Paris, July 24, 1914. We are excited to announce that Jordan Mechner's acclaimed real-time adventure The Last Express is now ready for testing in ScummVM!

Step into the shoes of Robert Cath, an American doctor on the run from murder charges, as he boards the legendary Orient Express for what would be its final journey before the outbreak of World War I.

What makes this adventure game truly unique is its time-based gameplay - the game takes place in real time, and characters move within the train following their own schedules, speaking in their native languages, and living their lives whether you're watching or not. But don't worry... you can always rewind time if you missed anything important!

To test this game, you'll need the original version of the game (either from the original hybrid DOS/Windows/Mac CDs or from GOG.com) and a daily development build of ScummVM. Please note that the Gold Edition available from Steam is NOT supported - only the original version is compatible at this time. The engine supports the following languages for the game: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. We couldn't locate the Japanese version at the moment, but please contact us if you have it!

Grab a daily build, have our testing guidelines handy, and get ready for an incredible journey through history, mystery, and one of the most innovative adventure games of the 1990s — and besides... the Orient Express is such a beautiful train, wouldn't you want to take some screenshots while you're there?

A deep, interactive adventure about love and loss, beautifully depicted and offering an intense cinematic experience. What would you do to save the one you love?

New Life, New City, Same Demons.

Escaping a troubled past, you have finally found some solace with a new life, in a new city. This comfort is shattered when a call from an old friend drags you back into a world that you had tried to leave behind. Amidst sinister corporate entities, dark conspiracies and clashing titans of industry, you find yourself centre stage in a plan of vengeance decades in the making. The promises of the future have been broken, humanity remains rooted in darkness. Yet all it takes is one spark, and you can change everything.

We are also still looking for a Lithuanian copy of the Little Longnose game (Nykštukas Nosis). If you have a copy or know where to obtain one, it would be greatly appreciated by the team.

Can you find a way out?

You find yourself in a strange room. There is a telephone, a mirror, a grandfather clock and some other odd objects you don’t recognise. It seems there is only one way to escape… become enlightened.

Samsara Room is a new atmospheric point-and-click adventure by the creators of Rusty Lake and Cube Escape series. This praised predecessor to the Rusty Lake universe is completely re-assembled with brand new puzzles, story, graphics and an immersive soundtrack by Victor Butzelaar.
