If you too know this pain, thisanguish, maybe check outLoco Motive. It’s out today, and is a comedy murder mystery set aboard a 1930s express train, with three playable characters. It looks and sounds like one of the old LucasArts point-and-clickers (with the option of direct character control), featuring gorgeous animated sprites and some nicely overblown voice-acting. Possibly best of all, it’s billed as an item-combining puzzler “that won’t leave you head-scratching for hours”. I hate scratching my head for hours! How do you think I got this hairline? Anyway, all aboard the trai(n)ler!
