The Thames Murders & other cases

Solve ten mysteries in Victorian London, including The Mummy’s Curse, The Munitions Magnate, The Pilfered Paintings, and The Thames Murders. These strange cases feature the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes! Armed with a copy of The Times, a London map, a directory, and your logic, you’ll explore the city’s streets to uncover the truth behind heinous crimes. Will you investigate crime scenes or meet Inspector Lestrade? The choice is yours—each clue you pursue gets you closer to solving the case.

This game is a reimplementation of Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, originally published by Ystari, using the same ten cases.
