Frogware’s latest Sherlock game feels like the ultimate expression of the developer’s ambition for its venerable sleuthing series – but also its strangest entry yet. It is nearly everything you could want from a game about the consulting detective, but also a few things that you could do without. It veers between greatness and absurdity, but if you’ve got an itch to solve some Victorian mysteries, there isn’t a better salve.
Sherlock’s constant companion, Jon, is a sort of proto-Watson, and really exemplifies how Chapter One adapts Doyle’s ancient character. Like Watson, Jon is a sounding board and confidant for Sherlock. But unlike the good doctor, he’s a bit of a rogue, with a playful, cheeky streak and a more fraternal relationship with Sherlock. He’s also entirely imaginary.
