Overall good game but some tiny objects bring the game's rating down
Mmmm this is a bit different, game.
For those of you thinking this is a hound of the baskervilles type game it's not. It's even different to a lot of the other style Sherlock Holmes games. And to those thinking it's an old style hidden object game - with traditional hidden object scenes it's not that either.
I like that there is a timed/untimed option, that there is 3 different difficulties of play. There is an option that you can manually put in for your resolution. I changed mine to a lower resolution and it did make the black bars at the side smaller which was good.
I don't even look at this like an old pure adventure game.
But put this in a more interactive mystery book type game. As you do have to read and follow the story.
I lOVE that the hidden object scenes are not junk pile but part of the story. I will forgive a game most anything if there are no junk pile scenes. And it's a find shape of items not word list, but when you click on shape it will tell you what it is. Some are very hard to find, but with patience most I did find. Playing on a laptop pulled close did help!
I don't think the puzzles are particular hard but some like the painting are just tedious. Some are more of the traditional adventure game variety, you have to think for some of them! I also like that they are unlocked when you play them, so you can go into the menu and replay them.
For those that like stories, or something different with some nice puzzles then this is a check out game.
I really enjoyed it.
tech wise no problem from me I have nvidia card, windows 7 64 bit.
pros - Interactive hidden object scenes (got to uncover things to get to some items)
- unlocked puzzles
- no junk pile H O scenes
-great story, got to think
-more difficult puzzles
cons -
- Some of those objects are really tiny, I did get most with adjusting lighting and patience, and hints
-needed more skip options for puzzles
-deduct board, got a bit tedious

Too hard for me but an experienced gamer might enjoy
This is not a simple hidden object game from Frogwares; the graphics, artwork & music mirror all the other Sherlock Holmes games from this developer. As ever the game is beautifully drawn & there are many types of puzzles to solve & it is extremely challenging to play.
There is no voiceover but quite a lot of dialogue which is clickable but still quite slow.
There are 3 modes, Casual, Detective & Adventure; I used Casual in the demo as I do not have the expertise to play in the harder modes. Once you get past the initial scenes in the game you will find 3 icons at the top left of the screen, a picture of Holmes which returns you to Baker Street to analyse, deduce, etc, a map to move to areas as they open up & a hat which is Scotland Yard where you look at witness testimonies, crime reports, etc.
You only get 3 hints per level & you cannot earn more so you may need to resort to a walkthrough more often than you would like.
You will have to find objects in a scene & identify them from a silhouette although if you hover your cursor over the object you will be given its name, e.g blood stain. Many of the items were extremely small & an inbuilt magnifying glass would have been really useful but unfortunately you have to strain your eyes instead. As there are so few hints it is made more difficult.
There are also puzzles through the game but there is a limited number that can be skipped, seven in casual mode & only three in the other modes of play. Some of the items that you find are also puzzles; you select an item & drag it over the puzzle icon (looks like a jigsaw piece). The puzzle icon will turn a golden colour when all the puzzles in a location have been solved.
This was altogether too confusing for me but perhaps more advanced gamers may find it easy to play.

Disappointing
I really didn't like this one at all. Dark, small objects and some places very difficult.
