The Testament of Sherlock Holmes

It is set in London, 1898, after Holmes just solved a case where precious jewels were stolen.

Upon returning it however, the necklace turns out to be a fake and the detective himself becomes incriminated.

On top of that, when he has an appointment with the Bishop of Knightsbridge and arrives there, the bishop is tied up and mutilated.

While the player initially controls Sherlock Holmes, his strange behavior eventually will have the player control his fellow partner Watson, who needs to investigate himself whether Holmes is really implicated.

The game is played from a third-person perspective but it can be changed to a first-person view at any moment along with a fully rotatable camera.

The game can also be switched to a classic point-and-click view where clicking a desired location causes the character to move there.

The gameplay focuses entirely on the investigations.

The environment is presented as an open world with an open investigations where different locations can be chosen and leads can be followed or ignored.

Because of the larger scale, characters are now also able to run to travel faster.

Items that can be interacted with in the environment are highlighted with a magnifying glass.

These can be inspected from up close for further examination or other actions, such as moving an item.

Often a close look is required to pick up specific clues.

For some puzzles additional tools are provided to get more information out of the evidence.

Some of these puzzles have questions that the player has to answer after the examination to gain clues.

Rather than wrong or right answers, the player's deduction changes how the evidence can be used afterwards.

There are also physical objects to collect that are kept
