After a rich heiress is killed, Agatha Christie's famous detective, Hercule Poirot finds himself in the right place at the right time to investigate the crime with a boatful of murder suspects onboard the S.S. Karnak as it floats serenely down the Nile. Can the Belgian detective find the culprit before they reach port?

"We are thrilled to bring the timeless and thoroughly entertaining stories of Agatha Christie to interactive life," says Don Ryan, vice president of Publishing for Oberon Media, parent of Oberon Games. "The Agatha Christie stories and her audience are a perfect fit for casual games, and we know that both mystery buffs and casual gamers will be delighted with Death on the Nile."
