Synopsis

Plot

Amid the upheaval following World War I, Holmes and Watson enter history to take "Another Bow." To bring you aboard the S.S. Destiny, where you set sail back into time, this adventure-mystery uses highly advanced computer intelligence and an interactive vocabulary which exceeds 2,000 words.

A meticulously researched work of historical fiction, this mystery includes many cases, dozens of graphic screens derived from early 20th century art and photography, and an authentic map and passenger list drawn from the archives of the National Maritime Museum.

You are Sherlock Holmes, with Watson at your side, passing through the world of Edison and Graham Bell, acquainting yourself with the genius of Picasso and Gertrude Stein, while Henry Ford, Baron de Rothschild, Lady Astor, Louis Armstrong and other real and imaginary stars of the past parade across this interactive stage. With cases as complex as history itself, "Another Bow" adds the premier interactive chapter to the tradition of Holmesian literature.
