Play as Hercule Poirot, the private detective drawn into a case involving a mysterious killer known as ABC. The investigation takes him to crime scenes in towns across the United Kingdom.
Explore locations, examine objects for evidence, observe suspects, and question them about what they know. Object-based puzzles provide another way to uncover clues.
Use the evidence you collect to make deductions about the case. Poirot’s deduction system connects clues to conclusions, while his timeline lets you arrange relevant events as the investigation progresses.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its adaptation of Poirot’s mystery, its depiction of the detective, and its atmospheric presentation. Many find the investigation and clue-linking engaging as a relaxed, story-led experience, while others feel the deductions are too guided or the puzzles too simple. The cel-shaded art and voice acting also receive recurring praise.
