Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008)
Description
In the third case, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusted assistant, Dr. Watson, are investigating a mysterious kidnapping case.
Almost immediately, they are confronted by a formidable organization that worships a primal god, Cthulhu. This bloodthirsty sect seems to be ready to do anything in order to carry out its mysterious work against which only the great detective has the strength to fight.
It is up to you to uncover the threat that is menacing humankind; it is up to you to stop the activities of this organization!
A story which melds Holmes’ rationalism with H.P. Lovecraft’s supernaturalism, “The Awakened” leads you from the undergrounds of London to the isolated summits of Switzerland, from the sweltering bayou of New Orleans to the dense Scottish fog…
Guaranteed thrills.

so fun!
I know they just re-mastered this again, and I'm about to play that incarnation. But I have to say this one is extremely fun as well. As we're fans of good, yet "old" games, I'm sure you too understand the importance of good story writing, and it's endurance through the years in spite of having "outdated" graphics (which, incidentally, I don't mind at all). If you like true Adventure games, please give this (and frankly all of the Frogwares Sherlock Holmes games) a try.

Good entertainment
some parts are too obvious some other too clunky for modern gamers but it does keep you interested for a solid 10 hours

Cruel trash
Totally ininspired game, cheaply made and needlessly bloody. Worst adventure I played on GOG so far.

Masterpiece
This game is really a masterpiece from frogware. A must for the fans of sherlock and lover of the tv-show from 1984 to 1994. You can play in third person view with point & click gameplay or in First person immerssive gameplay ( just click on your mouse wheel to switch between views ) . tips : press spacebar to highlight interactives items, and click on interrogation point on your invzentory to obtain hints if you are blocked. The story take place in a lovecraftian lore. Can't wait for the upcoming reboot.
