interactive character control, or opting for a classic point and click experience
- Beautifully detailed pixel art bursting with charm and character
- Need a little nudge in the right direction? Telephone for assistance with an in-game hint call-line!
- Fully voiced, with the slinky sounds of composer Paul Zimmerman (Space Haven)
Loco Motive will steam ahead onto Nintendo Switch Summer 2022.
