Murder On The Links
A downloadable game
First Agatha Christie Golf Visual Novel! First (and last?) Agatha Playdate game with a golf user interface!
Cranking moves to different sections such as:
clue * suspect * examine * talk * read * look *
Press B to explore each option on each different level.
(It's a lot of reading as this is an interactive visual Novel).
Press B to also go through any text messages as well.
To get to the next sections, crank and then hit A to swing the club!
Goal is to get 16 points (each hole only allows for a hole in one) and solve the mystery!
At the end crank to find a suspect then press A to finish the game with hopefully the
right suspect!!!!

Is this just an Agatha Christie novel in playdate game form.
it's a visual novel where you crank to get further clues, notes, chats, and so forth (B button). Plus to go to next level crank (with A button) to also try to get hole in one on the links!
That didn’t really answer my question, as that was already pretty clear by reading the description.
The developer's description and comment answer your question. This is not "just an Agatha Christie novel in playdate game form." This is a visual novel that uses a control interface and gameplay mechanics you'd typically find in a golf game. This is a marriage of both gaming concepts, visual novel and golf game. If you're looking for a golf game, this probably isn't it. If you like Agatha Christie and golf games, this may be up your alley.
Yes what pjpj13 said! Lots o' work went into merging the crank to show related clues and letters, keeping within the concept of golf (since the story takes place around golfing as in description) more interactive than just a novel but is story based if that hopefully helps.
