Artefacts Studio developed it and Microïds published it in February 2016 for Windows, Linux, Mac, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Switch followed in 2020, and Android in 2016. Wikipedia's section on differences says the game retains the main plot of the novel.
Read first?
01
When to read first
Read the novel first if you want to solve Christie's version. The game keeps that plot.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first only if this is the version you want and you will not read the book. A mystery told twice is a mystery once.
03
Why
Detective adaptations are simple to call. If the solution is the same, read the one you care about first. For Christie, that is the book.
