Bought this game for about EUR 14. Worth it? Definitely not. I am truly disapointed. The "length" is ridiculous. Even for completionist it would be impossible to spend more than 12 hours with this game. The plot is silly and predictable.

This is my first Sherlock game to be honest. What drives me mad the most is the awful linearism. Imagine you are in a room, you know exactly what to do to progress, say open the door. But you are not allowed to proceed with search for a key unless you first discover there is a keyhold first... Only once you discover the keyhold you are able to pick the key which has been obviously sitting on the desk for the whole time. What the hell?

Regarding graphics, feels outdated. Animations are mostly very unnatural. Loading times are a joke and I am well above recommended configuration. Standing objects look nice at least. In this case I would recommend you buy a painting and hang it at home. It will make you happier than buying and playing this crap.

Yup, extremely linear and nothing more than following a sequence of preset actions (click on this, click on that) to trigger the next step in the game.

Not true
I've found keys in the game well before i saw the keyhole ... eg; at the Tavern with that special formed butterfly key...

btw; i really enjoyed the game, and i've played quite a few 'detective' games ... this surely is a decent one.
