Our take on Runaway Express Mystery
The bounce point arrives when progress shifts from the ghostly train mystery into hidden-object scenes and puzzle minigames. Players who want direct action or combat may stop there, since the core investigation advances through item-finding and puzzle-solving rather than fights.
