Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express
The Adventure Company and Chorion, the owners of the rights to Christie's works, chose Agatha Christie's novel "Murder on the Orient Express", widely considered the author's "magnum opus", as the basis for the next game in the "Agatha Christie series". AWE Productions had little influence in the choice, other than being asked for an opinion. Sheldon created a concept document for the new game and sent it to Chorion, who sent it back with some suggestions. Sheldon agreed to some of these, but refused others. Chorion was generally more comfortable with the development team for their second outing. They did not have to scrutinize every aspect of the game as with "And Then There Were None", and generally had fewer complaints with "Murder on the Orient Express", as opposed to its predecessor.
