Runaway Express Mystery is a decent HOG title and one of the earliest games coming from the relatively small Czech developer, Icarus Games. The game presents an interesting and well detailed supernatural storyline, ending up with a couple loose ends, convenient for developing future installation as series.

Overview
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.

Introduction Since I haven’t reviewed a fully fledged HOG (hidden object game) since Darkarta, I decided to dedicate several hours to this fascinating genre and write about it. Runaway Express Mystery has been around Steam for a few years already, yet it flew under my radar until several days ago. Developer Icarus Games has released two other Hidden...
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...
