6.5/10 Point and click adventure game based on a famous book (keep that in mind if you've read it already, since the game generally follows the same plot). It has puzzles, dialogue choices and deduction elements; all of pretty average difficulty. The art style is very pleasant and if you're looking for a point and click game that's not too demanding, it's a great choice. As for the game's flaws, it has minor problems with controls (objects not examining correctly when clicked, which makes talking to characters or looking at things a bit hard sometimes), but it doesn't affect the experience too much. Also, there's no in-game save system, but all the saves are stored on the device anyway, so they can be reloaded manually by the user. Takes around 6 hours to finish if playing thouroughly (clicking on optional objects etc.), a bit more if achievement hunting - in order to get all of them, the player has to either go through 2 playthroughs or play once and restore saves at a certain point in the game (I'd recommend a guide for this). Keep in mind that if you want to take the one playthrough + saves route, the game will require you to make wrong choices (poor responses and terrible conclusions) for the donkey achievement line - so for the full experience I'd recommend one playthrough with your preferred choices, and then another with a guide. Concluding, I'd totally get it on sale, and maybe for the full price if you're a big fan of Agatha Christie or this game genre.

Story-wise this is practically the perfect book to game adaptation both in how few changes are made, how necessary those changes are in the change of medium, and how it tells the story to you. The deduction part of the gameplay is great and many of the puzzles are pretty good but I must admit in this department it's far from perfect, it's very oties-point-and-click if you will, for good and bad. Overall tho this is so far the best agatha christie adaptation and I'd say better than most of the sherlock holmes games too, so it's a definite must for fans of the whodunnit.

Nov. 2024

I have neutral feelings about this game. It's a decent game for what it is. I felt like a shortish mystery game and overall I was satisfied. The story is fairly interesting, I enjoyed the various interactable puzzle items in each location (not only "click spots in the room to investigate"), and after doing a second playthrough to try being a donkey XD I found it cool to see how characters respond to you differently based on your responses However, the gameplay is pretty clunky, there are a few glitches, and (my personal peeve) the voice acting left quite a bit to be desired. Possibly worth a try on sale if you're a fan of Agatha Christie or just in the mood for a short point and click mystery

more of a visual novel imo and less game play, but still enjoyable if you like crime/ murder mysteries

Jan. 2024

The game is mildly entertaining and has a few amusing puzzles. The controls are clunky, though, and often frustrating, especially in puzzles that require physically manipulating an object. Also, sometimes you can't proceed, but you're not sure why not. You have to go back over a scene then, looking for some detail you must have missed.
