Microids has announced Blazzing Griffin is working on a detective title called Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The First Cases that will arrive at the end of September on all consoles and PC. The game was announced with a trailer that gives us an idea of what we will do.
In addition, the company that controls the writing rights, Agatha Christie LTD, has shared a press release in which it describes what the title is about. Blazing Griffin has some mystery and investigation games so we are facing a new installment of the same nature.
Mystery cases
Hercule Poirot is a character created by Christie and has more than 20 novels and several short stories. The game lets us control the famous detective in a situation that requires the use of all his intelligence, a murder case. In the title the character still does not have fame on his side, so we are in one of his first cases, as the title of the game says.
In the pictures that are posted on Steam we can see a mind map, interrogations and dialogues with characters and isometric exploration. The story begins when Poirot receives an invitation to the Van den Bosch mansion, what was going to be a great evening ends up being a case of mystery. One of the guests is found dead, so Poirot must find out what happened.
In the process we will reveal many mysteries of the mansion and the background of the host family, so, like the Christie novels, a game rich in narrative detail is expected.
Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The First Case llegará a PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch y PC.
