Encyclopedia : A : AN : AND : And Then There Were None (video game)
And Then There Were None is a video game based on Agatha Christie's book of the same title. It was released on October 30,2005, and was produced by The Adventure Company.
Story
The game mainly follows the book's storyline, but does have some differences here and there. Ten guests are invited to a place called Shipwreck Island. All ten of these guests have at some time in their life committed a murder that could not be punished with the law. So a mysterious Mr. U. N. Owen (which reads "Unknown" when read together) decides to bring the murderers to justice. One by one, Mr. Owen kills the guests, who are frantically trying to find a way to leave.
In the game you play Patrick Narracott, the brother of the boatsman who brought the guest to the island. Patrick becomes trapped on the island with the ten other guests and must solve the case before all of the guests meet their fate.
Gameplay
And Then There Were None uses a point-and-click interface. This has the advantage of easier gameplay. However, the graphics of the game tend to be lacking due to this choice of interface.Differences
While the game tries to remain faithful to the book, many steps were taken to make the game more enjoyable. The first most obvious difference between the two is the addition of an eleventh guest, Patrick Narracott.Another major difference is visible throughout the game. In the novel, a poem named "Ten Little Indians" served as a prophecy to the guests as they met their doom. In the game, however, this has been changed to "Ten Little Sailor Boys" in order to be politically correct.
The final most major difference (though not noticed until the very end of the game) is altering the killer's identity and motive. This was done to build up the suspense in the game.
