Synopsis

As Sherlock Holmes, you must solve a number of complex crimes and try to stay alive in the process!

The game was hugely ambitious, featuring an advanced version of Melbourne House's Inglish language first seen in The Hobbit. Sherlock featured more interactive characters that moved about and could be questioned about their knowledge of the various cases. The game also required the player to figure out how to move about London using hansom cabs and the train system.

To an even larger extent than The Hobbit, Sherlock became infamous for its number of bugs and unwanted side effects to its various advanced features.
