• It was interesting to see an entry with this format using a map to move about. The story was a gem with a true beginning, middle and an end. The case felt like a true Holmes-esque story - if it wasn't borrowed from Sir A.C.Doyle himself, it was very well written. It had obvious hints to the delusions of Holmes, and the art of each room was wonderful with a high attention to detail - a minor shame this didn't apply to the UI itself which would have benefitted from this same time and care. There was only the single audio track, which applied a wonderful sense of atmosphere but could have benefitted from a muffled effect while in the house to make it feel more believable. The small and already-existing cast of characters were clever in that they were already established (with a twist) but it would have been nice to meet some original characters as well to discover your character-building skills. The puzzles were simple fetch quests and unfortunately the context/timing sensitive nature of some of the items made for a bit of a frustrating play, but overall not a bad entry, well done.
• I wish the player would have been given a chance to deduce the answer on their own, but it was an enjoyable game.
