The Last Express is an adventure game released in 1997 by Brøderbund Software. The game was released for Macintosh and PC (DOS).

The Last Expres is one of the most innovative adventure games of the late 90's. In the game you play the role of Robert Cathy, an American with a mysterious past, who must solve the mystery of his friend's murder.


The production can be safely considered one of the best adventure games of all time. The action takes place on the Orient Express, just before the outbreak of World War I. The Last Express is an international intrigue, love story and crime novel at the same time. It may seem trivial at first, but the smart storyline, unforgettable characters, unpredictable twists and some of the best voice performances in video games negate all the game's other flaws. Our hero travels by train to visit his old friend. When I get there, it turns out that he was murdered. The mystery of his death will not be easy to solve, because there are many surprises behind it. The plot is extremely intriguing and keeps you in suspense until the very end.


The game uses real-time gameplay mechanics; ie the characters follow their schedule - they go to dinner, have conversations, move from place to place, etc. Therefore, if we want to get any information or directions, we have to be in the right place and time.
