Play Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders Online

Summary

Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders (often just called The ABC Murders) drops you into a third‑person adventure where you step into the polished shoes of Hercule Poirot. The game leans heavily on classic detective work: you wander beautifully rendered UK locales, sift through crime scenes, and piece together the subtle hints left by a cunning killer.

Every suspect is a puzzle in itself. By listening to how they speak, watching their body language, and cross‑examining their alibis, you gather fragments that feed into Poirot’s unique Timeline feature, letting you line up events and spot contradictions. The built‑in puzzles aren’t just brain‑teasers; they unlock new clues that push the investigation forward.

Captain Hastings tags along, and the duo chase a trail that begins with a simple railway guide left at each murder site. Their journey takes them from Andover to Bexhill, Churston and Doncaster, each town offering its own atmospheric backdrop and a fresh set of mysteries to untangle.

The title was co‑developed by AWE Games and Black Lantern Studios and brought to market by DreamCatcher Interactive, delivering a faithful, interactive homage to Christie’s 1936 novel for DS fans and mystery lovers alike.
