An incredibly heartwarming little adventure suitable for lifelong Holmes fans and people new to his stories alike. Whilst you might get more out of the little references if you know the stories and canon, nothing relies on you knowing much more than "Sherlock is a detective, Watson is his biographer". The game has lovely music, and such a gorgeous visual style; it will really appeal people who are fans of the adventure games this has been created in the tradition of. The writing is stellar. It really captures the voices of the characters, and makes for such believable small-town drama and interpersonal interest. I feel like I could have walked around the village for hours more, solving little disputes and mysteries with the Falworth Peculiars. This is to say nothing of the delightfully sweet dynamic between Holmes and Watson, and how it spins out through small interactions and discussions. This game delivers on everything you expect it to, and more. My only complaint is that the audio mixing is sometimes a little off -- it can be hard to hear the characters over the background noise at points, which is tragic, because the voice acting is gorgeous! By no means does this make it a chore to play, though, because it makes sure your attention stays on the game, and the gorgeous portraits that accompany the dialogue! One playthrough took me around 5 hours, and I'm already planning on a replay to explore some alternate routes and grab some achievements I missed! :)

Absolutly stunning! Very charming game, endearing voice acting and a beutiful style. Played through it in one sitting and will do so again. Apart from a few minor glitches, which did not affect the gameplay, beekeeper's picknick is exectly what it should be.
A very sweet wee point-and-click adventure with a lot of fun bonus dialogue if you like to click every option possible, and some truly stellar voice acting. Got me tearing up with the ending <3
What joyful little spectacle.
Very cozy and relaxing game where Sherlock and Watson are as cute as ever! The only bad thing about this game is that it ends.
I had a hard time playing this game cause i constantly got really fangirlyy and couldnt stop giggling, 10/10 would recomand to ANY Sherlock Holmes fan!!!!
I am impressed by how much is packed into this fun little game! As a longtime fan of Sherlock Holmes, I enjoyed all the nods to various cases. The writing and voice acting for Sherlock and Watson were also entirely believable and pulled me into the story effectively. The puzzles and mysteries were challenging enough to take me a little time to figure out, and the results were satisfying. The art is well-done and the side characters are fun and entertaining. I also got way too much enjoyment out of hearing all of Sherlock's various responses to me prompting him to do silly actions with different objects; I'm a completionist but an impatient one, and this game made clicking around rewarding without having the reactions be overly long. The option to click through dialogue when desired is also a feature I appreciate, although I found myself doing that less than I would otherwise because I enjoyed listening to the well-written dialogue and excellent voice acting. Even though some would consider this game short, I felt like it was a satisfying length; it took me exactly 4 hours to play, and at the end I feel it has been an entirely rewarding experience. Would definitely recommend for any Sherlock Holmes fan interested in a low-stress but engaging and entertaining point-and-click adventure!
It's not perfect but if some pretty minor audio glitches were the worst part of it, it was probably good enough. "Had to" use one out of game hint for main story, and cleaned up the achievements with a guide. Most things either made sense or were funny, sometimes even both. Wouldn't rank it THAT highly, but it is definitely good.
Could talk to Watsons Mustache 10/10
The game is a charming tail of well known detective on his pension. Very fancervisy, but that is exactly what I was expecting. It is also funny how it makes references to mouse holms movie, enjoyed it a lot. Some times the game does not communicate some things directly and it spoils itself in dialogue with NPCs. But all puzzles are logical and the story is charming.
