What players say

Players praise the Lovecraft-detective crossover but are split on the supernatural elements, with some feeling it clashes with a pure Sherlock Holmes game. Many note the short length and lack of side content, while the rushed ending is a common criticism. The deduction system and linearity are seen as improvements in pacing, though the game can still be frustratingly particular.
