About the Game

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.

Features:

  • Follow the clues through a cursed train and save your children
  • Explore many unique locations and cities in a mysterious train
  • Discover what happened to the passengers who died throughout fifty years of history
  • Enjoy beautiful Hidden Object scenes
  • Solve many puzzling minigames

Game breaking glitch. (sigh, so sad) In all good conscious I can not recommend this game, unless the developers fix this game stopper. (There is a game fix listed in the discussions for good game hackers, unlike me who messed up my game so badly I had to erase everything and start over anyway.) Also unsure if it is my computer or the game but there are severely lagging areas. When Amanda first jumps on the train, and the background graphics are moving, everything lags severely. This lagging occurs anytime Amanda is outside the train while the train is moving. This glitch is avoidable so here it is where the glitch occurs for the intrepid or the just down right obstinate like me. The glitch occurs in Budapest as soon as the gamer opens the bank safe. Before you do anything, or even move, click on the vault and the gamer should get a photograph. If you do not get the photograph for criminal evidence you have encountered the glitch. Please understand this photograph occurs in t...

7 hours in and stuck with no other option than to restart. For a game with no save slots and no chance to backtrack, this is just unacceptable. Especially since the game tells me that I have everything I need to solve the case, but that's obviously not true as a quick Google search for others with the same problem showed. The graphics were really pretty and the story ok. The map has fast travel, which I loved. It's only my second Hidden Object Game, so I don't know what's "normal", but the HO scenes have silhouettes you have to find and you must often combine items (Need a zebra? Find a paintbrush, use it on a white horse ...). Having to find fingerprints and blood splatter in each scene with some crime kit was just plainly annoying and made me abuse the hint option. I played it in Dutch to learn and noticed that not everything was translated - probably the same for other languages. Overall, I liked the game, but I won't restart it and risk getting stuck again.

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!

I didn't experience any of the game-breaking bugs that others did, although it was a little laggy. I thought the story was decent, and the acting was good. I agree with others that the puzzles were a little on the simple side. It was entertaining though (I like HOG/point-and-click games and play quite a few).

Decent HOG, good (if not frequent) HOG scenes, but bad programming and/or sloppy testing: there are many game-breaking bugs. They seem to depend on the order you do things.

OK game but it is stuck at the "underground bank vault". Can't do anything even though it states there is a task. The help button says its not available.

I like hidden find games, my mother likes these games but this one isn't interesting. This is for people just getting into the hidden find and want something basic. The story is average, the puzzles are boring n simple. And sometimes you just question why do i have to use a handle bar instead of the flat head to open a crate. I didn't complete the playthough so it might get along the way. So i will recommend it, but it ain't worth full.
