Two years on, the murder mystery aboard the Reuss Express is opening up to more players. Robust Games and Chucklefish have given Loco Motive a Hands On update built around touch play, new computer platforms and a first step toward phones.

Robust Games and Chucklefish announced the Hands On update for the multi award-winning point-and-click adventure Loco Motive, released to mark the game’s second anniversary.

The update adds full native touch screen controls for Steam Deck users, alongside the existing controller and mouse options, with switching between input methods on the fly. Loco Motive is now officially supported on Mac and Linux, opening the Reuss Express to players on those systems for the first time.

Korean language support is added, with localisation by Yeonjung Noh and the STOVE team. An iOS version is in development with a planned release in 2027, with further details to follow.

The game is 40% off on Steam until November 16. It is available in English, Korean and German on PC and Nintendo Switch for £14.99 / $17.99 / €17.99.

About the game: an heiress, Lady Unterwald of the Wald-Bahn Rail Company, has been murdered aboard the Reuss Express and the player characters are the main suspects. Players use a lawyer, a novelist-turned-amateur-detective and an undercover agent to solve puzzles, work through a fully voiced cast and prove their innocence, with the in-game Dirk Chiselton Hotline offering hints.

Robust Games is an independent UK studio founded in 2021 by brothers Adam and Joseph Riches. Loco Motive, first released in 2024, was nominated at the 2026 Independent Games Festival for Excellence in Visual Art, and the Hands On update gives its award-recognised world a wider audience two years after launch.

Humanity’s last hope is now a mission you can step inside. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is out now, a mixed-reality adventure that tells a previously untold chapter of Andy Weir’s bestselling sci-fi universe.

The immersive mixed reality experience launched on PICO, Android XR and Meta Quest 3/3S. It comes from Maze Theory, the award-winning London-based immersive entertainment studio behind Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.

Players step into the role of Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace and his friend and crewmate Rocky must work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home.

It is a story of trust and communication between species. As this mixed-reality experience blends your physical environment with the Hail Mary itself, players diagnose problems, improvise solutions and push the limits of science and engineering to keep the mission alive.

Along the way, players work alongside Rocky to keep the mission alive, diagnose failing systems and improvise scientific solutions, and manage their ship and its precious cargo as they travel through the stars — experiencing humanity’s last hope firsthand.
