I liked the game. The plot is interesting, i liked the music and the voice acting of the characters. But it is difficult, at least for me. I would not have passed without hints.
If you play adventure games for puzzles, this isn't it. It is a pixel hunter, sometimes you literally have to extinguish every possibility, however useless, in order to progress. I will award 2 stars for the overall atmosphere, but the gameplay is just bad.
Got to the swiss asylum were i lost the game and had to reload a save.. that save was in the beginning of the game... 5 hours of puzzle solving gone -_- taking a long break from this game
A good adventure game and a very interesting take on a Sherlock Holmes' type of case; the mix with the Cthulhu mythos worked amazingly. However, I found it not to be as good as its sucessor, 'Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper'. Midway through the game, the actions and the puzzles became mostly sorely unintuitive; in order to interact and/or pick up some objects, you had to perform a specific series of actions, even if you already knew what to do; it was very frustrating. The puzzles in the last part were a mixed bag as well; some of them required mathematical knowledge (which I do not possess), others wanted you to know things I believe you had no way of knowing beforehand or were mentioned way back - such as the symbol of the Old Ones -, and the Scotland map puzzle was absolutely ridiculous; the map was immense and you had to ciick on a VERY specific point in it in order to continue. With the Remastered version came a strategy guide, but I found it to be mostly useless, what with it being awfully vague. It was a shame really, since the ambience, the music, the art and the voice acting were mostly lovely. Although the dark element of the Cthulhu mythos was very welcome and well done, I felt the story could have gone deeper - it felt as if the huge amount of gory and bloody elements were just there to shock.
