How it feels

You methodically examine 3D recreations of Victorian London, gathering clues and solving puzzles at your own pace while tracking a clever thief.

What players say

Players are split on this early Frogwares Sherlock game. Many enjoy the first-person perspective and the London setting, but most agree the puzzles are often obtuse and the environments are too large, making item-hunting tedious. The bird puzzle is a notorious low point, and some players report performance stuttering.
