Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile demo launched during Steam Next Fest
Microids Studio Lyon has posted the story trailer for Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile, planned for release later this year. A playable demo is now available for Windows through Steam, launched during Steam Next Fest.

A reimagining of the celebrated fiction novel starring Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, the game is set in Egypt in the 1970s. Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile will launch for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles, along Windows through Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.

David Chomard, CEO of the development studio, comments, "We have raised the level of difficulty with more complex puzzles and offered more freedom in the progression of the investigation. In addition, the adventure weaves the stories of Hercule Poirot and Jane Royce, the new detective, even more closely together."

Microids' previously developed Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express features a music score composed by Jean-Luc Briançon, assisted by Roman Perreton, and in collaboration with many guest musicians at Studio Nuage7. The album is streaming on Apple Music and YouTube Music.


From the Steam product page:
In Death on the Nile, a peaceful cruise on the Nile is disrupted by a terrible crime. Thankfully, famous detective Hercule Poirot is onboard. Meanwhile, a private detective is tracking a murderer, leading her from London to Majorca, New York, and finally to Egypt.

The two investigations collide at Abu Simbel. The dynamic duo will solve a complex case full of twists and turns. But the story doesn’t end with the book, and it still holds many mysteries and twists, even for Agatha Christie fans.
