Game summary

Welcome back to the Twenties! A murder has gripped the VIP section of a fancy train, and it's up to amateur sleuth Victoria and her omniscient feline friend Hercules to investigate. Meet the witnesses, hunt for clues, and gather alibis in a world where no-one will help you with anything until you solve a puzzle for them first! With a run-time of a few hours, Victoria Clair and the Mystery Express is perfect for a weekend of puzzle-solving play! Tell a friend. Grab your cat. Maybe your cat will help you with the puzzles? I don't know. I had enough trouble getting my own cat to voice-act for this thing.

Play Victoria Clair and the Mystery Express on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Victoria Clair and the Mystery Express on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
