Evil Under The Sun features Hercule Poirot as the protagonist, it also features numerous improvements and expanded gameplay elements, with a new inventory system, dialogue choices, and more environments.

The game's plot follows Poirot as he investigates the murder of a noted actress on an island. It is divided into two sections: story-time, in which Poirot uncovers the secrets of Seadrift Island and real-time, in Poirot's office in London in which the player, as Captain Hastings, can request hints, review information and consult the locations of the suspects on a wall map.
