Let's play Evil Under the Sun | Without commentary

The third and final AWE Productions video game adaptation of Agatha Christie’s work for the PC. Evil Under the Sun at last gives us full control of Hercule Poirot as he investigates a murder while on holiday in South Devon. When the beautiful actress and socialite, Arlena Stuart, is found strangled to death on the beach, Poirot is conveniently called upon to find the killer. Naturally, every guest at the luxurious Smuggler’s Rest Hotel is a suspect with a motive, and there appear to be other mysterious events that may or may not be related to the crime. As in the previous two games, you’ll interrogate suspects, collect clues, find useful objects, and use your little grey cells to solve the mystery. The only big difference being that you finally get to step into the shoes of the world-famous Belgian sleuth. Commentary version coming soon! The game is currently unavailable digitally, however, a physical copy can be found and purchased on Amazon and eBay.

While Poirot searches for it, he tests various typewriters to identify the one that wrote the threatening letters.
