On 22 November 2007, Peril at End House, like Death on the Nile, was adapted into a PC game by Flood Light Games, and published as a joint venture between Oberon Games and Big Fish Games, with the player once again taking the role of Poirot as he searches End House and other areas in Cornwall Coast for clues, and questions suspects based on information he finds, this time through the clue cards he gains on the way.

Among the eight player pieces that are included, four are shaped as boys and four are modeled as girls. A stack of ten "Clue" cards consists of 2 key cards, 4 person cards (the Butler, the Chauffeur, the Cook, and the Maid), and 4 item cards (the letter, the map, the photos, and the tape). In addition are 2 dice and an optional stack of 9 "Turn" cards. It is also recommended that players have something to write down all the clues that the electronic organizer gives out during the course of the game.

Forensics sees players investigating crimes; going between the crime scene and the lead character's offices where the body and evidence are collected ranging from clues on the corpse to witness testimony. The player gathers clues represented as cards, with different cards combining to create either new clues or solid evidence, and question-answer segments which can produce further clue cards and evidence. Two difficulties are available from the start, "Intern" and "Resident", with a higher difficulty dubbed "Specialist" available after the game's completion. Depending on their performance during each chapter, players are ranked and higher ranks unlock new content.

Prior to computerization, library tasks were performed manually and independently from one another. Selectors ordered materials with ordering slips, cataloguers manually catalogued sources and indexed them with the card catalog system (in which all bibliographic data was kept on a single index card), fines were collected by local bailiffs, and users signed books out manually, indicating their name on clue cards which were then kept at the circulation desk. Early mechanization came in 1936, when the University of Texas began using a punch card system to manage library circulation. While the punch card system allowed for more efficient tracking of loans, library services were far from being integrated, and no other library task was affected by this change.
