Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville is a 2026 point-and-click adventure and visual novel game developed by The Wild Gentlemen and to be released by Toge Productions.
The Premise of Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville
In Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville, we are on board the Clawville express, investigating the murder of an ambassador, all the while being the main suspects. We play as Moses and Plato, two clueless detectives, investigating a murder mystery on the famous luxury train, the Clawville Express.
The Gameplay of Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville
Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville is part visual novel, part classic point-and-click adventure. We have dialogue-heavy portions of the game interrupted by point-and-click scene investigation.
The visual novel part of the game has all the usual attributes – pause and fast forward buttons, as well as history, allowing us to see the conversation thus far. Hovering over a character displays an exclamation mark if new topics of conversation or interrogation are available. Clicking on a character gives us the options to make an observation about the character, converse with them, or, in a separate option, question them. A yellow dot might appear next to a category if new topics are available. When questioning a character, we get a score of up to five stars, depending on how well we’ve managed. We can reply to the questioning if we wish.
For investigation, we have highlighted items we can click to make observations. We can also collect items for our inventory and view them later. Like other detectives, Moses has something of a “Mind Palace” – a “Mind Garden”. It is easily accessible by clicking the brain in the upper-right corner of the screen. There, inside the garden, we have statues for each part of the investigations – characters list, codex, connections, facts, and clues.
The character list and the codex are updated with each character we meet, and as we gather more information about the world of Moses and Plato. The facts and clues show us important questions about the investigation and the information we’ve gathered so far. It is a helpful clue that shows how many pieces of relevant information we still need to gather. The connections show all the characters we’ve met so far, let us connect them, and help us see who’s who on board and in relation to the case.
Besides the Mind Garden, in the top-right corner of the screen, we also have a watch face, the inventory, and the map. The map shows the length of each train and the available locations on each train cart. We can, of course, walk from one side of the train to the other, but at some point, the quick travel is much more appreciated. Other point-and-click adventures set on a train rarely have quick travel options while still on the train, so that’s a big plus in this case.
An interesting game mechanic is Moses’ animal senses. He is a detective, but also a fox. As such, he can smell, hear, and see much better than some of the other characters. Those senses aren’t always available, but when talking to other characters, we can sometimes use them. When questioning a witness, the sense of hearing will tell us whether the witness is calm or nervous, and so on.
Moses’ watch deserves its own mention. We have a few time actions until each big key event, and we’ll get a reminder of how many are left when Moses pulls out his watch. A time action can be an interrogation or the investigation of a scene.
The World of Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville
Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville is part of the World of Wilderness game series. It is an homage to classic fictional detectives, such as Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, as well as to classic animated cartoons. Combining these two styles and elements when creating Moses and Plato makes this game truly unique and memorable.
It is, at its core, a murder mystery set on a train, a variation of a locked room mystery with all the characters we meet, a potential suspect, including our main character, Moses, and Plato. The obvious comparison would be Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. It is an apt comparison for many reasons, including the game’s overall style. The train itself, the style of clothing, the fonts and UI – everything looks art deco and of course, gorgeous.
Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville feels contained and yet part of a bigger world, with its own politics and problems. It is alive and vibrant, with likeable, or at least, believable, characters. The animal traits are part of their psyche and can be a point of contention and discussion. We have 12 travelers, each with their own secrets and all fully voiced. Moses and Plato, our fox Sherlock and his feline Watson, are likeable, even if a bit lost.
Some Other Things
Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville has basic audio, video, and gameplay settings. The game uses manual saving mode and has Steam achievements, but no Trading cards yet. In the main menu, we have Extras, where we can see some artwork, cutscenes, and collections- postcards we’ve collected throughout the game. The demo is still available on the game’s Steam page.
Conclusion
I love adventure games, have a soft spot for trains, and especially enjoy the combination of the two. It sounds like a niche genre, but this is actually my third “murder investigation” on a train, after 2024’s Loco Motive and 2023’s Murder on the Orient Express. Each of those games brings something new to the table, and Moses & Plato – Last Train to Clawville is certainly one of the more unique spins on the story. I hope this is not the last I’ve seen from Moses and Plato.
