All News for Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened

Discover the adventures of Sherlock Holmes in a game with a gripping atmosphere, for the first time ever delivered in a full 3D world of thoroughly intensive and wholly immersive real-time sleuthing.

Cities and places exude authenticity, creating environments you would expect to find at the end of the 19th Century. And yet, amidst the daily grind and bustling lives of society, there also exists terrifying places, and it is in these confines where you will have to control your fears, retain your focus, and ascertain the truth.

This new adventure of Sherlock Holmes rises to the challenge of being entirely in 3D, while the creators have retained the traditional adventure game 'point & click' mechanic, in which the game is played solely with the mouse. The use of full 3D allows for an immersive experience, with changing game rhythm and additional enigmas and puzzles using physics and lighting.

Sherlock Holmes - The Awakened offers rewarding gameplay, a true symbiosis of two technologies specific to adventure games: WARP (used in the first Myst and Amerzone) which allows first-person movement in pre-calculated decors; and 3D surroundings, which allows the character to be controlled in a truly immersive manner, as well as being able to appreciate the splendor of the surroundings, thus offering a large freedom of movement. The advantage of mixing these two game modes provides a greater diversity of scenario, interaction with more people and a high factor of realism. You will also be challenged by puzzles in 3D, linked to physics for example, in which the weight of objects can be used to trigger mechanisms, and others using dynamic lighting, where a torch might be used to illuminate, in real time, certain places in order to reveal clues or other secrets and passageways.

• A point & click adventure game in a real time 3D environment offering total immersion in gripping ambiances.
• Sumptuous graphics, biting dialogues, disturbing characters and an excellent sound track make for the best Sherlock Holmes adventure.
• Interact with more than 60 characters.
• Use and combine more than 50 objects, uncover hundreds of clues and documents to carry out the investigation.
