Mystery Trackers: Train to Hellswich Collector's Edition

Being in a train can be a great adventure for some, but it can also be a hellish experience for others. Traveling for a few hours or even days in a small compartment is not exactly pleasant for those who suffer from claustrophobia, but things can get even worse. Hence, there’s always the thought of being in an accident, or various other nightmarish scenarios that could take place while the train is moving and there’s no way out.

Mystery Trackers: Train to Hellswich is a hidden object adventure game that’s part of the popular Mystery Trackers series and presents you with a new episode full of drama and suspense. However, don’t expect any major changes in the gameplay department, or actually any changes at all. Hence, it should be easy to start playing right away if you are familiar with the genre and with the previous episode.

The story starts with the detective going on vacation after a couple of tough cases, because he deserves a bit of relaxation. However, his train is hijacked by a couple of hooded creatures that do not appear to be human, which is how another urgent case starts into the detective’s lap. Obviously, you must find out what these creatures are and how to save the people from the train.

Your job as a detective is to examine every clue left behind by the hijackers and try to find your way toward the truth. As such, you have to pay attention to every location you visit and spot every useful item, as well as tackle various puzzles that block your access to containers or the next room. It’s the same routine as in every other HOPA out there, so there are no surprises here.

Thankfully, at least the puzzles seem to be a tad new, even if the concepts and the mechanics do not differ from what you might have seen in other games. Most of them challenge you to find a specific pattern, while others require some missing parts before they can be solved. It’s a pretty repetitive process, but then again that’s the whole point of hidden object flicks.

Mystery Trackers: Train to Hellswich won’t change your life in any way, but it can fill a few afternoons and provide you with a bit of fun when you need something engaging to take your mind off things. On top of that, the puzzles can put you to the test every now and again as well.
