Great game where you must escape from a train before it crashes.
It manages to create an immersive and tense experience by different means: animated backgrouds, tense music, timed events, etc.
I especially loved the CGA 4 color palette in first person perspective. The perspective and tension reminded me to the "Deja Vu" series.
The music is outstanding and varied and creates tension.
On the puzzles side, there is a bit of everything: some very well designed, and some that are a bit of trying things everywhere, but overall works well.
It feels like I'm back to the 80s except that I'm not dying every 2mn thanks to the option to disable timed puzzles.
The potential dead-end on the last puzzle is a reminder of the frustration with the old games and I wouldn't have finished without the excellent walkthrough.
Many thanks for this trip down memory lane.
The game is technically solid and visually impressive - especially for being CGA.
The constant animation of the backgrounds make it more dynamic than your average point and click.
The story doesn't take itself more seriously than an old James Bond movie. Crashing a whole train to get a necklace? It's enough to drive the plot forward but won't stay with me for long.
The puzzles are challenging but the restricted play area and low number of interactions keep it fair.
You really got those cga style graphics looking great! This was fast and frenetic, and I liked it a lot. Difficult, but logical and fair. Recommended!
Amazing artwork and puzzles super hard that makes you think fast and hard! Do you like challenges? Get the game and play it, you won't regret it!
