Agatha Christie Video Games

Agatha Christie’s books work so well as computer game adaptations. Because of a couple of particular devices that she used to great effect in her brilliant stories.

Firstly, the ‘locked room’ set-up – whether it’s a steamer boat like in Death on the Nile. A train like in Murder on the Orient Express. Or on an island as in And Then There Were None. This ‘enclosed’ location is an excellent set-up for a murder mystery game.

This means that in the game you have a specific area within which to search for evidence. Collect clues and find people to interview either as witnesses or suspects. And because the location of the crime is limited. It also means that there will only be a certain number of people. Who will have had some sort of relationship or interaction with the victim prior to the crime. This gives you a list of possible suspects that you’ll need to interview to eliminate from your inquiries.

Secondly, her use of red herrings. These keep you on your toes. There are plenty of plot twists and turns, that are designed to trip you up. And send you off on tangents and so you’re never quite able to just guess whodunit!

These games use these devices and so they keep you engaged and challenged in both the story and the game play. You’ll need to get sleuthing and collect all the evidence before you can make a proper deduction. In addition to this some of these games don’t strictly adhere to the original story. Partly to make it easier to adapt to a game version. But it also means that even if you have read the story. You can still play it without knowing the game ending.

All of the Agatha Christie computer games, listed in order of release.

This is my favourite mystery detective game of all the Agatha Christie games for PC. From the spooky atmosphere – evoked by sound effects, background music, visuals and of course the storyline. To the isolated setting – an island that is completely cut-off for the weekend. There are only 10 people on the island plus you (or are there?) and one by one they seem to be being killed off in the manner set out in a very gruesome nursery rhyme! Very eerie!
