Game of the Day: Loco Motive – a light detective game with lively humor and pixelated graphics

Over the next couple of weeks I'll be playing and talking about STALKER 2, but if your PC doesn't support the game or you have a Steam Deck, you should look to other versions. For example, Loco Motive.

Here's what we know

Crazy Mo tive is a 2D pixelated quest. On the eve of a historic speech by a wealthy heiress, Lady Unterwald, an honest lawyer, a rookie detective and an undercover spy find themselves involved in a mysterious murder. They are now stuck on a luxury train and must prove their innocence.

We will therefore play 3 heroes, solving puzzles in search of proof of their innocence.

Game Features:

• A comical adventure aboard a 1930s high-speed train.
• Control three characters
• Discover a deadly mystery full of surprises, twists and silly humor.
• Meet a train full of eccentric and somewhat suspicious fellow travelers.
• Superbly detailed pixel animation

The game has a free demo version and is fully compatible with Steam Deck, making it easy for you to play it on a real train.

Where to play

The game is available on PC on Steam and on Nintendo Switch for $16.
