With brand-new elements added to the original story, players will experience mystery and suspense like never before and rediscover one of the most famous cases of Hercule Poirot. On board the Orient Express, the legendary detective Hercule Poirot tries to solve the murder that has taken place on the prestigious train while surrounded by a cast of intriguing characters with their secrets and motives. Solving the mystery won’t be easy, and through numerous twists and turns, players will have to use their little grey cells and detective skills to unravel the truth and bring it to light.

The game, fully dubbed in English, German, and French, is a faithful but augmented adaptation of the original story, with a new character named Joanna Locke added to the mix. With her, you can regularly exit the training environment during playable flashbacks. Enter into Hercule Poirot’s head to discover mind maps and make deductions, adding depth to the gameplay. And don’t forget the many puzzles with object manipulations that are scattered throughout each chapter.
