The graphics, the illusion of freeroaming gloomy Victorian London, the suspense, the perfectly captured essence of Conan Doyle's stories and finally being Sherlock bloody Holmes. This game had it all and I miss it dearly
A point and click a little ahead of its time - with little minigames such as Darts added for immersion. Really let you inhabit the character of Sherlock Holmes. I probably still have it on CD-ROM and was a nightmare to run back in the day, but worth the time and perseverance.
Warm and cozy. This is what this game reminds me of.
I had such an amazing time playing this back in the days. I was mesmerized with the sound, the story, the colours, the atmosphere and, of course, the personalities of Sherlock and Watson.
I remember printing the "journal" with all the dialogs of the game. Wonderful point n' click masterpiece!
Iremember this being one of the best Sherlock Games that I have played and I would love to experience it again thanks to GOG, one really good detective game too.
This was my first computer game my parents bought me! I so miss this game. I loved this game so much as a kid! I remember not getting off the family computer because i wanted to beat this game so bad. Unfortunately, someone stole my game :( please bring this game back!!!
When i started my personal Sherlock Holmes marathon (playing though all the games), i have fight which one to choose, Dos version or 3DO. While 3DO look nicer, i didn't like having no subtitles, so i eventually went with Dos version, and won't regret choosing that.
Still one of the better Sherlock Holmes game i have play, along side with Rose tattoo.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

.Flow.Flow is one of the most well-known fangames of the original Yume Nikki, made by lol. It's one of the darker spin-offs infamous for its eerie atmosphere and copious amounts of body horror and hospital imagery, centering around a girl named Sabitsuki (さびつき) as she enters her PC dreamworld to explore her mind and collect effects.
.Flow is one of the more traditional fangames that stays true to the gameplay elements of the original. Effects are collected in a gloomy, sublime dreamscape and the user is left to interpret the events and lack of explicit storyline. The only differences that seem to set this game apart from Yume Nikki is the more concrete subject matter (the deeper aspects of the landscape seem to have a more pristine resemblance to human body parts, where as Nikki's environment requires more interpretive thinking to analyze) and the inclusion of three endings instead of one.
The main plot of the game is similar to the original Yume Nikki's, in that it's a sandbox game with very few exploration restrictions. You must collect the twenty-five effects to unlock two of the three endings and three boxes to achieve the third.Horror
