Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders is a mystery adventure game for the Nintendo DS, based on Agatha Christie's 1936 novel The ABC Murders. The game was co-developed by American companies AWE Games and Black Lantern Studios, and published by DreamCatcher Interactive.[1]

Gameplay[edit]

The game follows Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings as they solve mysteries by inspecting crime scenes and questioning suspects.[2] In order to appeal to players familiar with the original story, the game also offers the option to play with a different murderer, which results in different clues and testimony throughout the entire game.[3]
