Great plot, fun, elegant, light and genuinely holmesian (no murders : Lupin doesn't kill), amazing puzzles, solid dialogs and fantastic voice acting : great adventure game, one you owe yourself to play if you like adventure games and mystery novels. The plot is much more clever than it seems at first, and if you figure out what Lupin is really up to before the end of the game, you're better police than me !
Graphically, the game seems a bit dated, but it looks good enough to make you feel like you're really spending some time in a Victorian London. The beautiful pieces of classical chamber music playing in the background help acheiving this goal. You'll also get the chance to view nice real works of art as you'll explore the museums, beautifully integrated into the game's sets.
The game's atmosphere is extremely peaceful and relaxing, everything around you looks cosy, and the "bad guy" you're up against is a pleasant gentleman who will make you laugh more than once : this is just a pleasant and very challenging journey through some of the most beautiful places in London.
The story has a good
The puzzles are difficult, but hey, this is a Sherlock Holmes story, what do you expect ? It's too bad they gave up the quizzes from the Silver Earring though, it really gave you the impression that you were solving crimes yourself.
This is a great adventure game, original, demanding, fun to play, and true to its inspiration : Arthur Conan Doyle and Maurice Leblanc would probably be very proud.
