One of the best, if not The Best, Sherlock Holmes of all time. A great point and click adventure of the greatest detective of all time. I'm still angry that the game crashed back in the day and could never get to the ending, so I hope GOG does it's magic and allows me to finally finish it.

Near the end of the game, it crashed on my PC in 1997. I was 14 years old and never got to finish it myself. It was one of my favorite games back in those days.

I remember being 8 years old, and my uncle, who died a few years after, gifted me this awesome game. This game brings back many memories of fantastic afternoons playing with the family. Please, bring it back!

One of the best adventures during the late gold age of adventure games and THE best Sherlock games of all time. Any Sherlock game before and after Rose Tattoo were never even close to this game.

This is most likely the best Holmes game ever made. Saddly enough, it is impossible to play to it now. Many of the games you recover are popular enough among people in their late 20s, early 30s. But this one is different: not many people under 35 today had the chance to play it, they missed it. It was a central game for the first generation of gamers. And you are the only ones who can save it !
