How does an interactive mystery work when half the world already knows the solution?
French publisher Microids has announced a video game adaptation of Agatha Christie's classic mystery novel Murder on the Orient Express. Describing the game as a"faithful, but augmented" retelling of the story, it's set to launch later this year.
That's where the"augmented" part Microids' description comes in. This doesn't mean Hercule Poirot will be getting retractable ceramic arm-blades. Instead, Microids state that players will lead the investigation"in a whole new light". Part of this involves the introduction of a new character, Joanna Locke, with whom players can"regularly exit the train environment during playable flashbacks".
