We thoroughly enjoyed our time with the Lucasarts-inspired point-and-click adventure Loco Motive when it rolled into the Switch station last month, but it was hard to ignore the numerous bugs that plagued the whodunnit. Fortunately, Robust Games has set its sights on these pesky bugs with the latest update.
The Loco Motive ver. 1.0.4 patch made its debut on Steam earlier this month and the developers have now announced its arrival on Switch via BlueSky. This update focuses on addressing technical issues, with Robust Games implementing a host of changes across the game’s stability, dialogue, visuals, gameplay, and more.
The complete patch notes were shared on the Loco Motive Steam page, and we’ve compiled them here for your convenience:
