About Runaway Express Mystery
A young mother's attending a train exhibition with her children, when something strange happens; the legendary Runaway Express starts moving while her children are still on board. Frightened, she jumps on the train and finds it full of unusual passengers--the ghosts of people who died on the Runaway Express over the 50 years it ran between Paris and Istanbul. Each ghost is a victim, his or her mysterious demise never fully investigated. These lost souls are cursed to ride the train until someone has the courage to go back in time and reveal the truth about their deaths.
Do you dare to break the curse? Will you uncover the mysteries and free the souls? Do you have what it takes to face and defeat the terrible masked Engineer and if you do, what price will you have to pay? Jump on the Runaway Express and find out.

A decent hidden object game. Works fine on Linux with Proton (Proton 4.11-10).2 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/fCYY7dKEPtE Attempting to do it all in one game the narrative falls apart as it struggles to keep focus across rescuing child, solving ghost crimes, and escaping a haunted train.1 found this helpful
It was a nice game, but their was a couple glitches but i saved exited re-entered the game it was fine it also won't let you collect things early so have patients but it was still a very enjoyable game.
Compared to the plethora of hidden-object games published by publishers such as "AM," this felt more like an actual casual adventure/mystery with a few puzzles mixed in, including HOGs. Genuinely entertaining, though quite short (~2hr) with its plot feeling more rushed that usual in an HOG with an abrupt ending. Probably the most silly moment is the puzzle battle to beat the final "boss" though the same silly ending puzzle mechanic has been in many other games like this.
Didn't expect much for the price, but better than anticipated. Some decent puzzles and a unique hidden object style.
Pretty fun game. The protagonist was very funny - completely unfazed by the supernatural stuff but in a way that was more amusing than weird or offputting. The mystery itself was a bit less fun in the "final showdown", but along the way, it was a really cool little whodunnit!
