Hi Liz -- I added a spoiler tag to your question, as it could identify the murderer.

He didn't love her, he just used her to take advantage of her fortune. But he had to kill her before that was discovered, that was his motive. Furthermore he loved his wife very much and they used that trick again with his wife for another murder before that of Arlena

Hi Guys. I work for Target, so I always grab a good adventure game when we sell them. I, of course, grabbed "Evil Under the Sun," and had a ball. Afterwards, I re-read the book and watched the David Suchet DVD and I was amazed and quite pleased at how well the game matched both. It was a great experience. I enjoyed it much better than Murder on the Orient Express, but will always be a fan of "And Then There Were None." I was a little disappointed to see that David Suchet didn't voice Poirot in the this game, however, the actor they got did a "spot on" job! And I so enjoyed actually being able to deliver one of Poirot's final denoucements at the end. I'm glad they chose the end they did. I think different books will require different endings, depending on the story and setting. I'm sorry to hear so many of you had a few glitches. Mine actually played flawlessly, which was a big help and made it that much more enjoyable. Haven't heard the buzz on any new AC game, but I'll definately look forward to it. As a side note, I did play the "Hidden Object" game version of "Death on the Nile," and for a simply seek and find game, it was pretty entertaining.

I finished this game recently and didn't enjoy it. :/ I thought the last 2 were much better than this one. I was bored with all of the walking back and forth, wished there was a jump feature. Poirot walked slower than a turtle. rolleyes wave

I just heard a pretty reliable rumor smile that the next Agatha Christie adventure game is currently in the works. I'm currently trying to see if more details will come out way.

Only if you single click. If you double click he moves automatically to the next scene.

QUESTION - Maybe a SPOILER (?) - I tend to ask questions and discuss a game without concern about spoiling the storyline for anyone who reads the thread...and I don't know how to 'hide' my spoilers...so here goes and if you have not finished the game yet (neither have I, just annoyed about this) don't read this = If this game is "non-linear" why can't I make Poirot go where I want him to instead of only where the walkthrough takes him/me? I
Click to reveal..
was in the tunnel, after finding those darts and placing them correctly and opening the secret door, and even I can see where I/Poirot should be going, yet he won't do it, says he has no clues to where to go next, but of course there they are right before my eyes! Had to return to the hotel instead of pursuing the investigation as I wanted to.....if you have played to here you know where it is and what I am looking at.
Question = I have returned to the hotel (after the tunnel now) and cannot find Emily on the Rocky Beach, no one is there, why can't I go to the bar and have a sherry? or something to waste time? What am I supposed to do while waiting for her?
I like this game, it seems very much easier than the first 2, loved the Orient Express, not so happy with the first in this series....like being able to do things in any order I wish. I seem to recall I had a problem earler in Evil with not following thru on something I wanted to do or proceed with but the game acted like a linear one there too...can't remember now just where I was at.
Love, Betty Lou

There is no reason to "waste time" in the game BL. If you cannot do what you want to do it's because you missed doing something else you needed to do. I was never at a loss of something that needed to be done.

Betty Lou,

The easiest way to add a spoiler tag is to go to the Full Reply Screen and use the spoiler tag. This is the one that looks like a megaphone.
Enter you spoilers in the text line.

As for Poirot in your spoiler above:
Click to reveal..
The mine is not just that entrance you see. It can be short or long. Poirot as he says needs something to guide him through that area. You do not want to venture in a dark mine without knowing if you will get lost.


As for waiting, then do what a regular adventurer would do. Check everything and see what might have been missed. Talk to everyone, investigate places, look at your documents and if you can't progress - ask Poirot and the finger in his office.

But as Poirot I should be able to just follow the person's footprints down the tunnel on the left, nothing could be plainer than that, could it?
First time I didn't do it right, hope this time I did. grin I have never paid any attention to that 'task bar' with the globe etc and now I understand (I think) how to use it, thanks Mag and Becky.....
Love, Betty Lou

Betty Lou -- I think you need to put the text within the spoiler frame. grin

I haven't gotten this far in the game myself, but as you know, in adventure games, often what looks easy involves some preliminary steps.

I hope you find your way (well, Poirot's way) (well, Hastings as Poirot's way) through!

I've been playing this game for an hour or two and am enjoying it so far. No glitches or hiccups - hope it stays that way! I was surprised to hear another actor voicing Poirot, but whoever it is, is doing a great job. Glad to read that others are having fun with the game also!

Thanks, it only took me 4 tries to get it right!
I have done a search in HINTS for any 'stuckness' I had in AC's Evil and could not find anything. I guess I have to go there and post a new thread in order to get an answer to my "feeling all alone on this beautiful island" - can anyone else find me in AC Evil in the HINTS forum? please! thanks
Love, Betty Lou
