The Quiet Carriage: Mystery

March 1974. You wake in Compartment 7 of the night sleeper to Inverlochy. You do not remember boarding. The coat over you is not yours, and the ticket in your pocket has another man's name on it. Every compartment is empty. The beds have been slept in. The tea is still warm. The train has not stopped, and it is going faster. Someone else is aboard. You never see them. You only see where they have been: a case taken down from a rack while you were out of the room, a window wiped clear by a hand, a door you closed standing open behind you. The Quiet Carriage is a story-driven hidden object mystery. Work forward through the train, carriage by carriage, to the locomotive and the answer. SEARCH EVERY CARRIAGE Sleeping compartments, a restaurant car laid for breakfast, the guard's van, a frozen vestibule and the locomotive cab, all painted in rich, realistic detail. Zoom in for the smallest things. ROOMS THAT CHANGE BEHIND YOU Go back through the train and it will not be as you left it. There are no timers in this game. The tension comes from what has moved. RECONSTRUCT THE MANIFEST Pin tickets, labels, letters and keepsakes to the guard's notice board and connect them with red thread. Every connection you make fills in the passenger list, in the handwriting of whoever wrote it, until you know who was aboard, who left, and who should not have been there at all. PUZZLES, KEYS AND LOCKS Crack a steward's cash box, open a guard's padlock, match a ring of keys to their locks, and stop the train yourself. TWO ENDINGS Pull the emergency brake and be safe, or go on, to the front of the train, and find out the truth. A TRAIN FOR A SCORE There is no music in this game. The wheels over the rail joints are the score, and they speed up as the night goes on. PLAY YOUR WAY - Free, with no in-app purchases and no account.
