Just finished the game and I am curious what people who are currently playing the game think of it. I mostly followed the walkthough because I was so captivated by the story that I didn't want to spend time on the puzzles.
In my opinion the story was very good - Ms Christie's mysteries are very clever - and the cutscenes were effective in carrying the plot. I'm curious what do fellow gamers think of the gameplay itself? Did you enjoy working out the inventory puzzles?
Like old detective games of the past, this game suffers from a problem of "the gamer not finding the triggers to end the chapter." Any suggestions for future games to overcome this problem?

Good story & Good game in my opinion.. I always try to work out the puzzles first before going to a WT.. Whats the point of an Adventure game if there is no inventory puzzles or for that matter no puzzles  I enjoyed it very much...Nice game

I didn't have any issues with the puzzles in this game, in fact I thought it was the best Agatha Christie yet. I want more puzzles in games, that is why I play them. Ana

I liked this game for the story, the graphic and the puzzles. Only one thing negative to say and that was all the walking,
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

EUTS has been my favorite Agatha Christie game, so far. When's the next one due? What will it be? I read all the AC books way back. She was a mystery genius and I never did know who "dunnit" until the last couple of pages. I read the books so long ago that even now that the games are coming out I still can't remember who "dunnit".

The only disadvantage of EUTS was the too much walking up-and-down. Apart from this it was ok!
....set the controls for the heart of the sun....
