Walkthrough for Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The First Cases
Walkthrough for all chapters of Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot
Gameplay Features :
Hercule Poirot receives an invitation to a party organized by the influential Van den Bosch family in honor of his daughter's engagement. All goes well until one of the guests is found dead. Poirot is left with no choice but to conduct an investigation to identify the perpetrator. In the process of investigating, he uncovers numerous secrets of the Van den Bosch family and its rivals.
Game mechanics
The driving force behind the game is the investigation led by Poirot. During the game, we travel around locations and interrogate various characters. We quickly learn that such negotiations are not easy, because everyone has something to hide and almost everyone is acting suspiciously. In addition, we must carefully examine the locations in search of various clues that can lead us to the real trail. As we begin to collect more and more valuable information, we often have to look at a special mind map that allows us to organize clues and combine them using Poirot's deductive skills. Thus, as we progress, we will not only find out who was behind the murder, but also discover other suspicious cases that need to be solved.
