AND THEN THERE WERE NONE WALK THROUGH MOVIE
About half of the dialogue in the game is quoted directly from the book, the murders happen as they’re supposed to, and the layout of the house, and some of the activities you’re allowed to perform, are right out of the 1945 movie And Then There Were None. I mean, if you’re going to add in an extra character who wasn’t in the book, and if you’re going to add in some puzzles to make it into an adventure game, then what else might you do? In fact, at the start of the game it looked like developer Awe Games was going to make up all sorts of new stuff, as you find out things like that one of the guests is really a spy, that the British Navy used the island for some secret experiments, and that your character has a history with one of the other guests - none of which is in the book.But, surprisingly, And Then There Were None is pretty faithful to the source material. In the book, the boatman does his job and then leaves, but in the game somebody sabotages the boat after landing on shore, and so you’re stuck on the island along with the guests / victims.At this point you might guess that And Then There Were None would do what a lot of computer games do - that is, take great liberties with the subject matter. The game Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None uses the same premise as the book, but you play as Patrick Narracott, the boatman who takes the guests to the island. Then the people start dying in accordance to a nursery rhyme, and, as their numbers dwindle, they get more and more paranoid, finally turning on each other. In the story, ten people are invited to an island, only to have their host accuse them of murder via a recording. Fortunately, the book wasn’t about the title instead, the title referred to a nursery rhyme quoted in the story, and so the book only contained offensive words rather than offensive subject matter, and so it became one of Christie’s more popular works, generating half a dozen films (generally named And Then There Were None), countless stage plays, and now a computer game.Ten Little Indians is a dark thriller. In the UK it was published as Ten Little Niggers. Just to show you how long ago that was, and how different a time it was, Ten Little Indians was only the American title for the book.
