Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (series) - Overview

Overview

Each game in the series lets you control Holmes or Dr. Watson in either first-person or third-person perspective. This adventure game series mainly consists of puzzles to solve during the course of the game, both by the use of Holmes' deduction and of Watson's assistance. It also consist of looking for clues and evidence hidden in the environment, where Holmes must take these evidences back to his labs (both in his famous flat at 221 B Baker St. and elsewhere) and examine it under a microscope or cook it up with other solvents in a mechanical contraption to separate the elements. You can also use a scalpel or tweezers just right on a piece of evidence slabbed under the microscope.

The game's main goal is to solve the main mystery in the story, and also to take up some side-investigation not necessary in the plot. The series takes Holmes to other places like New Orleans, Switzerland, Scotland and others.
