The player takes a role of Sherlock Holmes — famous detective.
The game consists of 6 non-related cases.
The first accentuation in levels is made in investigating the crime scene and searching for clues.
After the examinations section comes the deduction one — the player must interconnect the evidence and find out who the culprit is.
The burden of punishment is also on the playing one, thus the game title.
Three out of the six cases — The Fate of Black Peter, The Riddle on the Rails and The Abbey Grange Affair are reminiscent of the original Conan Doyle stories.
Thus, the narrative flow and plot twists are adapted from the original whodunnit as well.
One of the key features of the game is the possibility to guess the culprit wrong ergo making the false accusation.
This, in turn, would affect the outcome of further cases.
However, with the cases not being firmly tied down together, the impact of player's mistakes is insignificant.
The loading screen as it appears rarely provides one with not only the loading bar but also the evidence to inspect and clues to examine thus using the loading time fully.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2014.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
