For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

So unfortunate title... I'll just say it out. Overall, I didn't like the game virtually at all. Teaser movie of this title is awesome and got me intrigued. There are indeed good and fun parts in the game, but this teaser, well here comes something you might have guessed. It takes a big bunch of the good stuff and bundles it in. Teaser honestly shows gameplay footage to the last 10mins of the game, seriously. And it wraps the best parts in one minute clip. Yeah that ain't good. Graphics and animations and art style is very good. Zero issues there. Music was ok too. Now voice acting was mostly awesome. However then like one of the main protagonists Herman... God awful and annoying. And here we got to the really bad parts of the game. Many of the characters are just there with good voice acting, but then like Herman. When character starts the very purposely made so-to-say comical and rhetorical "I'm the greatest detective ever" loud mouthing, game might give a small smirk. However when it goes balls to the walls and character honestly says something like this about 1000 times in the game. No it seriously isn't funny in the slightest. Quite the opposite and character is over acted every single second of the game. Then there's like twins that argue. They only argue on every scene. That's the gist of them. Then the plot and setting. It's quite bizarre. It's like there's effort to make background into, unfortunately, the annoying Herman character and there's like quite weird scene where you play Herman's background story of writing and that reflects like minute of gameplay and two very short item related "puzzles" in the train where most of the game happens. Then there's agent and her background isn't opened virtually at all, one of the actually interesting and better written characters. Game obviously takes references from old classics, but even then some of the references are weirdly off. There's like two second stealing of Full Throttle's theme music by Gone Jackals, kinda played lazily off note and and there's motorcycle. It's like 100% clear it is reference to Full Throttle, but during that I was like "Hmmm... that was it?" It's just simply off in some weird way. Then there's like almost two chapters lending from Day of the Tentacles portapotty idea. One chapter steals the idea 100% and relies only on that. But it continues on next chapter and relies on the same mechanic for some reason and much of its duration? Like mentioned in the beginning. Very unfortunate title. There's quite a lot of things that show so much promise, but then like simply plot and writing just ruins it. With good writing, it could've been new legendary 'Monkey Island', but with this level of writing. It's generic 6/10 and pass from me. Ie Thimbleweed Park makes the references absurdly much better and funny compared to this one. It kinda oozes that there were ideas, but they needed to be implemented and something needed to be mixed into to prolong experience. That something is what is missing and is the generic boring filler imho. Technical expertise is there, but humor isn't and it's bad for "humorous" game. But this _REALLY_ didn't click for me.

Amateurs de point & click, allez-y les yeux fermés. Tous les ingrédients sont là (humour, énigmes plus ou moins absurdes, superbe doublage et bande son) à la sauce moderne (hintline, fluidité, dialogues bien calibrés). J'espère vivement que l'on aura droit à une suite. Je n'ai qu'un reproche à faire : la répartition des différentes narrations. Vous incarnerez 3 personnages au cours du jeu ; j'ai trouvé la partie avec Herman un peu longue, tandis qu'il n'y a pas grand chose à faire avec Diana. C'est dommage, un meilleur équilibre aurait été bénéfique au jeu dans son ensemble.
It has been a really fun point&click game so far. The humor is great, the voice acting is super well done, and the whole mystery/crime story keep things interesting. I’m really enjoying the characters and the vibe of the game overall. Definitely recommend it! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
Great point & click game. Haven't played such a good one in many years. The acting, the scenes, the characters, the humor, all great. Hope they'll make other games too.
Троица, в составе которой присутствуют добрый бюрократ, агент по внеплану, а также отвергнутый писатель и детектив, пытается отжать наследство мёртвой старой карги у другой старой карги и её двух обалдуев.
Loco Motive is a point-and-click game done right. The murder on the Orient express vibes are very relevant throughout the game, and the game seems to blend critical thinking and witty humor together in a nice Mish mash that I can safely say is one of my most favorite games I’ve played this year. This game sat on my wish list for quite a while while it was in development, and I can tell it was made with love and care. I’ve been really impressed with the two hours. I’ve been playing so far. The gameplay is very immersive, it does have a lot of things right, even the music is pretty witty and catchy. I can’t wait to see how it The Good (+) Immersion. I actually feel like I’m on a murder mystery on a train. (+) Engaging characters. Every character with dialogue is fully voiced and feels like a part of the story, even if they aren’t a suspect. (+) The player character can run, big plus if you’re trying to get from one end of the train to the other. (+) The tutorial on how to play. The game is very engaging, supportive, and gives really good guidance on what you’re supposed to be doing (+) Some of the early puzzles are really clever. A nice blend of easy to medium in difficulty, but it really gets you thinking without being frustrated. The Meh (/) There is an endgame hint system that’s nice, but it doesn’t always hit the mark, I’ve found myself needing to use an online walk-through for one or two parts of the game. The Bad (-) As with all point and click adventure type games, there will be times where the clues just aren’t really enough. Thankfully, there’s very few moments like that in this game. I think I’ve only had to use a walk-through for one or two of the puzzles, but I’m trying to do the rest on my own cause I actually just really like this game. Overall, this is a very charming game, plenty of witty humor, fun characters, immersion, and I really look forward to future games like this title.
Not really, no
Not funny, just frustrating. Most puzzles aren't about logic or deduction — they're about guessing the developers' weird item combinations. Without a guide, you'll often get stuck simply because you didn't think the same stupid way they did.
Me encantaría que el juego este en español o subtitulado al español.
Good story! Good humor! (Arthur is my favorite!). The puzzles are well balanced and a the right level of challenging! I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Highly recommend.
