Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Persian Carpet

About

You’re Sherlock Holmes at 221b Baker Street in 1896. A painter’s body has been discovered wrapped in a rare Persian carpet, and Scotland Yard needs your expertise. You’ll examine crime scenes, question suspects, and piece together evidence from documents and witness accounts. The interface sticks to standard point-and-click mechanics but emphasizes deduction over action. Clues often hide in plain sight, requiring careful observation and cross-referencing of notes. Watson pops in to offer context and occasional reminders of your reputation. The mystery leans into classic Holmesian tropes with a focus on detail-oriented sleuthing. Players praise the atmospheric writing and the layered suspect interactions that reward thorough investigation. While not as technically ambitious as later entries in the series, it holds up as a solid entry for fans of methodical puzzles and period detective work. The case itself is straightforward but tightly constructed, with a solution that feels earned through logic rather than luck.
