1898, London. All the evidence of police investigation points at
Sherlock Holmes as the main suspect in a case involving theft,
fraud and double-crossings. Unable to prove his own innocence,
Holmes is rapidly losing London’s trust as doubt spreads through
the city like wildfire. Even Doctor Watson's faith in his friend
begins to waver, as the famous detective flees Scotland Yard and
raises further suspicion; prowling around at night, destruction
of evidence... would Holmes go so far as to commit murder?
A mainstay genre of console games, The New Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes is playable with a gamepad in a third person
view, with controls thought and specially developed with
