A little buggy

[myrealnameisMeg]

Having some movement bugs - Detective Poirot gets stuck a lot between corners and trying to change locations. Also, in the museum - items are not labeled correctly. I've added the screenshots.

[Doctor Hades]

Bought this due to my interest in detective game, including Agatha Cristie.

So far, the game seems interesting, the voice-acting and writing are surprisingly good, but seems to have a bizarre issue where the game with speed up, literally double or triple in speed, if I press a key on the keyboard while using the mouse. This breaks the lip sync animation of the characters you speak to, making them look as if they are practicing ventriloquism, and causes Poirot to walk at 2X to 3X his normal speed!!! It also makes looking at clues difficult since the mouse point becomes uber-twitchy. Exiting to the menu and Continue fixes it straight away and sometimes it seems to fix itself but I am surprised that this was not picked up during testing as what PC game doesn't use keys at some point?

Apart from that major gaff, I have also noticed a lack of shadows in the game, which looks strange given how detailed everything else is. Also, the character models are fine but when they're talking it can be distracting as their mouths are not modelled properly with some characters missing tongues and even teeth!!! Yes, it might sound pedantic but considering that one of the main gameplay elements is talking to other people then it seems to be an odd oversight as you spend a lot of time looking at these character models.

I get it, it's not a big budget game and that is fine given the pricing but I really hope the developers can address these issues, especially the game speed up bug which happens far to often and is really tarnishing the game for me at the moment. I want to focus on the gameplay and mystery rather than these bugs...
