No murder can be prevented for instance, as that would disrupt the overall story, and the way the game stops you from interfering in the plot is poorly done.
For instance, you can't pick up an axe in a garden shed one of the yet-to-be-used murder weapons , as you're told that you'd be thought insane to be walking around with an axe. However, that doesn't stop you walking around with a giant stepladder, a garden hose, a shovel, half-a-dozen drinking glasses, a gramophone record, silk sheets, a large basket of apples, a stone cheese wheel, etc, etc If the internal logic isn't enough to dissuade you, then the game's interface most definitely will.
One item on a table can't be picked up as the player's character informs you: "I'm no packrat. The movement paths are tortuous, as are conversational scripts. Text can't be skipped, which may be fine for a dramatic piece of dialogue, but is eminently frustrating when you're having to wait for your character to lengthily tell you that you can't do something for the umpteenth-millionth time. All have been complicit in the deaths of other human beings, but either escaped justice or committed an act that was not subject to legal sanction.
The guests and two servants who are present are "charged" with their respective "crimes" by a gramophone recording after dinner the first night, and informed that they have been brought to the island to pay for their actions. They are the only people on the island, and cannot escape due to the distance from the mainland and the inclement weather, and gradually all ten are killed in turn, each in a manner that seems to parallel the deaths in the nursery rhyme. Nobody else seems to be left alive on the island by the time of the apparent last death.
A confession, in the form of a postscript to the novel, unveils how the killings took place and who was responsible. It is Christie's best-selling novel; with more than million copies sold, it is also the world's best-selling mystery and one of the best-selling books of all time. Publications International lists the novel as the seventh best-selling title. Read By Hugh Fraser. Uploaded by Unknown on September 23, Internet Archive's 25th Anniversary Logo.

It tells the tale of 10 strangers brought to an island for a dinner party only to discover that they've been lured there under more mysterious motives by a character only known as U. Each of the characters is accused of murder direct or indirect by their host, and when people start dying, the real fun begins as characters begin scrambling for answers.
One by one, characters are picked off to coincide with the child's rhyme 'Ten Little Sailor Boys,' also known as 'Ten Little Indians' which I can only assume has been changed for PC politically correct, not personal computer reasons, and players will have to join in the soire, solving puzzles and watching the mystery unfold along the way.
Developer AWE Games have done a decent job creating an interesting adventure set around the happenings of Shipwreck Island though it's far from perfect. The main issue with this game is in the presentation of what is a fantastic written story. The original attempt at remaking the movie had similar challenges as the story in its entirety isn't exactly Hollywood friendly given it's macabre conclusion.
Instead, they wrapped it up with a smaller happier bow and blew the entire allure of the criminal mind behind the whole thing. This game does a bit of the same thing, even going so far as to fool with the murderer so that people who have read the book or watched any of the movie versions will still have some suspense about them. While I don't want to get into much detail, the ending is unfortunate, convoluted, and provides no believable motivation for killing these ten individuals.
I should mention that there are actually four separate endings depending on a few decisions made towards the end, all with basically the same outcome as the murderer is always the same.
Thankfully after beating the game, players have the opportunity to solve one last puzzle to see the original book ending to the story, which as I mentioned early The challenges up against the developers in creating a suspenseful and unique game based off of a well-loved piece of fiction were considerable. In that respect, I have to commend them on their effort. They did a pretty decent job here even with the ending throwing the package off.
The confines are fairly rigid in a project like this. Certain people have to die in a certain order and there are only a certain number of characters. The book only saw 10 people on the island during the course of events.
