About this gameFull description from Steam
Welcome aboard the Reuss Express, a journey of a life-time derailed by an unexpected assassination. 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… an adventure! Now stuck onboard a luxurious steam train, within stabbing distance of a cold-blooded killer, the race is on to prove their innocence once and for all! Play as Diana, Arthur and Herman to unwrap the mystery and put your point and click puzzle-solving skills to the test... Take control of three characters aboard a 1930s steam train, in an interlinking comedy adventure! Uncover a deadly mystery, full of twists, turns and slapstick humour Meet a train-full of quirky and somewhat suspicious fellow passengers Stop at nothing to solve item-based puzzles, that won’t leave you head-scratching for hours Choose how you play — enjoy full controller support with direct character control, or use mouse & keyboard for a classic experience Beautifully detailed pixel art  — bursting with charm and character! A little nudge in the right direction when needed - Telephone for assistance with an in-game hint call-line! An original soundtrack from composer Paul Zimmermann (Wildfrost, Space Haven) Full Voice Acting with an all-star cast! (Sean Chiplock, Kaitlyn Robrock, Samantha Béart, Jim Meskimen & More!)
