Authentic and ambitious, but flawed
Despite how janky it is, this is a surprisingly enjoyable game for the most part. I found myself getting into the gameplay loop and the mystery. Still, it's a difficult one to recommend and it has some serious issues working against it. This list may seem harsh, but... - The 3D characters are difficult to move around the environment, often not responding to mouse clicks until you manoeuvre them just right. - Awful pixel hunting for clues and hotspots that are very obscured. - Terrible voice acting for most of the characters. - No subtitles during cutscenes. - A lot of translation issues for the English version making some things difficult to understand, possibly unsolvable. - The interface can be unintuitive, especially when you are randomly expected to use items together with nothing to indicate that's needed. - Difficult to read documents due to the handwriting fonts used. - A couple of very difficult puzzles that defied reasonable explanation. - A very unenjoyable "quiz" needed to complete each day, which requires you to match up clues to statements. And you can't progress until you get everything exactly right. - A maze puzzle combined with a time limit. No, thank you! - Dialogue text font is Comic Sans 😮 You'd think with all that the game would be irredeemable, and yet I found an authentic Sherlock Holmes experience in here that I got caught up in. I enjoyed finding the clues and piecing things together. The game flows well enough and doesn't last too long, and personally I also feel some nostalgia for this era of PC gaming so I kind of warmed to it all. The game ends with a long (very long) cutscene that puts everything together, and it's very complicated. I don't think I followed it all that well, but the journey there was fun.
