Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders sets the picture beautifully. A murder occurs by an unknown assailant, who then types a letter to Hercule Poirot inviting him to try and catch him. You, as one of the best detectives around, must stop this madman!
The problem? The game fails ultimately to make you feel any sort of intelligence as Hercule Poirot. The vast majority of the game is just noticing the OBVIOUS items. A woman is fidgeting in her seat, avoiding your gaze, and breathing quickly. Your deduction - she's nervous.
That's it. As a fan of a good detective story I was shocked by just how under developed this was from a player's perspective. Surely THE CHIEF OF POLICE, who goes to ALL the crime scenes with you, can tell such OBVIOUS items as this? The game leads me to believe NO, that you are indeed the smartest person in the room.
Tragic. Otherwise Artefacts Studio really nail the world design. The visual look really suited this game rather well.
However that is the extent of this game's good graces. Puzzles are very simplistic. Voice acting at times laughably bad with speech different from the subtitles. Worst of all nothing can overcome a detective game where as the protagonist you agree with Scar from The Lion King "I'm surrounded by idiots".

If you like puzzle detective games, this is a small charming game. It got ok to good deduction puzzles and a charming artstyle with some good cases. Do recommend for a cheap price.
