    It will be available on App Store as soon as Apple accept it. I'll post information and direct link in this topic, when it's approved, so stay tuned!

    Thanks a lot! And about the episodes - you'll get them all, no matter what :)
    Now we are working on the first update for episode one (additional content - we want to replace few graphics, so it will look much better on iPhone 4), iPad version and the second episode. I think that first preview of second episode (with few screenshots and video) will be available in the next few weeks, and the full game (The Train episode 02) should be on the App Store at the end of April.

    Character casts spells automatically when you touch paintings, drawings, portraits etc.
    First, you have to open inventory (briefcase button), then you have to touch item that you want to use (currently active item is highlighted), and then touch anything on the screen that you want to use the item with. If this action is possible then you'll see it (description, dialogue, animation etc.). If not - nothing happens.
    If you have an active item, and you close your inventory, then this item become inactive.

    You can go backwards, when you touch the very bottom part of the background (sometimes you have to move your head with the virtual analog stick).

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    One more time - You can go backwards, when you touch the very bottom part of the background (sometimes you have to move your head with the virtual analog stick).

    So, using the virtual analog stick you have to look on the floor of the train, and then just touch it. [SPOILER - white text] You have to talk with the State Police officer first. [SPOILER ENDS]

    Hope that helps!

    The English translation is horrible! I'm having trouble following the game because of it! Did u beta test this game in an English speaking market. It really lets the entire game down - shame!

    This looks good. The shoddy English translation might maw me decide against buying it until they are improved. Any more impressions? Of course, the story is very important.

    The game looks great from a visual perspective, something like 1112, not quite as polished. Controls are clunky at first but you get used to them.

    The English is bad but the developer has promised an update so fingers crossed! TheMoonwalls sent me a lovely email apologizing for the language so A+ for customer service! If that is anything to go by then I'd expect a pretty speedy update...

    We should all keep in mind that this is a lesser known developer and I guess it's not fair to compare this game with the likes of chillingo or anuman interactive.

    It seems TheMoonwalls do really want to produce a good game. So i can't be too hard on them. Let's hope that they follow through with the update soon, and not in a years time like some other games.(Dexter for example)

    The game is worth a look, once u spend some time with it... And if u are looking for a new point and click adventure and have somewhat of a sense of humor when it comes to the dialogue, then 'the train' is worth a look...

    We are deeply sorry for the english translations quality.
    I want to assure you that there will be an update with new translations next week - we just found a professional english translator who is ready to correct our game's texts!

    Thank you for your patience!

    Regards,
    The Moonwalls.

    Sometimes you have to turn your device to portrait position :) Try it.

    Is this Retina Display-optimized? I'll buy this after the new translation update if it is. If not, hey, it's the end of 2010, and games without the optimized resolution look bad on the iPhone 4.

    Excuse me for adding another reply, but I have a different subject:

    We'are going to publish and update next week with:
    1. Superb english translation (made by professional english translator)
    2. Unblocked controls at the beginning of the scene. Now player has to wait to end of the automatic camera movement (which occurs on almost every scene).
    3. Added additional interface/HUD button: "Go backward". Many players have a problem with going back - now you have to move your head down and click on the very bottom part of the background. After the update you'll have two ways: the old one, and the new one.
    4. Performance improvment on older devices.

    If you have any other ideas - let us know!

    Hello everyone,

    Just want to let you know that translation is ready and now we are working on the control system. Could you please tell me how should we change it? Maybe screen is moving too slow, or virtual analog stick is not as sensitive as it should be?

    Thank you very much!
