Status : Online | I'm currently playing this game and I find it really interesting, more interesting because of the story than anything else. It's such a good story that I also started reading Agatha Chritie's books now. I don't know if I will be disappointing in the end, but so far, the graphics are great, voice acting is great with the only flaw being you ask the same things to everyone and sometimes it gets akward, like when the general says he knows he will never leave the island and knows he's gonna die, the main character says "Thanks for the info General" i was like haha what an ass! but other than some small clumsy mistakes, its very well done and keeps you guessing what will happen next, and in the end, who is behind all of this? If you haven't played it, I recommend it, it has no problem running on windows 7, which most likely means it will run on anything since W7 is pure garbage.
Anyone has any thoughts on this game, without spoiling the story of course? Anyone know a similar game that will recommend after I'm done with this one?
It is a 3rd person point and click adventure, pick up items, combine them, many great characters and awesome graphics. What similar game would you recommend?

| Deleted User | If you liked this one you should play Murder on the Orient Express as I thought it was equally as good.
I didn't think that Evil Under the Sun was as well put together and the playthrough seemed somewhat disjointed. Still you might want to consider.

Status : Online | I reallyyy hated And Then There Were None. I found the characters and their actions highly unrealistic. It also felt a little too linear for me - linearity is commonplace in adventure games, of course, but it seemed that the ONLY actions I could make were to further the storyline, and since I felt I wasn't really having an impact on the story at all, I became quite bored. Overall, I felt it was one of the worst games I've bothered to finish :-/
I purchased the book while playing the game and well, I thought it was great until I read the ending. So perhaps the story is just not for me.
I did however very much enjoy the game Murder on the Orient Express. And I'll put in a recommendation for The Last Express, for an Agatha Christie-like murder mystery

| Deleted User | I'm really starting to think that I must make a definite plan to play Murder on the Orient Express. Since I personally actually enjoyed And Then There Were None, and people here are praising MOTOE even more.
I like that a different twist to the end was given than the original ending in the novel that ATTWN was based on - it gave the people who had read the book something different to look forward to.

Status : Offline | I found And Then There Were None to be so-so for a number of reasons, but in particular because the various changes to the original story didn't work for me.
But I'll also chime in with a recommendation for Murder on the Orient Express, I just wrapped that up and enjoyed it much more than I was expecting.

Status : Online | I have And Then There Were None in my to be played stack, I did play Evil Under the Sun and I can't say it stuck with me as a great game. It was fun, but as they say nothing to write home about.

Status : Offline | The problems wih Murder on The Orient Express are that you spend a lot of time just trailing up and down the damn train hoping to find someone to speak to or some new evidence left in locations that you have already visited many times before... and the 'new' ending
Spoiler Alert Pretty much everyone knows that the twist is that all of the passengers were involved in the murder, so they added a new character who 'Is not who they claim to be' in the words of Poirot. How this character was supposed to have obtained their postition and learnt several languages in the blink of an eye is only one of the many holes that litter the ending...
Still haven't got round to And Then There Were None yet, but unfortunately I have read so much about it that I actually know the whole plot already, so it would kind of be a waste of time :-/
