Do you like Poirot?

well this game has Poirot lol :D it's not exactly a traditional point and click adventure game though. It's more of an interactive Poirot story. The gameplay consists of checking out the environment for clues and interviewing people. You don't pick stuff up, you don't combine items, you don't do any puzzle minigames, with one exception. Poirot solves everything with his genius brain, so to progress in the game you have to connect the right clues in the mind map to unlock new ideas, connections between evidence, and new options for questioning the suspects. So that's the only sort of puzzle you do in the game. In the easy mode if you make wrong connection three times the evidence that can be connected to something starts flashing, so you can't really get stuck. If you pay attention and go through the investigation properly you might even get a better ending. If you want to enjoy a Poirot story then you'll get that with all the twists and turns of a Poirot story, although whether the walking around that extends the gameplay time is for the better or worse, I don't know, but imho it becomes a bit of a chore . If you want to shuffle inventory items around then you won't get that, because this really isn't that kind of a game. Also, this is obviously not the short and pudgy David Suchet Poirot, so too bad if you were looking for that. :D

Different, but still fun

The last game — The ABC Murders — was really one of my favorites and got my hooked on this series. Although the gameplay and visual style ended being quite different from what I expected, it was still just as engaging and fun to play. If the last game was focused on finding evidence and solving puzzles, this one placed greater emphasis on interrogating suspects and drawing conclusions based on what you know. There are some annoying bits, like having to constantly press a key to continue a long conversation, but it didn't detract from the experience that much. Even though I do wish that the puzzles with "complex mechanisms" (requiring you to find hidden evidence in various contraptions) from the last game weren't completely removed, this game is really enjoyable with a compelling story to boot. I definitely recommend this game.

Disappointing

I want to like this, but there's not enough actual gameplay. The mind-map element just ends up being trial and error to find what fits. I wish it actually made me feel like a detective, but it ends up like just throwing whatever at the wall to see if it works. Also, the writing is a bit lazy and anachronistic. I don't think anyone of the period the game was set in would say they were "blown away" by something.

Quite compelling title

The experience is quite close to the books' experience: ONE big case, divided in chapters. Don't let the screeshots put you down: the somehow rigid isometric environment, the clunky animations, the visuals don't do the game justice. As for the gameplay, it's the combination of a VERY WELL WRITTEN visual novel, with the easy brain racking of mapping the thoughts of the protagonist (not unlike Crimes & Punishments for example). The Voice acting is solid, and it's mostly about the story. As an added bonus, this story was written with the "usual" specific themes of Hercule Poirot in mind: Aristocrat way of life, the class divide, money, family secrets and love stories. Well, this one checks all the boxes, I think agatha would be proud. If you are looking for a deep story with light gaming moments, this is for you. I enjoyed it, I hope you will too.

An easy investigation

The game is easy, what makes it work the interesting story as it comes together from small pieces. The characters, the story is very Agathe Christie like. If you like Poirot, you should buy this on sale.
