On the whole, this is a decent game for Sherlock Holmes fans and people who enjoy the Victorian period in general. It really isn't much of a game, but the story carries it so well it doesn't need to be... until the developers try to force gamehood upon it.

Grab a walkthrough or something and get this one on the cheap, and you're good for several hours of fun watching Sherlock solve a deeply baffling case. People who actually like to play their mystery games, though, can take a pass here.
