Train travel drives the whole game
The Last Express · Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express · Loco Motive · The Final Station

Browser or desktop windows are the whole interface
Emily is Away · Kingsway · Buddy Simulator 1984 · Mainlining

Elsinore · Backstage Pass · The Last Show of Mr. Chardish · Once Upon a Jester
