How it feels

A slow, methodical puzzle hunt set in a cozy Victorian flat, where you click through crime scenes and piece together clues at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players are split on this early Sherlock Holmes game. Some find it a decent hidden object title, while others call it tedious pixel hunting with no zoom, a frustrating pipe puzzle, and a repetitive lab table. It feels more like a hidden object game than a detective story.
