Eliminating the impossible, embracing the improbable




Four Sherlock Holmes games, chronicling the point'n'click exploits of the brilliant consulting detective, are available now, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 60% launch discount if purchased individually or 80% as part of the <span class="bold">221b Baker Street</span> bundle.

The somber sound of a deftly played violin spills in from the adjacent room. Sherlock must be in a mood again. The good doctor takes another look at the notebook where he keeps records of his dear friend's most spectacular adventures. Hmm, which one should he write about in an attempt to lift his spirits?

Maybe about <span class="bold">The Awakened</span>. This is where they faced a sinister cult worshiping terrible gods and had to unravel a downward spiral of senseless brutality and madness. The recollection still gives Watson shivers.

What about that time when the ultimate puzzle-solver met his <span class="bold">Nemesis</span>, as he engaged in a mental duel with the legendary gentleman thief Arsene Lupin?

Perhaps he can write about how they chased the infamous <span class="bold">Jack the Ripper</span> through the seedy Whitechapel district, while painstakingly examining those horrible murder scenes.

He is somewhat reluctant to recount <span class="bold">The Testament of Sherlock Holmes</span>. A thrilling case to be sure, but also one that revealed his companion's darker side, as he was fighting to clear his name of some truly vile accusations.

This is harder than he thought. See, they are all so chock-full of suspense, brilliant brain teasers, fateful encounters, and picturesque locales. Perhaps it's time to consult the charismatic man in the other room. After all, this is how they managed to tackle all those challenges in the first place: as a team.




Exercise your crime-solving skills in four adventures featuring the legendary Sherlock Holmes, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 60/80% discounts for <span class="bold">221b Baker Street</span> will last for the duration of the Bundleopolis Sale.
Very interesting, and something of a curveball. I know virtually nothing about these. Are these any good? I assume they're point & click adventures.

Grargar: We can't be missing something that hasn't been released yet. :P
That's right, but I strongly assume we will not get it on its release in June. ;)

Testament is a real burner, since it wasn't available without DRM before today. I hope we will see a release of Crime & Punishment in the future as well.

It's the official first Holmes game by Frogwares (and a very bad one, too).

No The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes? Bummer.
TRUE old games (with ScummVM support), unlike those one which are already on Steam.

omega64: Thanks, guess we're not all that far behind when you compare it to Assassin's Creed. :P
Also, as great as the series became with The Awakened, The Mystery of the Mummy, is, err... not very good.
When it comes to detectives in games, I prefer Tex Murphy. :)

Oh, OK. Then I have not played all of them but I won't bother with it. :-)

Nemesis is different name for Arsene Lupin so we have this one. :-)

No Consulting Detective Sherlock games? Those would have been perfect for gog.
