About the game
"First Class Escape: The Train of Thought" is a co-operative atmospheric escape room puzzle game, set in a beautifully realized vintage train. Do you think you have what it takes to solve the puzzles and escape the train?
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: GTX 760M / GTX 660 / Ati Radeon 7870 or similar with 2GB VRAM, 6 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
46 discounts in the 5 years on record, a median of 35 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $4.54 at 35 percent off still sits 30 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is less well reviewed than 76 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Unboxing the Cryptic Killer ($5.99, scores 72) and Escape Simulator ($19.99, scores 69) both outscore it.

Chapter 4's challenge room was just math. 3 guys and we got this game because Excape Memoirs Mini Memories was amazing. All the gameplay issues like: not being able to read the same note together and etc. have been...
I find myself agreeing with other reviews -- the puzzles in the game are borderline nonsensical. The challenge puzzle I'm not even sure was a real puzzle, I had to brute force my way to figuring it out. Pixel-hunting is lame in general, but it especially sucks in a 3D game.. Not for the collectibles, mind you, but for keys necessary for puzzles. Me and my friend had to really push ourselves to finish the game, and...
