Loco Motive

Robust Games, co-founded by brothers Adam and Joseph Riches, Robust Games’ debut was revealed today during Nintendo’s Indie World broadcast. Loco Motive tasks players with investigating the suspicious death of Lady Unterwald aboard the opulent 1930s steam train, the Reuss Express. Players will use the unique talents of a straitlaced lawyer, an amateur detective and an undercover agent at various points in the game as they progress their investigation.

Along the way, players will meet a fully voiced cast of quirky and memorable characters, solve satisfyingly head-scratching puzzles, and ultimately piece together the facts to prove their innocence. Figure out who committed the crime and what their motivation was that inspired them to murder! Loco Motive steamrolls onto PC and Nintendo Switch in Summer 2022.
