Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Case of the Mystified Murderess

About

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Case of the Mystified Murderess casts you as the famed detective figuring out a baffling murder. A woman is accused of shooting a wastrel, but the evidence doesn’t add up. You’ll piece together clues through dialogue, document analysis, and logic puzzles. Each choice narrows suspects and motives, with branching paths that demand careful observation. The gameplay blends deduction with structured investigation, letting you reconstruct events and test theories in a Victorian-era setting. Zojoi’s take on Holmesian mysteries leans into atmospheric storytelling and methodical problem solving. Fans praise its tight writing and puzzles that challenge lateral thinking, though the rigid interface can feel dated. With a 82/100 Metacritic score and a runtime of 6-8 hours, it’s a solid pick for logic-driven sleuths. The case runs smoothly on modern systems despite its 2012 release, and the iOS port makes it easy to solve crimes on the go.
