The graphics, the illusion of freeroaming gloomy Victorian London, the suspense, the perfectly captured essence of Conan Doyle's stories and finally being Sherlock bloody Holmes. This game had it all and I miss it dearly

Atmospherically dense and very appealingly scored game with atmospheric graphics and good dialogue. I loved this one when I was a kid, but I never solved the case. Now it's one of my all-time favorites. One of the most immersive adventures I've ever played.

A point and click a little ahead of its time - with little minigames such as Darts added for immersion. Really let you inhabit the character of Sherlock Holmes. I probably still have it on CD-ROM and was a nightmare to run back in the day, but worth the time and perseverance.

Warm and cozy. This is what this game reminds me of. I had such an amazing time playing this back in the days. I was mesmerized with the sound, the story, the colours, the atmosphere and, of course, the personalities of Sherlock and Watson. I remember printing the "journal" with all the dialogs of the game. Wonderful point n' click masterpiece!
Iremember this being one of the best Sherlock Games that I have played and I would love to experience it again thanks to GOG, one really good detective game too.
This was my first computer game my parents bought me! I so miss this game. I loved this game so much as a kid! I remember not getting off the family computer because i wanted to beat this game so bad. Unfortunately, someone stole my game :( please bring this game back!!!
