Certainly a "Puzzle" game in name only. Aside from two puzzles that were actually engaging and one that was unreasonably hard in comparison to the rest on the game (played on hard), this game holds your hands and constantly praises you for doing ANYTHING in the game. This is a great game for someone in elementary school as aside from Call of Duty 4 music that keeps blaring in your ear non stop it is a fairly competently made game that would be fun for an hour or two for someone who isn't familiar with puzzle games. PS: getting inebriated and playing with someone also works, just don't expect much engagement treat it more like a show.

Absolutely insane take on the classic Holmes story, which is something I did not expect from Frogwares. Having said that, they have really done one of the most pleasant casual adventures around... if you turn off the music. The hint system works, the puzzles are just cumulative enough, and the plot is absolute nonsense that has very little to do with the original story, with Sherlock or with whatever, and this is laudatory.

Great game and love the story. I seem to be stuck in the painting where one needs to rub off the access, well it has become lazy and does not wish to work and I was getting my hopes up that finally I found a game that works. Steam and Valve are not much help lately when something is broken and I have a lot of them! To bad I was enjoying the game untill I got the glitch with the sponge and not wanting to wipe the paintiing clean!!

I haven't played many games in the hidden object genre since I was in grade school, but Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of The Baskervilles would have been adored by my younger self. The game is pretty straight-forward, and if you like hidden object games then you'll like this one. It leans far more into the supernatural than the original story does, and embellishes the story with dreamlike visuals that remind me of children's adventure books. All in all, I recommend this one if you want a quick game to spend your time on. I only have so many hours because I went after every achievement (I had nothing better to do).

STOP and ready this Now! THIS is exactly what a Big Fish, 5BN, Elephant, Artifex Mudavi game should be! It was beyond excellent. There was a story, the power-ups you earned had functions, every single item made perfect sense, no obscure puzzles, there weren't too many HOPs, you always knew what to do next, no backtracking, very long game with lots of locations, characters to guide you with just the right amount of dialog. Every other developer should be required to play this game to improve all the usual pitfalls. AMAZING 10 Stars!!!
