About this deal
At any given point, there are typically two or three Mind Maps available to work on. There is one for the overall murder, of course, but others become available for lesser mysteries or sub-layers that need to be solved. Some of these are strictly character-oriented, such as verifying the alibis of the partygoers. Other Mind Maps may be focused on recreating aspects of the crime, like when you need to piece together how an intruder could gain access to the manor. Or they may involve the combination of various clues being gathered, as when examining the crime scene and determining which elements are relevant. Events open with a montage of newspaper headlines detailing Poirot’s rise within the ranks of the Brussels Police Department. That is, until a shootout goes wrong and he’s demoted to a beat cop with such important duties as judging the annual Garden of the Season competition. After that brief setup, Poirot himself appears in an interactive prologue that goes through the basics of gameplay as he investigates the theft of a bracelet at the Van den Bosch estate, home to a high-society family that’s fallen prey to financial difficulties. At this point, Poirot is just a simple police officer who believes steadfastly that the law will out. This early in his career, some of his more familiar traits like his obsessive fastidiousness have not yet emerged, and he is shaken when his investigation ultimately leads to injustices between social classes.

While the characters are all varied in personality and appearance, the locations aren’t nearly so diverse, with the entirety of the adventure taking place in or around the Van den Bosch manor. In the prologue, Poirot’s visit is set against the vivid greenery of summer, while the rest of the game takes place during a winter snowstorm. The building interiors feature many a wood-paneled and tile-floored room. A few scenes, such as the impressive floor-to-ceiling library and the dining room with its array of mounted animal heads, do provide a somewhat different look. And of course the drawing room is put to good use in typical Poirot fashion when he calls all the suspects together to grandstand at the end of the mystery to reveal all.
