So here's the thing. Hercule Poirot is a bit of a ♥♥♥♥, right. If I met him, I suspect I'd come to feel a slight urge to punch him in the throat eventually. He's smug, vain, arrogant and somewhat rude. Yet the world just can't seem to get enough of him. Even Agatha Christie couldn't stand him. In fact, she once referred to him[www.telegraph.co.uk] as a “detestable, bombastic, tiresome, ego-centric little creep.” And she even warned [thepeterwimseyreader.blogspot.no] other authors about creating a character like this in an essay from 1930. He was however a creep that made her a lot of money given his popularity, so she was stuck with him. During the war though, she made a plan to ensure his death should she herself die. Yep, she wanted to ensure that he could not live on if she didn't. Yikes. She wrote the story about his (and Miss Marple's) death in 1945, with instructions to publish if
Who this game may appeal to – -New P&C gamers -Agatha Christie fans or those who love a good story -HOG gamers who like puzzles as the puzzles here are just a bit harder than most HOGs (note this isn't a HOG like some past Christie games were). -People who find Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes games too hard or need a good bit of help with them. Those who are seasoned P&C gamers who are expecting the same length and complexities as the cheaper priced ($20) new Nancy Drew games may be disappointed which is why I am only recommending it if you can get it at half price. But then I always found Agatha Christie games to be easier than ND and SH games (although this is a completely different style as to the other AC adventure games). Trying to be thorough going for max points and working out achievements, first gameplay was 6-7hrs, with no hints. The gameplay is easy as there are objectives t
Mister pretty mustache I'm not a fan of Poirot TV series or anything, but i liked this game. I think it's pretty underrated and too few people noticed it exists. I loved another Agatha Christie game but forgot its name, some train mystery game. ABC Murders is an investigation point&click game. The gameplay most of the time is really fun and requires thinking. There are some challenging puzzles, gameplay doesn't feel repetitive, every chapter is something different. Besides solving puzzles and making connections to find the culprit you need to talk with witnesses to get some information about the killings or other people. You also look around the places for clues. Puzzles range from generic maze puzzles to more interesting ones. It has similar system to Sherlock Holmes games where you have the list of characters and you need to connect the dots and accuse one or another. Chapters take p
I liked playing it, and wanted to love it, but I just can not recommend this game. It is too basic, impossible to lose or miss something, only has a handful of puzzles which are pretty straight-forward, and just does not really feel like you're a detective at all. If Steam allowed some kind of rating in between a Yes or No, say, a Maybe, then I'd pick that. The visuals and voice acting are great! But the game holds your hand every linear step of the way, and so any sense of discovery is completely missing. Sometimes the clues the game is expecting you to match up in the Little Gray Cells mini-game do not even make sense, but you can't ever get stuck there - there is no progressing until you get it right, and there's only one correct combination. If you really love Poirot, or you just want to drop thirty bucks on a few hours of a murder story that you have to point-and-click through, then
Other reviews comment on poor controls and lack of guidance on how various interactions and puzzles work. But here's my thing: Conversation response options are very misleading, in ways that lead to inadvertently insulting your subject. I've just quit due to this exchange (no real spoilers): Interviewee: oh, if only she'd listened to me! Response options: [what would have happened if she had listened to you?] [do you know where she was last night?] [do you generally get along?] I selected what would have happened if she had listened to you? But what Poirot said was, "So if she had listened to you she would be alive today? Should I take that to be a confession of murder?" I had intended for Poirot to quite literally ask: what do you mean by that, what would have happened? But I've instead accused him of murder off the bat. My interview subject got understandable irate. There's no way to
If you like detective stories and whodunits, you'll enjoy this solid interpretation of the Christie novel. It is a pleasant stroll through a series of murders, with no moon logic or hard roadblocks, that nevertheless is able to keep the player interested and attentive through the use of a unique reward mechanic. ABC avoids the major problem of "adventure games" very neatly. This problem of course is the "mind reading" aspect of most of this type of game - guessing, over and over, what it is that the designer wanted you to do. In most adventure games, missing a single connection means you simply cannot progress any further, and the game is over until you either figure it out or look up a spoiler; so the connections either have to be childishly easy and unchallenging, or difficult enough to challenge but accepting that the player will likely feel compelled to either cheat or abandon the g
