Detectives, it’s time, Microids has announced that Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express will be live on Steam Next Fest between the 9th of October and the 16th of October.

Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient has players solving a murder mystery in this faithful but fresh adaptation of Agatha Christie’s murder mystery, with stunning art direction, new characters, and all the twists and turns puzzles fans would expect. The demo will let players experience the first hour of the game as Detective Hercule Poirot. After discovering Ratchett’s body, murdered in his room, players will be called upon to explore the lavish environments of the legendary train. To solve the mystery they’ll have to interrogate suspects, verify alibis and decipher captivating puzzles and mini-games. The demo will also offer a glimpse at the new character of Joanna Locke, an American investigator created especially for the game, whose mission is to unravel the mystery behind the kidnapping of Daisy Armstrong.

  • Faithful, but fresh: The game is a faithful but fresh adaptation of the original story, with a new character named Joanna Locke added to the story. Playing as Joanna, players can exit the confines of the train during playable flashbacks.
  • Embody the legendary detective Hercule Poirot: Enter Hercule Poirot’s head to discover mind maps and make deductions as he navigates the puzzles and objects scattered throughout each chapter.
  • A rich adventure with strong twists: Murder on the Orient Express is renowned for one of the most famous plot twists in literary history, and Microids’ game is no exception. But with events taking place in 2023, the investigation will see players venture in new directions.
  • A brilliant detective and mystery game: Players will take on the roles of Poirot and Joanna, solve puzzles and make deductions to uncover the truth behind the murder. In a third-person view, players will inspect the environment and talk with the protagonists, searching for clues and confronting the suspects.

Hello, I'm Jake, I have loved all things gaming since the SEGA Megadrive days. As a kid, teenager, young adult I loved playing games, but I always wanted more, I wanted to see what went on behind the scenes, talk to the amazing people who work in the industry. That's how I got into gaming sites and that's why I created my own.
