Developed by Blazing Griffon, Microids published Hercule Poirot: The First Cases two years ago, on this date. Inspired by the mystery novels by Agatha Christie, The First Cases depicts the early sleuthwork of an ambitious, young Belgian police officer.

Players are introduced to Hercule Poirot as his burgeoning skills are put to the test in investigating a series of crimes committed at the estate of the influential Van den Bosch family. As the stakes are raised, players are tasked with questioning deceptive suspects and gleaning crucial information without raising suspicions.

The First Cases Soundtrack, composed by Blazing Griffin music and sound designer Calum Robb, is currently available on both Steam and GOG. Verified for use with the Steam Deck, the narrative-driven title is playable on Windows and Mac operating systems. Console editions are available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and Series X|S.
