Explore 19th Century London through the eyes of Sherlock Holmes


Quote:
Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis is a new adventure game for PC that takes place in 19th century London. Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. Watson must solve puzzles to stop French gentleman burglar Arsène Lupin from stealing priceless objects from five famous London locations. Providing the player pays close attention to detail, the path to Lupin’s undoing is elementary.

The game starts at the famous 221B Baker Street address in Marylebone where Sherlock Holmes receives a letter from Lupin, challenging the London detective to foil his latest robbery. To complete the mission and stop Lupin in his tracks, players must explore Holmes’ neighbourhood, trawling Glentworth Street and Melcombe Street to find clues, even meeting the locals at Barnes bookstore and the Golden Lion pub.



For screenshots from the game, click here. Note: this is the same game as Sherlock Holmes versus Arsène Lupin.


Quote:
Famous London landmarks are rendered in accurate historic detail, including the National Gallery, where players can view faithfully recreated works of art from all over Europe. Holmes will also need to peruse the exhibits of the Egyptian and Babylonian Halls in the British Museum. The mystery will eventually take Holmes to the Tower of London, where he must scour the renowned Bloody Tower and dungeons.

Play as Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and even Inspector Lestrade in the race to stop one of literature’s most notorious crooks. The quest requires interaction in real-time 3D with more than 40 characters on Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson’s travels, including a very private interview with the Queen of England.


The game will release in the UK on May 16, 2008. For more information, visit the website. For the GameBoomers review by Inferno, click here.

The game is really intriguing. The riddles and puzzles are really challenging and some of them are really difficult. Moreover, the scene with queen Victoria is quite bizzare!! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. luck

If this is the version for England, where was the Sherlock Holmes vs. Arsene Lupin that I got from InteractCD published?

Jenny100 -- the game was available via download a few months ago from the Frogwares store and from The Adventure Shop (via download). I think you're right and there was a disk version available at about the same time, though not in North America, I think it was an import -- maybe it was released in Australia? (the releases start to blur together a bit after awhile).

I downloaded mine from Frogwares last November. I like the SH games and hope there will be more.

There will be, blackbird. The next game will feature Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper. I'm looking forward to that already.
