About

As I embarked on a tranquil voyage along the Nile, little did I know that my gaming time would be interrupted by an unspeakable crime. Fortunately, the legendary detective Hercule Poirot was also onboard, ready to unravel this mystery. Simultaneously, another sleuth, Jane Royce, was hot on the trail of a ruthless killer, taking her from the cobblestone streets of London to the sun-kissed shores of Majorca, the bustling cityscape of New York, and eventually to Egypt. Their investigations would cross paths at Abu Simbel, where together they’d piece together an intricate puzzle filled with unexpected twists and turns. Yet, even for seasoned Agatha Christie fans, the story remains shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
