The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
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.
