Developed by Robust Games · Published by Chucklefish
A wealthy heiress is murdered aboard the Reuss Express just before a major announcement, and three passengers are drawn into the case. Play as a lawyer, a crime novelist turned rookie detective, and an undercover spy as they try to prove their innocence and piece together what happened.
Explore the train, inspect objects and locations, question passengers, and follow dialogue to uncover leads. Collect items, combine them, and use them in the environment to complete story-driven puzzles and move events forward.
The story unfolds through the three characters’ interlinked viewpoints, with sections shifting between their perspectives. A telephone hint line offers help when you get stuck, and you can play with mouse and keyboard or direct character control.
In this helpfulness-selected sample, players often praise the detailed pixel art and animation, voice acting, and comedic dialogue, with several also enjoying the cast and shifting character viewpoints. Opinions on the puzzles are mixed: some find them satisfying and appreciate the in-game hint line, while others describe solutions or progression requirements as unintuitive. Some reviewers also wanted a stronger murder-mystery investigation or found the train setting and pacing repetitive.
On the eve of a landmark speech by the wealthy heiress Lady Unterwald, a straight-laced lawyer, a crime novelist-turned rookie detective, and an undercover spy find themselves embroiled in a murder, a mystery, and worst of all…
