Moses & Plato - Last Train to Clawville

Short story: I wish Steam had a neutral review option. Get this on sale if you just want a simple visual novel, not a truly interactive experience or a deep story. FULL REVIEW: Here we are again. After my glowing review of Chicken Police 1, my appreciation for the simple but fun gameplay of Zipp’s Café, and my less-than-positive feedback on Chicken Police 2, we return to Clawville—or at least to its legendary express train—in Moses & Plato: Last Train to Clawville. THE GOOD World-building We don’t stay in Clawville this time. The game shows us new parts of the world, and although it never explores them in much depth—we are mostly limited to stations where the train briefly stops—it is still nice to see how much love went into creating this universe. The lore remains genuinely interesting. The artwork The artwork and character designs are beautiful. Nothing more needs to be said. The voice acting The voice acting is lovely. The actors give it their all and truly bring the characters to life. The puzzles Although some players might dislike them, I enjoyed having to scratch my brain over some of the puzzles, especially since there wasn’t much other gameplay to engage with. T…

I try to keep this spoiler free. We finished the game a few days ago on stream and I want to say 'Thank you' to The Wild Gentleman. This game had everything you want if you play a good detective story. I personally like the artstyle very much, it adds really well to the whole setting, the music is also really good, the voice actors are really top notch and the story kept the whole stream on the edge of their seats. As we came to the grant finale people really asked me to take a break so they could go to the toilette and wouldn't miss a single moment. :3 The german (german player here) translation had a few minor hiccups here and there such as on one moment Plato uses a more personal form of 'you' as he speaks to Moses and the next he uses the formal version of 'you' still speaking to Moses. On one or two moments we experienced that the name over the text was (lets stick with Plato) 'Plato' but the voice-bit was spoken by someone else (in our case it was Ambassador Mujara who spoke) BUT....the whole package all together let us ignore or laugh over such minor bugs :3 I REALLY enjoyed this game and hope that Moses & Plato will really get more adventures as Lady Latuna hinted *winkwi…

It was good to spend time with Moses and Plato, who are well-written characters I got attached to quickly. The graphics are great, it feels all hand drawn and quite colorful after the "3D looking animals" from the Noir detective saga "Chicken Police". The characters animation was excellent, their voice acting was very good too. This story felt a little less brutal / serious than the other games, probably due to the art style. I wish there were more interactive objects and more interactive moments between characters, maybe even some meals shared or not according to the different characters' personalities. We needed more intrigue, more Hercule Poirot! Feeling like you get to know the characters a bit and live a normal daily life before any kind of drama happens would make it more interesting. Not a big fan of the "timed actions" type of investigations, I prefer classic point and click, however in that case it's a bit more linear, there are not a lot of choices for you to avoid missing out too much moving forward. It's almost more like an interactive visual novel, I like that genre too. The mini games were fun but sometimes didn't feel too challenging or just too vague. The concep…

Really great game, great graphics, great characters, great storyline. If I had to pick one thing I liked less, it would just be that some of the dialogue is unnecessarily long-winded.

fun mystery and also props for getting the characters voiced in a visual novel

I really never leave reviews on games but this was a really special game. The story,the the beautifull Stowonia, the characters it was all so detailed and really well made. You can tell the developers cared about this game it is so incridebly well made. I would definitely recommend this game to literally anyone :)
