hello bsky! our game was taken down due to a false DMCA which completely killed our momentum at launch. our studio is in a very precarious position right now. please share and spread the word, steam has been little help to our situation.

Wow! Thanks to everyone who jumped in and left a Steam user review over the last few days, we really appreciate it. Due to the spike of recent reviews, weโre actually just a few shy of 900 now, which would be a huge milestone! โฅ๏ธ

27.11.2025 09:31 โ ๐ 9 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0We would like the game to be as accessible to as many people as possible, but we'd never rely on AI to make up for a shortfall. Localisation is an art form as much as anything, and we believe players deserve a careful and considered translation of the source material.
26.11.2025 23:13 โ ๐ 39 ๐ 3 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0We got a Steam review today that reads "there's no French localization. Unbelievable in this day and age when AI can do that in seconds."
1. We will never use AI.
2. Leaving a bad review because the game isn't available in your language is incredibly lame. ๐
Loco Motive is currently 30% off, and we've been seeing a lot of new players picking up the game. As a result, we're inching closer to 900 reviews on Steam! If you've enjoyed the game but haven't left a Steam review yet, we'd really appreciate it.

About to make my way over for the second day of AdventureX! Yesterday was amazing - held a fireside chat about the development of Loco Motive with my pal @mcdoogleh.bsky.social, and had the opportunity to meet @darmato.bsky.social himself - aka the voice of Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate!

That's a great compliment! we were thrilled to work with such a lovely cast! As you say, they really elevated the material and delivered every time! โจ
22.11.2025 20:59 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Loco Motive might have like, some of the best voice acting of any adventure game I've played? I am VERY picky about voice acting and often skip lines due to my high reading speed, even in games I enjoy the writing in a lot. Loco Motive's cast is fucking killing it. They elevate every single line

Promo graphic stating: Cassette Beasts has over 1.1 Million Units Sold (oh man, how did we manage that? Thank you all so much!)
We're so thrilled to be able to announce that Cassette Beasts has sold over *1.1 MILLION units*!
We started out as a tiny team hoping we might be lucky enough to sell even a fraction of that - for every share, review, or positive comment, we really can't thank all of you enough. ๐
Perfect run, well done guys
12.11.2025 17:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Loco Motive was a wholly human creation made with a relatively tiny budget - We paid real human voice actors, artists and musicians - And they all brought something to the final game.
Nexon has a market cap of $17,000,000,000 USD and they're too cheap to care about their craft. Fuck off.

Every AI advert should have a little disclaimer at the bottom that tells you how much freshwater they squandered to make it.
