Train of Thought – Murder on the Silver Line
Nominee of the Talent Award 2026
Description
In this narrative-driven murder mystery, players step into the role of Maeve Ashford, a renowned detective from London, during the golden age of luxury train travel.
While journeying aboard the prestigious Silver Line from Zurich to Budapest, Maeve finds herself among a collection of seemingly refined and respectable passengers. But the illusion of order is shattered after the train is forced to an abrupt halt.
As the lights flicker out and darkness shortly devours the carriages, a passenger is soon discovered dead, turning every traveler on board into a potential suspect. Trapped within the confines of the train, it falls to Maeve to uncover what happened and why.
Presented in an isometric perspective, players explore the interconnected carriages of the Silver Line, gathering clues, interrogating passengers and solving a variety of environmental and logic-based puzzles.
Central to the investigation is Maeve’s trusted suitcase, which contains her deduction board, a tool used to collect, connect and piece together the truth behind the murder.
