How it feels

Feels like stepping into a classic whodunit novel, methodically gathering clues and questioning suspects in atmospheric London settings.

What players say

Players find the controls clunky and the character models ugly, especially Poirot's. The story is slow to start, and puzzles are limited to mind map work, with little inventory use. The game gets interesting only near the end, and many say it is not worth full price.
