The Last Express WalkthroughThe Last Express WalkthroughThis walkthrough assumes you are familiar withoperating the game's user interface.The Last Express is not a completely linear game,so this walkthrough is only one order of events while others will alsolead to a successful game completion.The events in this game do not always happen atthe same time or in same place for each game played. For this reasonyou may find it difficult to follow this walkthroughexactly. You may get behind schedule and miss opportunities. Usuallyyou will get another chance to perform criticalactions. If the game ends prematurely you can always rewind.General Hints1.Whenever the conductors are not at theirstations, take a look at their books.
One of them sketches thepassengers. These picturesmay provide clues. Check this book as often as you can. As the journeyprogresses,you will find more sketchesin his book. The other book contains the passenger list.2.The newspaper in the smoking compartmentcontains interesting political information.3.Whenever the conductors' views are blockedyou can try to enter other passenger's compartments.4.When the guard leaves his office inthe baggage car, usually to make announcements for meals or stops, youcanexplore the forwardbaggage compartment.5.Eavesdrop as much as possible.6.Engage the other passengers in conversationas often as possible. This walkthrough will not enable you to listento every conversation,but you will hear most of them.7.Follow the passengers when they move.This may represent another opportunity for eavesdropping orconversation.8.This game, although mainly a puzzlesolving adventure, involves a few action sequences where you have to fightwith an assailant. Thefights involve hand-eye coordination and fast reactions.
They get increasinglydifficult as thegame progresses. Thegame will end prematurely if you lose the fight. But with practice youwill win. Don't despair!9.To begin with you will be unfamiliarwith the layout of the train.
