Elizabeth looked white coming downstairs → Staff are involved in the murder = Elizabeth found the body Ernesto paid the Major well for his support → The Major was desperate for a well-paid job = The Major needed to ensure the job was done Solving the mystery won’t be easy. With twists and turns at every corner, players will have to use their wits and detective skills to unravel the clues and piece the puzzle together. That is, if they move their mouths at all. By the later game, cutscenes are played out by characters whose faces hardly move, which is actually better. The game leans into its 3D characters and environments but they’re just not up to the level of scrutiny this invites. Other minor irritations include characters vanishing from the scene after talking, Poirot opening non-existent doors to change areas, and his internal monologue sounding like it’s coming from the next room. Get ready for major plot twists that will keep the players hooked until the very end. Murder on the Orient Express is renowned for having one of the best plot twists in literary history, and this game is no exception. But this time, set in 2023, you will lead your investigation in a whole new light.
