What’s the Game About?
This title puts you in Poirot’s polished shoes, with a new partner, Joanna Locke, by your side. Together, you navigate the iconic **Orient Express** and some new side locations to crack the case. Instead of just reading about the mystery, here you investigate it firsthand. It’s a detective game that’s part puzzle hunt, part conversation simulator. If you enjoy piecing clues together and checking back on what you’ve learned, this is right up your alley.
Gameplay and Features
- Investigate the Train: Explore the luxurious train’s compartments and gather clues at your own pace.
- Interview Passengers: Chat with a diverse cast of characters to spot inconsistencies and hidden motives.
- Challenging Puzzles: Solve objects and environmental puzzles that make you think.
- Thought Maps: Organize clues visually to connect dots like real detectives.

Visuals and Atmosphere
No photorealistic ambition here, but the game’s vibrant art style has its own charm. The aesthetic nods to the original story while adding a bit of flair that’s refreshing for newcomers. Sometimes you might find yourself pausing just to take a screenshot or two. Not bad for a mystery game.
Why Give It a Shot?
Not every mystery game lets you take your time and tinker with clues without a ticking clock breathing down your neck. Need a challenge? You got it. Prefer to soak in the story carefully? That works too. If you love detective games but don’t want a headache, this is a neat balance.
Lesson learned: always carry a spare magnifying glass. You never know when you’ll find a hidden clue.
