Rating Summary
This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Sherlock Holmes as he investigates several mysteries/crimes. Players follow a storyline, search crime scenes, collect clues, and interview suspects/witnesses in order to solve the cases (e.g., murders, disappearances, thefts). Murder scenes depict beaten or mutilated corpses as well as large amounts of blood. One sequence allows players to perform an autopsy; other scenes involve clinical depictions of bruises, cuts, and evidence of foul play. A handful of scenes contain instances of violence: a character shooting himself in the head with a pistol; a woman drinking poison to commit suicide. One storyline involves an opium den which contains pipes, balls of the drug, and a brief depiction of white powder described as being “like cocaine.”
