Rough around the edges, and some bad puzzles, but this is an atmospheric detective adventure that actually lets you do some detecting.

best one yet

Frogwares has outdone itself. Actual detective work requires the player to reach their own conclusions and deduce the final answer.

Good but buggy

This is leagues better than some of the previous Frogwares Sherlock Holmes games and is genuinely a fun time but I found it super buggy. It's prone to hanging/crashing on loading screens and for me it always crashed before the fifth case so I literally can't complete it.
