My favorite game.
I love trains, especially the Orient Express. I’ve played this game too many times to count and I often use it as a reference for things regarding the political turmoil of World War I.

DOSBOX for Linux, come on...
I can't believe GoG is being so lazy as not to make proper Linux configurations for the DOSBOX games. Come on people, there are multiple Linux verions of DOSBOX, there is no excuse! Or at least let me just download the original CD iso's so I can mount them myself, these weird CD images can't be mounted on Linux's DOSBOX so I can't play these games. This is super lazy.

Are Games Art? Without doubt!
This game is without doubt one of the greatest, and underapreciated adventure titles of all time. Coming out in a time where the Journeyman project and Riven reigned supreme this game literally changed my expectations of games forever. Set in 1914 on the Orient Express, this game delivers one of the most complete, intricate story lines of any game. Whilst it may seem like quite a simple storyline by todays standards, the character development is at a level which goes almost unrivaled and gives you a genuine emotional connection to the other passengers on the train. The art style is unique, and consists of live motion film of actors rendered to appear as hand drawn. Unfortunately due to limitations of the time, these sequences are bridged by freeze frame sequences which can be somewhat jaring after one of the many amazing cutscenes or action sequences. The detail of the carriages is also worth noting, as the team found one of the few remaining carriages and painstakingly re-created it for the game. In summary, the story of this game is excellently told, reminisent of many books set in a similar time and place. The experience of the player sees you instantly thrown into a situation where you must keep your wits about you and make quick, concise decisions to proceed. Whilst there are many of these moments throughout the game, equally common are times where you are free to wander the train and learn about the stories unfolding for each of the many characters sharing this train ride to constantinople. This game answers the question of whether games can be considered art, and does so without ever straying far from being a fun, thrilling and enjoyable ride.

OK, but clunky and a bit annoying
A bit buggy, a bit repetitive, often you have no idea what you missed or did wrong and the sound is not great (and it doesn't have subtitles for English), so you miss some of the dialogue. Good story nonetheless, so worth a playthrough.

Not Great
The whole point of the game is to walk back and forth on the train until you are lucky enough to come across the right event/character to move on, with short breaks for solving not very interesting puzzles and performing not very responsive qte. There is very little interactivity, and it is often artificially limited by the developers. For example, making a dialog with passengers at your will will never work. The plot is incredibly hard to keep track of, they are immediately thrown in the face, the impression that you are watching a movie at the session of which is late for about 30 minutes, all the characters already know each other and the player them not, therefore no empathy. And finally, there is a terribly twitchy slideshow animation, which does not have a constant frame rate of the current position of the characters, and spoiling the cool style a la 20-fi century. All in all, its bad.
