It may not be perfect or groundbreaking, but it’s an adventure game with a surprisingly engaging story. If you're a fan of the genre and can overlook some clunky controls and dated visuals, it's a solid experience worth checking out.

A good game in terms of solving puzzles and finding objects like in a quest room, the locations are also good. Of the minuses, there are a couple of small bugs with animations, but in such games it is not critical.

I was able to finish the game without any crashes! maybe because I have a potato pc at the moment :D I found the gameplay mechanics a bit rigid in my opinion for a detective game, everything is almost focused on interacting with the environment with very little thinking and deduction. The story is interesting and coherent but you have to try to finish the game quickly otherwise you lose the course of events. There is a lot of puzzles too much maybe.. and sometimes they are frustrating and you don't understand what to do to advance without any hints..and if you dont want to use the concentration mode you will loose a lot of time, but overall it's not a big problem. I liked this opus but clearly it's not the best of the series. 6/10

It's not much, but it's honest work Pros: - Its a Sherlock Holmes game, the lore is amazing - The amount of puzzles Cons: - Moving around sucks, there's no fluidity at all - Puzzles sometimes can be too hard For a 2011 game it's a nice experience, relaxing and easy going.
