Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun is a video game by AWE Productions released for the Windows and Nintendo Wii, and is the third installment of The Adventure Company's Agatha Christie series based on Agatha Christie's 1941 novel Evil Under the Sun. The Windows version was released in 2007,[2] and the Wii version one year later.[1]
Evil Under the Sun features Hercule Poirot as the protagonist,[3] unlike the previous game in the series, Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express, which had featured Poirot as a non-playable character. It also features numerous improvements and expanded gameplay elements, with a new inventory system, dialogue choices, and more environments.[3] While players take the role of Poirot, they are actually playing as Captain Hastings playing as Poirot, in an interactive scenario designed by Poirot in order to allow his long-time friend a chance to solve the mystery in the way Poirot would.[4]
