Quote

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is a third-person, open-world, story-driven detective thriller. The story is a creative re-imagining of Sherlock’s first steps on his journey to becoming the famed, flawed and destructive genius the world has come to know. Set on the Mediterranean island of Cordona, this is where Sherlock spent his childhood. He now returns as a young adult to find the true answers to his mother’s mysterious death all those years ago that orphaned him and got him sent to London. The game is built around a system of “no hand holding” detective work, meaning players will need to use all the tools at their disposal to piece together the clues and solve the various mysteries that the island is hiding.

Thanks Ana! I also watched the Gameplay Deep Dive video which showed up after the Trailer and it says there is an option to "skip combat" which may be of importance to some of us!

Yes, I read that there is a skip option for the combat, and I am really happy to know that Frogwares implemented this skip option in the game.

Thanks for the info, BrownEyedTigre. A little too expensive for me, though, right now

Thank you Ana!

"Sherlock Holmes Chapter One" is a pretty anomalous title.

I have a question: Do you want to see actual gameplay in a trailer, or a cluster of cutscenes? I don't think that the latter really says anything about the game. But judging from them, it looks more like a James Bond game.

However, all trivial ranting aside, I think that the game is promising. And implementing a skip option for the combat is indeed a very good idea.

Mikael, you bring up a great point that I think of often! Seeing cutscenes in a trailer mean nothing to me. I want to see actual gameplay 100% of the time so I can judge if it's something I want to play, not watch.

I agree. I am waiting for someone to actually play this and hear what they think. I was disappointed with their last ones and I like their older stuff.
