sherlock holmes written by hp lovecraft instead of ac doyle?

This pains me so much to do this but this game is so ♥♥♥♥, it makes Ride to Hell Retrobation(i know i spelt it wrong) look decent. This game gets a 3.5 out of 10. That's cause it's a point and click, but you have a first person perpective option. WHY THE HELL YOU WOULD CHANGE SOMETHING I LOVED ABOUT THIS GAME INTO PURE MOLTEN HATE. Also they added people walking around on the streets now. I DON'T WANT THAT. I LOVED NOT SEEING ANYONE. IT MADE ME ♥♥♥♥ MYSELF MANY O' TIMES. I hate this game now. I liked it before. If you like first person puzzle games that are so hard, go get it I guess. If you like point and click, go ♥♥♥♥ing nuts with this seires.

Game is bugged where at the point it won't let you finish. Making multiple saves before the bug doesn't seem to help at all.

If you are a Sherlock Holmes junky like me, go ahead and buy it for giggles. Otherwise this game was heavy on gore and game mechanics, not so much with story. Watson is mostly stupid in this game, unlike the originals, and follows you around and gets in your way. It is nice to vent your frustrations on him, but they could have done without him entirely. It's not really a whodunit game where you are shocked at the end, like the original stories, it's more like "oh there is a guy who is the perpetrator, lets solve more annoying puzzles and search for rediculously small hints." The puzzles themselves didn't really make you think hard, it just kinda made you feel stupid. XD The difficulty of this game was moderate to hard, but it comes with a hint system that was built in, which is a pro. The voice acting for Sherlock is nice as well, along with his lovely top hat he wears on occation... But overall the game just sucks. Don't waste the money, and more importantly, the time on it.

"I have no reason to go there"

I've been enjoying the modern reimaginings of Sherlock on CBS (Elementary) and the even better BBC series. So, when the Sherlock collection went on sale on Steam, I decided to give it a try. Of course, this game portrays the original Sherlock Holmes.

This is mostly typical point-and-click adventure fare and puzzles, with a little more than the usual pixel hunting due to the forensic nature of the story. For a game created in 2006 and then "remastered" in 2008, the production values are low, but the voice acting is pretty good. There are a few brain teasers thrown in, which can be difficult, but there is a built-in hint system. The game requires a little bit of deductive reasoning, but it falls short of making you feel like Sherlock. All too often, you gather all the evidence only to have Holmes pull it all together in a cut scene. The story is kinda slow, but it comes together nicely in the end. All in all, not a bad game, but not great either.
