Summary:

Step into the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London and become the world’s greatest consulting detective. And remember: when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth…

In this dynamic pick-your-own-path adventure, you are the brilliant, eccentric and relentlessly logical detective Sherlock Holmes – and you have a fiendishly tangled mystery to unravel. Every decision you make will steer the investigation down a different path as you explore Victorian London’s fog-shrouded streets, shadowy opium dens and grand townhouses.

Each chapter presents crucial choices: will you confront a criminal mastermind head-on or infiltrate their organization? Examine a crucial clue or pursue a fleeing suspect? Trust a nervous witness or grill them until they crack?
Daniel Smith will show you how the decisions you make will shape the investigation, determining not only who is guilty but whether justice is truly served. Make the wrong call, and the culprit may walk free or an innocent life may be ruined. Choose wisely, and you’ll unravel a conspiracy worthy of Holmes’ greatest canon cases.
