Who? I just played the game, and don't remember that name coming up.

In addition to the models being not so great, I wish they didn't just stand around waiting for you to talk to them. If the doctor and the judge are so engaged in their pool game, why are they just standing there like statues rather than actually playing? When someone drops dead, how come everyone else in the room just stands there waiting for Narracott to come start a conversation? Wouldn't they be freaking out, or at the very least, talking among themselves about how awful it is?

The game has a lot of flaws (continuity weirdnesses in Narracott's comments as you inspect suitcases and stuff, his hand missing the doorknob by about six inches when he goes to open a door, etc.) But the story was so great, it was not hard for me to ignore the flaws. I hope the game sells well enough that AWE can make another Agatha Christie game, and hopefully learn from some of the mistakes made with this one.
