Loco Motive gets PC and Switch Release Date

I love a good murder mystery. The best murder mysteries though are experiences that balance intrigue and mystery with a good bit of humor. It seems that later this month, PC and Nintendo Switch players are about to get something that fits that bill.

Publisher Chucklefish has just announced that Robust Games’ Loco Motive is coming to PC and Nintendo Switch on November 21^st. This release will have you investigating the death of an heiress, with amusing twists and turns along the way. Here is what the press release says about Loco Motive:

“An eccentric heiress has been murdered aboard the Reuss Express, and you’re the main suspects! Cut down in her prime at the tender age of 89 years old, Lady Unterwald of the Wald-Bahn Rail Company leaves behind a legacy, an empire and a whole lot of questions…

Loco Motive tasks players with proving their innocence after the untimely murder of Lady Unterwald aboard her very own Reuss Express. Using the distinctive talents of a strait-laced lawyer, a novelist-turned-amateur-detective, and an undercover agent as they attempt to absolve themselves.

Along the way, players will encounter a fully voiced cast of eccentric and memorable characters, solve satisfyingly challenging puzzles, and piece together clues to prove their innocence. Enact justice and uncover the culprit!

What’s more, when players get stuck, they can always give the Dirk Chiselton Hotline a call. Loco Motive features its own in-game tips hotline, gently guiding players towards solutions without any unwanted spoilers. Ring-a-ding-ding!”

Adam Riches, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Robust Games also commented on the release stating: “We’re thrilled to get Loco Motive into the hands of players! From the humble origins of a simple game jam to a fully-fledged adventure in its own right, the last few years have been a whirlwind.”

Joseph Riches, Technical Director and Co-Founder of Robust Games echoed his excitement, stating: “My brother and I always wanted to create something together, and we’re very grateful to have had that opportunity. Here was an unrelenting drive to make Loco Motive happen, and it’s our hope that players will see our passion and love for the genre reflected in this game.”

For the week of launch, Loco Motive will be 10% off, with the discount ending on November 27^th. I’m excited to see how Loco Motive turns out since it looks really entertaining. Hopefully, PC and Switch players will enjoy the comedic vibes of this express train mystery.
