Oct 27, 2021Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The First Cases is light on the "game" but successfully unravels a story like a page-turning mystery. It doesn't play out like a typical detective adventure, but instead uses a narrative that feels in line with the Mind Map mechanic. I appreciated the simple tale that allows the player to experience Poirot's process - no magic, no tricks, not even godlike intelligence - just the power of good old logical thinking. This detective game accomplishes what it set out to do: turn a mystery story into a compelling audio-visual experience.
