Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes is a point-and-click detective quest in which you have to help the famous detective in the investigation of 16 crimes.
The plot
The action takes place in the Victorian era when they had not yet invented systems to find criminals by DNA, fingerprints, and video cameras. A genius of logical reasoning, Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson calculate crooks by the deductive method. Unsolved cases are suggested to them by Detective Lestrade as well as Sherlock's own brother named Mycroft Holmes.
Gameplay
Prepare to go through each quest in linear order, unlocking them one by one. You don't just need to search each location for active items, but select key clues to solving the mystery. Once all the items have been combined you will have access to a list of suspects. If you correctly pinpoint the culprit, you will gain access to the next task.
