Also, we invite you to discover now the official website of the Testament of Sherlock Holmes, which opens its doors today! This website is the place to be to stay informed on the game. Offering much information about The Testament of Sherlock Holmes--its story, production, and even the very character imagined by Doyle--the website also opens a huge gallery of screenshots and videos. Here is another opportunity to discover more about the universe of the game before its release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in the beginning of 2012!

Sherlock Holmes causes a stir! For over ten years, millions of players have donned the hat and magnifying glass of the world’s greatest detective, in a dozen games for PC and handheld systems. This year, Sherlock Holmes makes a triumphant return in his very first adventure specially designed for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game consoles! All the mystery and intrigue will also be available on PC.

1898, London. All the evidence of police investigation points at Sherlock Holmes as the main suspect in a case involving theft, fraud and double-crossings. Unable to prove his own innocence, Holmes is rapidly losing London’s trust as doubt spreads through the city like wildfire. Even Doctor Watson's faith in his friend begins to waver, as the famous detective flees Scotland Yard and raises further suspicion; prowling around at night, destruction of evidence... would Holmes go so far as to commit murder?

A mainstay genre of console games, The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is playable with a gamepad in a third person view, with controls thought and specially developed with consoles in mind. The new game engine was also specially built to display complex scenes and high-resolution textures. The game features lush, captivating environments and truly raises the bar for console adventure games.

The complex and decidedly-mature storyline surrounds a particularly tricky investigation, in which each and every puzzle will challenge both insight and wits! As Sherlock Holmes, you will use the detective’s full repertoire: handle and inspect clues, reenact crimes and use the game’s new deduction system to draw your own conclusions. Choose your questioning approach to catch characters off guard and gather valuable information. Players are facing an open investigation, and must decide which leads to follow and which to ignore.

Hi thehood!

It's wonderful to see you stopping by! We know that Frogwares is unusually responsive to PC adventure gamers, especially in terms of the flexibility of the interface. I believe you are the only developer who responded to adventure gamers' concerns by revamping previous games to allow both first person and third person perspectives.

It's easy to be anxious about PC ports because of past experience with other games -- Dreamfall, for instance, where the interface and frequent loading screens (in the PC version) were clearly a result of the game having been developed for consoles.

I think we PC adventure gamers suffer from PTXS (post-traumatic-Xbox-syndrome).

"Every game is a different experience, and we believe this is where Sherlock Holmes character is interesting, proposing different realities and point of views, still keeping this unique look and irony of the great detective."

YES !!

I really enjoy your Sherlock games and am very much looking forward to this next one - and am also very appreciative of the way in which you take account of player opinions
