Last update: 11 May 2016

Exploration

Thoroughly examine all locations - there are no hot spots in this game, so you need to be observant. Not all actions are necessary to move game plot forward and these one are often scored by ego points or trophies, so it is good to not miss them.

Puzzles

There are a lot puzzles in which you need to open some objects (chests, cabinets, safes and other secret hidings) by choosing the right code. Observe them (in the zoom) from all angles - hints are often found on these objects or in their closest surrounding.

Objectives

The bookmark in the bottom right corner is opening your inventory, notebook, little grey cells and your objectives. Objectives are telling you what to do next, but by doing only that you can easily miss some other actions which are scored. It is worth to know that if are going to some place and you don't know where it is - just follow Hastings, he always finds the right door.

Little grey cells

Hercule ask himself questions and give the answers. Wait as all the clues are available, and the best is if detective by himself decide that is time for use little grey cells.

Ego points

For thinking and acting like Hercule Poirot you will get ego points. Remember during choosing dialogues' options that he is a man of very logical mind. Also, is good to know that Hercule is very vain - with a little obsession about his moustache (don't miss any mirror) and very curious what press is writing about him. Do not forget also about his love to symmetry and tidiness (so if there's occasion to tidy up or improve an object's alignment , don't hesitate).

Trophies

There are 50 trophies that you can get in this game. List of all trophies you will find in the last chapter of this guide. You can get a trophy by choosing right questions during questioning but also by doing mistakes. By trophies you will be rewarded also for making observations, solving puzzles and many other actions which aren't necessary to ending the game. Some of the trophies you will get automatically by playing. There is no way that you can't get them all by playing the game only once, because some of them are exceptive.

Pause menu

By choosing an icon in the upper left corner or by pushing Esc key you will get into pause menu, from where you can quit game and skip the cut scenes. Also, there is a clue system. Use it when you have absolutely no idea what to do next, because it is not just simply a clue but it makes Hercule to execute an action automatically.
