I love this game because I can reference it and it makes me sound cool and pretentious for liking an old obscure cult classic Scarab puzzle is still bullshit tho

To be honest, I dreaded playing "The Last Express" because I heard it's pretty hard and time-consuming, and I'm not sure whether the gameplay would be to my liking. But I gave it a shot finally. After 2,5 hours of playing, I had no idea what I was doing. My buddy got murdered on the train so I did the only sensible thing and took over his identity. This game feels a bit like "Cruise for a Corpse". I walked back and forth between the sleeping cars, tried to get into the compartments when the conductors coudn't see me. I kept a notebook handy, trying to keep track of who's who and where they sleep. I think I should have spended more time eavesdropping on conversations in the restaurant than trying to find items or clues. At that point, I hadn't used the rewind function so I guessed I would only have to do it in Constantinople when it became obvious how bad I played and how much I missed. I read this game requires multiple playthroughs to get the good ending, I was just hoping it wouldn't get boring that way. I was very surprised that I finished it in 6 hours time. I had to rewind a couple of times during the on-board concerto. I had a hard time finding the master key, and I died a couple of times because Kahina brained me, and also I accidentally blew up the train a couple of times. There's an in-game hint system that basically tells you where to go and what to do in the form of Robert's thoughts and I refrained from using it for the first half of the game, but it was too tempting for the second half. The game felt a lot like that movie "Source Code" for a bit, which is funny because Jake Gyllenhaal stars in that movie, and he also plays the "Prince of Persia". I just wasn't very good searching the cabins, or getting inside them to begin with. And at one time I couldn't even get out anymore (I got in through the window and wanted to leave that way too, but it turned out I just had to use the door. Go figure.) There's actually a lot to read in this game, and I always skimmed through the text fast because I was afraid a passenger would walk in on me. Which never happened, actually. And the infamous top-of-the-train fight kept me busy for a while, too. I also got a bad ending because I didn't acquire a certain item, so had to rewind again. But to be honest, the gameplay wasn't as difficult as I feared. Though I still felt there's a lot going on in that train I wasn't not aware of in a single playthrough. So I played through it a second time. Knowing what to do this time only saved me half an hour. I got a bunch of extra scenes and conversations, like dancing with August. I lost a lot of time waiting for Alexei to make his move. I don't know what I did the first time but there it happened sooner. It's a very intriguing game and I recommend it if you want to immerse yourself in an old world.

This is a captivating adventure game set aboard the (last) Orient Express in 1914, right before the First World War. Its real-time gameplay and rich narrative immerse players in a world of intrigue and espionage. While its unique mechanics may not appeal to everyone, its hand-drawn art style and engaging story make it a standout title in the point & click adventure genre. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3264975787 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3262227399
