• Sherlock Holmes The Awakened gets its first gameplay trailer and it's kinda creepy - 4 November 2022

  Frogwares have released the first gameplay trailer for Sherlock Holmes The Awakened , and it's a bit creepy. The Sherlock meets Cthulhu horror adventure sees a young Sherlock and John Watson undertake a chilling case that will forever "bond and scar the duo." What seems like a straightforward case of a missing person quickly spirals into a web of conspiracies by a cult that worships Cthulhu and are attempting to bring about an ancient prophecy. Read more

• Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened trailer shows first gameplay from the Lovecraft mash-up - 3 November 2022

  It’s been a minute since we last saw anything from Frogwares’ kitbashed remake of their 2007 mystery horror game Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened . Now though, a new trailer gives a proper glimpse of what Holmes and Watson will be getting up to when they take on H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, once again for the very first time. Have a watch below, and try not to get lost in an ethereal netherworld inhabited by malevolent, sleeping gods. Read more

• Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened remake now has a trailer and Kickstarter - 4 August 2022

  My first encounter with Frogwares' Sherlock Holmes games was the Consolevania drubbing of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened , but the series has come a long way since. Alice loved last year's Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One , which stars a young, hot Holmes. As CJ reported last week , Frogwares now intend to close the circle by pitting hot Holmes against (hot?) Cthulhu creatures in a remake of 2007's The Awakened. Its Kickstarter project launched today and there's a reveal trailer below. Read more

• Sherlock Holmes Chapter One | Combat Deep Dive Trailer - 30 September 2021

  Hello everyone, Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One’s release date is getting closer and closer - November 16th to be exact. To give you a further glimpse of how the game plays, we’ve prepared another trailer for you to check out. This time we wanted to give you a deeper dive into the game’s combat. Although smart, Sherlock is certainly not a gun-toting superhero maniac. He must use his wits and brains in battle the same way as he does when solving a crime. If the time to fight comes, look closely and find your opponent’s weak spots, take advantage of the environment itself, or use your snuff box to daze them if they come too close to stun them to gain an advantage. Remember though, Sherlock’s strongest weapon is his mind. Work clever, not hard. Killing is a last resort. If you do decide to gun down your foes, expect to hear about it from your companion Jon. It might impact how he perceives yo…

• Sherlock Holmes Chapter One | Postcards from Cordona Part 2 - 2 September 2021

  Dear Sherry, Our adventure to Cordona draws ever closer, and I, for one, cannot wait to see what mischief we can bring to that little island. I’m writing to you because I found more postcards in the mail today, they seem to offer a nice little slice of Cordona life. Looks like we’re going to have to get our shoes dirty Sherry, if that’s something you can stand. It sure looks like a Mediterranean paradise filled with all those beautiful, exotic people, but we all know that beautiful islands have their dark mysteries just waiting to be uncovered… I heard that they're going to be talking about us soon. I hope they say all good things about us Sherry. We’ll be seeing each other very soon, but if you need me, I’m always here for you. Your friend, Jon https://store.steampowered.com/app/1137300/Sherlock_Holmes_Chapter_One/

• Sherlock Holmes Chapter One | Q&A Part 2 - 23 June 2021

  Dear Holmes, It seems there are more and more questions popping about you and I, and our time in Cordona. I never knew that we would be the talk of the town so soon after arriving. Seems our London charm is rubbing off on this little island. Our friends at Frogwares have made another Q&A video about us. Might be worth checking out if you’re curious. That’s it from me, Sherry. Heard there’s a rather interesting get-together happening in one of the affluent mansions just off the center of the town. I’ve always been curious what the so-called rich and powerful are up to. We should take a look at it. One thing that I can confirm is that no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy taste. Something that I shouldn’t have said at Mrs. Robbin’s London get-together a few months back... Stay safe Sherry. We will pay a visit to your mother real soon. I promise. Yours truly, Jon Add Sherlock Ho…
