Sherlock Holmes Investigates Cthulhu
Sherlock Holmes: I recently read "The Hound of the Baskervilles," and became a fan.Cthulhu: I've been a fan for years.
Adventure Gaming: Decline, Shmeline. Looks like there are more than a few being produced, but they just aren't marketing with the big bucks anymore. I have loved 'em for many years.
Now, let's just COMBINE THEM ALL TOGETHER, now, shall we?!?!? By a company that apparently has a bit of clout, and has already done two other Sherlock Holmes games. Can't say I've played their other games, but now I may have to check 'em out.
Be sure and check out the trailer.
Apparently, it's already out in parts of Europe, and it is scheduled for UK and U.S. release around the end of February 2007. There's a German Demo (700 MB!) available already on Filefront. The gameplay is first-person perspective, but it switches to third person during cut-scenes. You alternate between playing Holmes and Watson.
Thanks to Raph for the tip!
