Third Person

"Opening the box presented a pleasant surprise. The book And Then There Were None was included!

"ATTWN is divided in 10 chapters, one for each verse of Ten Little Sailor Boys. The game is slightly non-linear. Several puzzles can be solved at any time, while there are also puzzles that don’t need to be solved at all, and unfortunately, some of the best puzzles of the game fall under this category...Doing the non-mandatory puzzles helps provide more insight into the story, as well as some side-stories, as more is revealed about each person’s secrets and dark pasts.

"The difficulty level of the puzzles is not set very high, although it does not reach the childishly easy levels of - for example - Syberia or Nibiru. The way implemented to combine items along with the fact that there are no obvious hotspots for using items raise the difficulty bar higher, and newer adventurers that have started with games that offer everything on a silver platter may feel uncomfortable in the beginning.

"The length of the game is within current expectations, i.e. much shorter than past adventure games. Although it starts off as if it would be a slightly long game, the pace quickens about halfway through, with the last 5 chapters flying by.

"Overall, And Then There Were None is an enjoyable, albeit easy adventure. It does earn points by never insulting the players’ intelligence by allowing them to randomly click through the game...One feels that there could have been more gameplay-wise though - as well as several bugs and imperfections avoided – which makes me suspect that the game was rushed somewhat for the holiday season."
