Legacy Interactive’s The Lost Cases Of Sherlock Holmes Mystery Game Now Available For Download

May 7, 2008 - PRLog -- “Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot.” Legacy Interactive today announces the release of The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes, a whodunit casual computer game of theft, espionage and murder in which the player must tap their own powers of observation to solve puzzles and identify the culprits.  The game is now available for download at http://legacygames.com/download_games/394/the_lost_cases_of_sherlock_holmes.

The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes is the first computer game officially licensed by the Conan Doyle Estate.  It features familiar personalities including Sherlock Holmes, Watson, Mycroft, Inspector Lestrade and more than 100 historical characters that will launch players into the world of the eccentric and famous detective.  For each of the 16 individual cases, an overall storyline is revealed and a list of potential suspects is whittled down until the perpetrator is ultimately exposed.  

In each case, set in Victorian London, players encounter the following puzzles: a hidden object puzzle, Sudoku, find the difference puzzle, and a picture memory game.  There are also additional puzzles and mini-games such as anagrams, cryptograms and jigsaw memory games, which are available at various levels.  Legacy has gone to great lengths to insure that the puzzles and mini-games are relevant to the period and storyline of the game as the player journeys from locales such as the British Museum, Big Ben, Kew Gardens, the Royal Theater and others in search of clues that are then evaluated back at 221b Baker Street.
