14 DAY TRIAL // JoWooD and DreamCatcher have just come with some new details regarding the Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None adventure game for Wii. As it was expected, the Nintendo Wii version will take advantage of the console's original control method and it will allow adventure fans everywhere to fully enjoy another Agatha Christie hit.
So prepare yourself for an extraordinary investigative thriller in this superb adaptation of the mystery novel writer! Throughout this adventure, you will control the new eleventh character, Patrick Narracott, a boatman who takes guests to Shipwrek Island and ends up trapped with the others. Well... life's tough, sometimes. And, to make it even tougher, you will have to solve the mystery before you become the killer's next victim. So... get set, steady, go!
Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None uses the Wii Remote to take the adventure gameplay to a next level - at least something that the PC has never seen before and, most likely, will not see too soon. For instance, players will be able to get muddy and dig for clues or spin the handle of a safe using the Wiimote. Also, as a bonus or special treat for the Nintendo Wii fans, there will be some kind of arcade-ish features, such as timed puzzles. Which means that, for example, players must race up a set of stairs from a boat docked below.
The game promises to bring over 20 hours of gameplay and, as any self respected adventure game, multiple endings. The players will face a story which revolves around ten people who don't know each other, but have a common thing: they are invited to a lavish estate on an isolated island. Something like Chuck Palahniuk's "Haunted", if you are more into really modern stuff. Anyway... in a Saw-like manner, the mysterious host accuses each of his 'guests' of murder and proceeds to exact justice by becoming judge, jury and executioner. It's up to you to solve this mystery or pay with your life. Everything starting the 8th of February in UK and the 25th of February in the US.
