Get Ready for the Intriguing Story of Loco Motive on Steam Deck

Loco Motive mystery point and click comedy adventure game is coming to Steam Deck and Linux via Windows PC. Developer Robust Games brings their creative touch to this adventure. Due to release on Steam, GOG, and Humble Store. Exciting news for anyone into quirky mysteries and classic point and click comedy adventure — Loco Motive. The latest from Robust Games and Chucklefish, is chugging onto Steam Deck (verified) and Linux (via Windows PC) on November 21st! If you’re a fan of comedy mysteries with a dash of retro charm, this release is going to be a blast. So, what’s the setup? Picture this: a ritzy 1930s express train, the Reuss Express, is rolling through Europe when the eccentric heiress. And as a result, Lady Unterwald, is now dead. She’s not just any passenger; she’s the head of the Wald-Bahn Rail Company. Now, at 89 years young, she’s cut down in her prime (as they say), and that leaves her empire, her fortune, and a ton of questions. You’re also one of the main suspects. In Loco Motive, you’ll be proving your innocence by switching between three unique characters. Such as a super serious lawyer, a novelist who’s got some amateur detective skills, and an undercover agent with a knack for getting into (and out of) sticky situations. Each of these characters has their own set of skills. This also comes in handy as you solve puzzles, hunt for clues, and, ultimately, try to clear your name.

Loco Motive - Release Date Trailer

The train’s packed with all sorts of quirky characters—suspicious passengers, each with a story and secrets of their own. And this isn’t just about unravelling the mystery; it’s full of comedy, sharp wit, and clever dialogue to keep things fun and light. Plus, it’s fully voice-acted by an all-star cast, adding that extra level of personality to every interaction. And if you ever hit a wall with a tricky puzzle? No problem! Loco Motive includes an in-game tip line called the Dirk Chiselton Hotline. Need a little push in the right direction? Just give the hotline a call, and you’ll get a hint—no big spoilers, just enough to keep you on track without taking away the satisfaction of solving it yourself.

Here’s a quick rundown of what this title brings to the table:

A 1930s mystery adventure that feels as smooth as jazz and as intriguing as a classic detective novel.

Three characters to play, each with their own strengths and perspectives, interlinking in a fun, comedic way.

Plenty of item-based puzzles that keep things challenging but not headache-inducing.

Beautiful pixel art that’s rich with detail and full of that vintage charm.

Full voice acting, so every character is as lively as the last.

Steam Deck verified, so you can take the mystery on the go.

Loco Motive point and click comedy adventure releases on November 21st for PC (Steam Deck Verified and Linux via Windows PC). Priced at $17.99 USD / £14.99 / €17.99. If you’re quick, there’s also a 10% launch week discount from November 21st - 27th, so you can hop on board early for less. Releasing on Steam, GOG (via UMU Launcher or Lutris), and Humble Store. If you’re ready to dive into a train full of laughs, mystery, and a whole lot of retro-style charm, Loco Motive should be right for you. Grab your ticket and get ready for a wild ride.

Every time. I update the sims on my ps5 and a new update comes out the day after. I don't have internet at home so usually I take it over to my friend's place every once in a while to connect to theirs and update everything. Almost every time I've done this a new sims update comes out immediately the day after I get home. Well, my friend is still in treatment so yesterday I took it over to g*mest*p and they graciously let me update it there on the counter, it was a slow day and I at least went through the motions of looking around at the merchandise. And like fucking clockwork they release an update today. And I can't text my friend so we can laugh together so I'm telling you

halpp im playing this game and ig theres like 2 gamemodes. and in the original one you r always a man but im playing the other newer one (which is harder mainlybc the wiki is entirely focused around the other one skull) and im a woman (bc u get to make yr own character). and one small thang that ig they didnt fully think abt is that i got my husband pregnant

I liked it when, in gen three, the other player character was your rival. I dont think Wally could've held the role of the main rival properly (Love the dork, but he works way better as a secondary rival)

I like gen fours inclusion of the extra player character as a lab assistant (it's a neat evolution/twist of may/Brendan being the professor's kid that chooses adventure)

Gen 6 had a lot of rivals, so i wish Serena/Calum weren't the main rival

like i do think it’s cute that the one you aren’t playing is story relevant, but i think it really hinders interesting storytelling when they’re the capital-r Rival bc you just can’t add that much backstory or make them mean or etc etc. i think we’re in a weird place where they really don’t have any idea what to do with the Rival trope anymore though so it’ll be interesting to see what permutation shows up in gen10.

i am tired of Chipper Girl Who Likes Pokémon Battles though. give me something more . i need a hater!!!!

regarding some of these "low-conflict" ttrpgs (and i'm not convinced people on this website or the dead bird site understand the term "low-conflict," given that it's an oddly-placed descriptor i've heard for wanderhome, chuubo's, stewpot, thirsty sword lesbians, under hollow hills, crescent moon, yazeba's, golden sky stories, etc.), another point i wanted to ask: are some of these games people are describing with this language maybe... for children?
