About
Your favorite books are falling apart — and only Sherlock can save them.
Dive into a world where classic stories twist into chaos. In Sherlock: Hidden Object & Match-3 Mystery, someone — or something — is tampering with the endings of legendary novels. Heroes are missing. Villains take control. Team up with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to uncover what’s behind these literary mysteries and restore the truth.
Explore intricately crafted storybook settings, solve logic-based challenges, and uncover hidden clues as you move through distorted narratives. Choose your playstyle: search richly detailed scenes in hidden object mode, or relax with thoughtful match-3 gameplay — both seamlessly woven into the unfolding mystery.

It's a Sherlock Holmes game filled with popup ads and ai slop (currently there's no ai warning on the store page). Every time I open the game I have to click through 5-6 popups before I can start playing it. Playing match-3 most of time is terrible because It's so luck based and I have to redo the same levels just to get a chance at getting the items that I need. Playing the hidden object mode It's fine most of time, except when finding the differences or when the words are reversed, that is super frustrating. I've been trying to win the Colored Sphere Rush event a couple of times but I always lose to people who either have too much time or too much money to waste on power ups. I only stayed to see If I could get all the achievements but I'm getting very tired of this sh*t. If you want to play some actual good Sherlock Holmes games, I highly recommend you to play the Sherlock Holmes games made by Frogwares.

Pour dire les choses simplement, c'est un de ces jeux facebook adapté sur Steam. Donc, graphismes léchés mais sans âme, sans fin, paywall à toutes les sauces, comptes à rebours [i]ad nauseam[/i], ce qui rend le jeu frustrant au possible et pourtant étrangement addictif. [u]Prenons un exemple concret :[/u] Le match3 est un jeu de puzzle/combo : plus vous éliminez d'objets de couleur identique en 1 coup, plus la récompense est élevée, et plus les chances de création de bonus augmentent. Seulement voilà, ces puzzles ne sont pas aléatoires ou procéduraux, et comme je n'achète rien, je refais le même puzzle. Et là, on voit clairement que certains puzzles ne semblent pas seulement difficiles : ils paraissent conçus comme des murs de frustration. Leur grille initiale offre peu ou pas d’ouverture tactique, et l’échec arrive souvent à un ou deux coups près, exactement au moment où le jeu propose d’acheter une continuation ou un bonus. Attention, vous achetez, non pas une promesse, mais juste la possibilité de tenter de finir le puzzle et dr'accéder au suivant, pas celle de le sauter. Concrètement, si vous avez 30 minutes par jour pour utiliser l'"énergie" quotidienne gratuite, tant mieux. Si ce n'est pas le cas, des centaines d'autres bons jeux vous attendent. Plus sérieusement, si vous êtes du genre à tomber facilement dans ce genre de panneau, tenez-vous à distance de ce titre, dont l'unique but est de vous faire raquer dans ce jeu sans fin.
Чушь какая... А эти вечные бесконечные загрузки и возвращения в основную библиотеку - просто бесит. И это при том, что я играла всего четверть часа. Но самое непонятное - они ведь еще внутри игры за деньги продают всякую внутриигровую xpeнь! Тыкни в фотоаппарат, в плакат, в шестеренку, в шахматную доску... Это все улики, и благодаря им мы нашли клещи! Вот это поворот! Детективная, мать ее, история. P.S. Моя коллекция игр в категории "Невероятная xy-ня" пополнилась еще одним экземпляром.
It starts off great, you get lots of free power ups and tools etc. By day two they start to dry up and it begins to incessantly push "offers" it then quickly becomes the same old pay to win slop I was really hoping it wouldn't. Soon you can get anywhere, can't win a game, keep running out of time. If you make the mistake of giving them money the game seems to be rigged from that point and it gets more and more and more expensive to get what you would need to move forward. It gets addictive in the beginning, I'll give them props for knowing human psychology and knowing how get people to spend...
AI slop
First of trailer of gameplay iust a lie that is not how magnifying glass works it shows you one item. Customer Service doesn't care nor does tech support if you have a issue run by a bot. Game started great but after 50 hrs in, it just a mess and frustration due to bad programming that they refuse to fix. If you don't run into issues great. If you do I am sorry that the gaming company doesn't care about you. Purchasing in game is broken. Can't play on phone and steam on the same account. Only get if free and if bored and like to have game devs make you mad!
Бывает несколько дней сидиш на одной книге-локации и не как не может пройти.Слишком затянули игру стало тошно играть. Не рекомендую, лучше играйте в другие игры останетесь с позитивом от игр. Всё Слишком долго .Слишком трудно, проходить книги-локации и даже три в ряд больше не спасает , потому что там ещё труднее, почти неделю засела на Одной локации не могла пройти. Одним словом Муторная игра!
Cant play co-op even tho its advertised as Co-op big sad :(
Ein gutes Spiel, schade ist nur, das auf Zeit geht, Wenigstens, sollte man, wenn der Level steigt, auch mehr Zeit haben, Nervig ist das man ständig aufgefordert wird zu kaufen, no stop. Das nervt ohne ende. 100 x geht ein Fenster damit man etwas kauf. Richtig schade.
