I am about 40 minutes in and this is living up to the many good things I had read about it.

Loco Motive is high end pixel art of the 2D point and click murder most horrid variety. On a train of course, one chock full of quirky characters, inventory items begging to be taken and sultry jazz. Plus, other suitable sounds, and all of it voiced.

To date I have played one character, but will apparently get the chance to play three. I will tell you more about how that works in the full review.

It plays with the mouse and a minimal set of keyboard controls. Tab to highlight hotspots, use 'I' for inventory or click the icon bottom left, double click to run, tweak settings to suit. It autosaves regularly but you can save at will. Scenes can slide sideways (it's a long train) or be stylishly contained to what's on screen. You can even play noir style (black and white) should you wish.

It looks and feels good, and I look forward to the 10 hours or so that by most accounts awaits.


Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

Thanks flotsam (and Draclvr)!

Sounds good. I hope it stays that way. It's on my wishlist.
