About this game

Join the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes in his unbelievable new investigations!

Something wicked is going on in the worlds of well-known books – their plots are changing, with the main characters being defeated while the villains prevail. The magic of literature is at work here, and this magic is real! Now, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Alice in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and many other classic novels are not at all like you remember them.

Help Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson restore the original plots of the books and deliver justice by solving tricky match-3 puzzles or unraveling hidden object scenes, and complete thrilling quests while searching for the reasons and patterns behind the events. These world-renowned stories helped to shape the history of mankind, so they carry enormous power – and whoever can control that power, will be able to rule the universe. Make sure it falls in the right hands!

Set off on an exciting detective adventure, solve ingenious puzzles and investigate crimes without delay before the real world turns upside down too!

Pretty good game, with beautiful graphics and interesting story, i played countless hours and would still probably be playing if it would be working. After the title screen I get a black screen and the game never starts, i tried everything, reinstalled it a few times, played around with my network settings etc, but it still fails to launch. I am giving a one star review, because I have reached out to their customer support and never actually heard back. Seems like they really don't care. Shame.

First played this game a ffew years ago. An interactive way to catch up with the old classic fiction. Gave up after a year as the fun died and the frustrations accumulated. Rediscovered the game after retirement and much wiser to the gameplay now. Be warned, it can get addictive and frustrating at the same time for some. Just cool off and come back to the game after a while.

Certain rewards are not clear on where to find them. Ex. It will say something like look at the souvenirs to help you. Or the talisman. Good luck, if you don't play many games hard to find. ADD: The game is enjoyable (or I wouldn't be coming back to play) I think for hard this game can be a few more rewards should be given if you win that scene. If you win the scene why should I not get my energy points back? Thank you for responding!
