Description

"The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes" is an intricate point-and-click adventure game released for the Panasonic 3DO in 1994, having originally been developed by Mythos Software and published by Electronic Arts. This game, known for its deep narrative and complex puzzle-solving elements, sets players in the role of the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, accompanied by his faithful friend Dr. John Watson. The storyline is richly woven around a series of chilling murders mimicking the grotesque style of Jack the Ripper, presenting Holmes with a dark and mysterious case to solve in the fog-laden streets of 19th century London. Players interact with various characters and clues using a traditional point-and-click interface, engaging in detailed examinations and dialogues that drive the story forward.

The gameplay in "The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes" is notable for its attention to detail and authenticity in relation to the Holmesian lore, featuring numerous references to Arthur Conan Doyle’s original works. It combines logical puzzles and detailed pixel-hunt tasks, which require a keen eye and deductive reasoning to solve. Graphically, the 3DO version improved upon earlier iterations with enhanced visuals and sound that make Victorian London come alive with atmospheric depth and realism. The game also features one of the earliest examples of a fully voiced cast in a video game, adding an immersive layer to the storytelling. This version on the 3DO platform is distinctly remembered for pushing the boundaries of narrative depth and complexity in the adventure game genre, making it a valuable gem for fans of Sherlock Holmes and classic detective stories alike.
