Watson! I have deduced something incredible--come and see! It’s evident that GOG.com is offering Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring for just $3.99 for the next 24 hours!

The deduction, my dear fellow, is most elementary: observe the slight scrape of mud on that man’s shoe, the color of the feather in that elderly woman’s hat, and the way that man in the red checked shirt is obsessively checking his pocket watch. What does that tell you? It’s obvious! It’s the third Wednesday of the month; GOG.com is running another Gaming Gem special sale, of course!

I have reasons to suppose that you and I, Watson, are the only ones that can solve this bizarre occurrence of the Silver Earring. Someone has been murdered and the killer is somewhere here at the Sherringford Hall mansion. In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backward. There are fifty who can reason synthetically for one who can reason analytically--and please let me say that I have the utmost confidence you’re up for the challenge of assisting me in this. Naturally, you must be familiar with how the modern instruments of investigation work--the gameplay here is entirely mouse-driven, using a point-and-click interface, and inventory system. You know my methods. Apply them.

Oh, and Watson! Before you leave to discover the Secret of the Silver Earring for only $3.99 on GOG.com, bear in this in mind: the special 60% discount on Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring is available only until Thursday 22 March, 11.59 AM GMT.
Hm, a game I don't already have, time to fix this.
Never heard of this one. Is it good?
Also, Watson, have you just seen how GOG made an EPIC discount on this game? Anyone will be able to buy it at this reduced price for more than 300 following days.
"only until Thursday 8 March, 7.59 AM GMT."

It's not bad, definitely worth a shot. Does a lot of things right, some other things just feel a bit amateur.

As long as you don't expect a traditional inventory based point and click, and don't mind a bit of a slow paced game I found there was enough in there to enjoy.

Come on, its only $4 you really can't go wrong.
Brilliantly average.
Crap!
I don't have any money for the moment, and this game has stand on my wishlist for a while now. It's would have been a wonderful opportunity to buy it.

Watson was sitting in the toilet ("loo" in GB) constipated. Mr Holmes asked him gingerly from behind the door:

- Watson, are you having some problems, is the loo still occupied?

Watson shouted back annoyed:

- No shit, Sherlock!


I have the game already BTW.

You just stole 10 seconds of my life reading that. I want them back!
I am a fan of the Sherlock Holmes games both past and present. Though not perfect buy any means they are certainly entertaining and somewhat engaging. I already have this title but I encourage others who aren't sure about to give it a go now, there really isn't that much to lose at this price.

Well, that depends or your tastes. Graphics are pretty good, but the game requires "pixel hunting", and I really mean PIXEL.

I bought this game a long time ago, because I liked the previous game in the series (generally considered worse). I was really liking it, but one of the "new" "features" is a series of questions at the end of each chapter. I flunked it at the first try in the first chapter and just pushed the game away. I will surely pick it again "one of these days".

So, in my short experience, I would say it is a good game, but can be very annoying. At this reduced price I think it is worth a try.
