Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is a single-player third-person adventure and an expanded remake of the 2006 game of the same name developed by Frogwares.
The game centers around a young Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they investigate disappearances connected to the Cthulhu Mythos of H. P. Lovecraft.
It was released on April 11, 2023 on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG after a successful Kickstarter campaign.
Crimes and Punishments is a series of six self-contained murder mysteries. Each case features the usual mix of exploration, interrogation, puzzles and the occasional more action-y sequence. Gathered clues combined in logical pairs will add nodes to the synaptic network of the "deduction space", but key elements of the story remain open for interpretation. It's up to you, Sherlock, to pick the most plausible chain of events, designate a guilty party and decide their fate.
This first-person puzzler combines the two-color logic of Portal with the potentially lethal visions of Amnesia. Copycat ? Sure... but Magrunner is also the one and only videogame featuring both a teleporting magnetizer dog and the Cthulhu mythos.
Investigating a petty theft, solving a gruesome murder case, forestalling a sinister plot to overthrow the government: it's all in a day's work for London's most famous clue-sniffing eccentric.
