Loco Motive out on Nintendo Switch next week, new trailer

It’s been a few years since we first reported on Loco Motive, but the game just received a release date. Chucklefish and Robust Games will have it ready to go for Nintendo Switch on November 21, 2024.

Loco Motive, a point-and-click comedy adventure, was originally revealed for the platform at the very end of 2021. You may remember that it was planned for the following summer – but it’s clear that much more development time was needed.

Here’s some information about the project, courtesy of Chucklefish:

An eccentric heiress has been murdered aboard the Reuss Express, and you’re the main suspects! Cut down in her prime at the tender age of 89 years old, Lady Unterwald of the Wald-Bahn Rail Company leaves behind a legacy, an empire and a whole lot of questions…

Loco Motive tasks players with proving their innocence after the untimely murder of Lady Unterwald aboard her very own Reuss Express. Using the distinctive talents of a strait-laced lawyer, a novelist-turned-amateur-detective, and an undercover agent as they attempt to absolve themselves.

Along the way, players will encounter a fully voiced cast of eccentric and memorable characters, solve satisfyingly challenging puzzles, and piece together clues to prove their innocence. Enact justice and uncover the culprit!
