At any given point, there are typically two or three Mind Maps available to work on. There is one for the overall murder, of course, but others become available for lesser mysteries or sub-layers that need to be solved. Some of these are strictly character-oriented, such as verifying the alibis of the partygoers. Other Mind Maps may be focused on recreating aspects of the crime, like when you need to piece together how an intruder could gain access to the manor. Or they may involve the combination of various clues being gathered, as when examining the crime scene and determining which elements are relevant.

Description: Adapted from the classic Agatha Christie novel, ‘The ABC Murders’ is an adventure and investigation game, offering sharp-minded gamers the chance to step into the shoes of Hercule Poirot. Join the famous detective as he attempts to unmask the elusive murderer known as “ABC” by solving puzzles, and exploring crime scenes, rendered stylishly in cel-shaded, real-time 3D. Following the game's completion, the player is given one last challenge that will reward them with the original ending to the book, where Wargrave is the killer. Dying, he wants to mete out justice personally to criminals who have escaped punishment, who he has invited to the island. The alternate ending details the events of the book, And Then There Were None, wherein all the guests on the island are killed by Wargrave except for the last two, Vera and Lombard. Vera then shoots Lombard, thinking him the murderer (since Wargrave has faked his own death), and then hangs herself. Wargrave then shoots himself. Brian Rowe (April 10, 2008).

In his early years as a detective Hercule Poirot is invited to a reception by the influential Van den Bosch family, for the announcement of their daughter’s engagement. But tensions amongst the guests run high as a snowstorm descends on the town, trapping everyone inside the manor. The happy event is soon marred by the murder of one of the guests. And Then There Were None is divided into 10 chapters. After completing a certain trigger event, the next chapter begins. The developers ensured that nothing essential to the game could be missed during the player's progression, although large sections of gameplay are optional, and the player may ignore many of the side-quests. This divided progression adds another dimension to gameplay, as not only does the player have to be in the right place to find a clue or solve a puzzle, but must be there at the right time. For example, an empty room in one act could hold a vital clue in the next. [6]Death Drop: A Dragatha Christie Murder-Mystery will spill all the tea after two hours of keeping you on your toes.

Another feature of And Then There Were None is the "Suspicion Meter", which measures the player's relationship with other characters, starting from a neutral position at the start of the game. There are negative consequences if the player is caught doing things that other characters deem inappropriate, which directly affects the "Suspicion Meter": falling one point for every negative action and raising one point for each positive act. Depending on which of three positions the meter is in regarding a particular character, dialogue actions with that character are affected. The player is also able to regain approval points by solving "Suspicion Meter" puzzles; multiple inventory items and combining items and can be quite complicated. [6] This mapping of story details is beautifully suited to the classic detective genre, which is all about a clearly defined mystery and the steady supply of clues and red herrings to the reader. It’s easy to imagine Poirot using this diagrammatic exploration of the plot to sort his ideas and tie up loose ends – or to imagine Agatha Christie doing the same as she writes. It also serves those of us with more modern attention spans than Christie originally wrote for, by summarising what was pertinent in any conversation and adding it to the map. The classic denouement is subverted slightly when you already know what Poirot has worked out, but there’s a user-friendliness in telling the audience once, then telling them what they were told, and the pantomime of fingering the perpetrator is no less fun.
