Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring

Given up, waste of money

There are endless issues with this game that did not exist in the version I had on disc many years ago. I could have forgiven the sprite errors, the adult voices from child characters, the odd use of english (that is neither correct for victorian english nor correct in modern terms) the magically growing characters that dont scale down as they walk away (leaving them taller than door frames in most rooms) the floating characters that are several feet off the floor and those that are visible through floors, and even the occasions when they walk through furniture and garden walls. I was briefly confused when I was forced to search for a key for a door that I had already opened, and when an open safe told me it was closed even as I was picking up the contents. But I have given up and uninstalled after trying to avoid a guard and a dog that are so far displaced from the position they are supposed to be on the birds eye view, that they walk OFF THE SCREEN and can still see me. Frustrating and disappointing considering how good some of the other Sherlock Holmes on GOG are.
