A tense, cerebral investigation game where you methodically gather clues and interrogate suspects in a richly detailed Victorian London setting.

What players say

Players appreciate the varied puzzles and faithful portrayal of Holmes as an arrogant rule-breaker, but point out dated controls and finicky object interaction. The story is engaging though puzzles can feel illogical, and the alternating perspectives between Holmes and Watson are a highlight.
