Game Start

Tutorial: Necklace at the Marquis of Conyngham’s Mansion

Watch the cutscene in the modern times with the kids

Watch the cutscene and listen to Watson explain the locked door crime.

Follow the prompts:

Inspect any other blue magnifying glasses or hands in the room (Door, aquarium, candle on floor, papers on the table, draught screen [a screen to block drafts. Draught is British spelling], floor behind screen, objects on mantle, bell pull, fireplace, sooty footprints, cabinet) until Inspector Baynes comes through the door.

Listen to Holmes’ brilliant deduction of the monkey being the culprit and dropping the jewels in the aquarium. The Marquis himself comes in to positively ID the necklace. Holmes puts it away in the corner cabinet, then retires to Baker Street.

221B Baker Street – 1

Watson insists that Holmes reads the outrageous newspaper article by an incensing reporter that enjoys flaming Holmes and spinning his case solving by painting him a crook. Feel free to inspect things around the apartment and then read the article (or not). Holmes doesn’t care and invites Inspector Baynes who is outside the door in. They discuss the problem with the fake necklace. Ask about the Slander, the Necklace, and the Marchioness. Holmes is itching to go see Peregrine Maitland, the Bishop of Knightsbridge, but acquiesces to examining the necklace.

Look at it on the table which will launch a simple mini puzzle. Simply move the right cursor over all the blue magnifying glasses (the 3 weird beads) and examine them.

As Watson, go get the map on the desk and press the Diocese of Knightbridge to go there

Diocese of Knightsbridge – Bishop Maitland’s Murder

Watch the cutscene with the stubborn Reverend

Examine the body (this game is proving to be pretty gruesome). Get the piece of rope from next to his thigh. Get the finger from the ground

Examine the broken bottle of whisky, the bottle of whisky, the bloody paperweight, the stove, get the broken phial from the rug.

Examine the picture, open the cabinet door to get a metal rod from the cilice (in ancient times, it was an undergarment made from coarse fur, or a sackcloth, purposefully uncomfortable for the implementation of penance. In more modern times it is often seen as a band with small spikes in it, hence the in-game Bishop’s spiky belt and consistent belly holes), check out the chest on the shelf which cannot be solved yet and the Reverend refuses to give the proper elements to open it.

Get the scalpel from the small table. Try the veranda door. Open the door to the small bedroom. Examine the bed and the window.

Examine the footprints on the ground in front of the entry door for a small puzzle.

It’s now time for the Deduction Board

Go through the prompts and figure it out

After completing the 2 deductions, Holmes asks again for help opening the chest, but the Reverend continues to refuse. He then tells Watson to go with the Reverend to the police station and to only speak to Inspection Baynes.

Alone now to do what he wants, Holmes continues the investigation.

Use the metal rod on the veranda door lock to start a puzzle. It’s a simple one where you have to bend the metal to shape above. “It is simplicity itself”

Examine both sides of the rug, the inkwell on the desk, then the rug again. Grab the horse’s head from the ground near the window, read the love note, and then use the head on the uncovered floor.

Puzzle time!

When you solve it, use the pocket-knife on the last piece to uncover a sheaf of love letters between none other than the good Reverend and his mistress who has borne his children and wants him to commit to their relationship and family.

Walk back into the room to start a cutscene where Holmes indicates that he knows about the letters. He asks again for the implements for the chest. The reverend again refuses, so you get to choose which method you’d like to employ (corruption, blackmail, or threat). If you choose blackmail, the reverend will refuse to comply, so you’re off to find the pins for the chest lock yourself (shelf, edge of the bed, plant in the veranda, and desk in the veranda). I chose corruption and threat the first time, and the reverend gave me the pins.

Chest Puzzle!

You open what is supposed to be unopenable except by the Bishop. The reverend can’t stand it anymore and runs away. Watson can’t catch him. Turns out nothing was important in the chest worth stealing. Head home to Baker Street before the cops show up.

221B Baker Street – 2

Now it’s time to analyze the clues found at the crime scene.

Use the broken phial on the right side of the desk to start the chemical analyzer. Press A to place the substance into the “?” tube, then rotate each color chemical and count how many colored bleps show up on the bottom thing. Input the numbers into notebook (If you’re too lazy to actually do it, just input the numbers the solution below)

Grab the note from the writing desk and give it to Holmes.

Use one of the remaining items on the left portion of the lab desk to start analyzing them.

• Finger: examine the teeth marks on the bottom, use the scalpel on the nail to scrape out dirt, use the pincers on the dirt
• Scalpel: Use water, then the brush
• Rope: Use the pincers twice on the rope and then on the dirt. Examine the rope.
• Stone Fragment: Use acid, use brush
• Dirt Samples: Put both dirt samples under the lens, add water, use scalpel

Go to the bookshelf and get the middle book (no, not the female anatomy book, lol), then place it on the worktable in front of Holmes.

Deduction Board!

Then in the book, choose the appropriate location

Back to the Deduction Board about the Bishop of Knightsbridge

Solve it.

Watch the cutscene where Holmes had already hired some urchins to ferret out information for him and forces Watson to pay, as usual. They go to sleep.

Cutscene back to the kids in the present time who think the story is super interesting (isn’t this kind of inappropriate for little kids…?)

The next morning arrives and now, you get to choose 3 locations and which order to investigate the problem from: Westgate Jail, Kensington Gardens, or Whitechapel Street. Order does not matter.

Investigation A: Westgate Jail

Watch the cutscene where Holmes rudely dismisses a fan of his. Go straight down the hall behind the entry guard and to the left, last door on the right. The receptionist nodded off and they deduce that she’s pregnant. Inspect the blue magnifying glasses and Holmes deduces that the director and the receptionist are related. He gives you a Pass. Talk about “Family Ties” with the receptionist.

Go back towards the entrance and, armed with the Pass, take a left into the open room. Go straight and start a cutscene. Ask about “The Great Detective,” “Inmates,” “Information,” and “Guard Index Cards.”

Head down through the gates into the prison. Let’s go meet the famous Hans Schielman. Talk to him and press him on “Information” and “Pen.” Head back and talk to the Chief Warden about “The Prisoner’s Things” and “Key.”

Go back and talk to Ms. Patterson the receptionist and the Director. As it turns out, the reason why she hasn’t put up the duty list is because she lost the key to her locker. Great. Another mystery to solve. For now, head back to the Chief Warden where you’ll find that it is now of utmost importance to get the duty list up. Then head back to the door in front of the Director’s office, and use the Keys on it. Check out Schielman’s locker to find…

A Puzzle Box!

Yay! You get Hans’s Pen. OKAY. now that we have the pen, the new problem is how to get in there. To do that we have to solve Ms. Patterson’s dilemma.

Head to entrance to the jail and talk to the guard Brighton, who complains that the dry cleaners delivered his ceremonial uniform while he’s on duty, but he can’t leave his post. Holmes volunteers to do it for him. Get Key for Brighton’s Locker and Brighton’s Suit. Head to the room next to the Director’s office and across from the Prisoner’s Belongings and open it. Use the key to open it. Move the bicarbonate of soda aside and open the book to find Key “Jenny Patterson.” Ah HAH. Now we know what’s happening. Scandal! Place the Suit in the locker and use the Key on Ms. Patterson’s locker right across from it.

Another Puzzle Box!

Get Brighton’s Locket, Letter from Brighton, and Guard Duty List.

Talk to Ms. Patterson, then head into the warden’s room. Talk through everything, and then visit Mr. Schielman to give him his Pen. He cackles and alludes to an escape attempt. Head towards the Director posthaste and interrupt him berating his daughter about her bastard child. They conduct a search of his cell, but find nothing, and then some unfortunate events begin to unfold that Sherlock Holmes seems wholly unsurprised about.

Controlling Watson now, try to sound the alarm on the wall in front of you, and then talk to the Chief Warden through the grates. Take the Keys as instructed, then run out the door and to the left. Talk to Warden O’Sullivan (sounds kinda funny, don’t he?) through the gate and use the Keys on the door to get to him. It doesn’t work, so the warden tells you to throw the Keys down. Do it.

All of the sudden, Holmes shows up and tell you to repair the alarm. Mini game!

It’s simple, really. You just move the little blue triangle to the middle without hitting anything.

Watch the cutscene. Go down to the cell and find that it’s not Schielman in the cell, it’s O’Sullivan sleeping on the cot!! He’s escaped! Crap! Go find a completely nonplussed Sherlock Holmes and leave the jail. Walk up the path a bit to find… Schielman? Sedate and obedient?

Read Holmes’s explanation if you’d like. Holmes really is a clever devil, isn’t he? Able to predict and pre-empt everyone. Investigation over!

Investigation B: Kensington Gardens

Head forward and talk to the landlady. She won’t let you in, so poke around in the garden. Turn all the blue magnifying glasses green. Get the Spade (which is really a hoe), Rake, and Clothes Pegs. Use the Spade on the fence next to the clothesline. Pick up the Newspaper “The Strand” and investigate the other magnifying glasses. Use the Rake on the tree next to the shed to get Tattered Clothes.

Go back and talk to the landlady who changes her tune and lets you in.

Grab the Scarf from the ground in the room, then examine the points of interest. Pick up the Torn-up pieces of paper from the trashcan, then put them on the desk.

Puzzle!

Watson complains that it’s blank, but as we’ve already deduced, it’s likely invisible ink. Use the Clothes Pegs you swiped earlier on the bit of rope on the table, and light the candle with the Matches. Move the candle behind the paper and press A to uncover some words. If they’re not in the right order, you have to fix it.

Now, examine the space near the window and use the Spade. Oh no. Another puzzle box. And this one proves to be tough. Turn the box around and inspect all the ciphers until Watson has jotted it all down.

You find that the Colt Paterson is gone from the box. Here’s another puzzle. You need to figure out what articles are missing that should not have been.

Holmes deduces that the Bishop’s nephew suffers from a mild case of autism. Given that the shovel, the violin case, and the powerful Colt pistol is missing, he’s worried that the volatile man is going to do something bad. It’s time to head down to the wharf and to enlist the help of an old friend.

TOBY! THE DOGGY!!!

You are controlling Toby. Use the old pup’s nose up past the stairs. Follow the convenient pathway of wooden ramps and go until you find the second set of footprints. Head down to the grass and open the door. Footprints lead to a stuck lever, so head out the back to the lit yard and find another set of prints. If you head to the right side, Holmes will pick up some Grease. Go back towards the lever which can now be used with the help of the Grease.

This is a mini-game of sorts, trying to decide how to guide Toby across the pillars.

Lower the bridge for Holmes, then press forward to the next set of footprints. Try to open the door. It’s locked. Welp. Head over to the side of the large door and undo the rope. Holmes will raise you up to get in through the window.

Go down the stairs, unlock the door for Holmes, then pick up the Iron Bar from the ground. Find the next set of footsteps. Use the Iron Bar on the big doors and Holmes will open it.

To the left of that, some ice picks are missing from the wall. Turn around and find the next set of prints that seems to lead to nowhere. Smell the wall above the crates and Holmes will comment that the man used the icepicks to climb the wall.

Straight ahead outside the big door and to the left, you can inspect to see that he cut a piece of fire hose. Turn and head right of the big door. There’s a locked gate. To the left of it is a broken part of the rail. Head up to it to start a cutscene.

Turn around and hit the lever on the wall. Holmes will swing you across. Remove the chocks on the cart to create a bridge for Holmes. If you follow the footprints, there is yet another door locked from the inside. Examine the carriage tracks on the ground and then follow them up a convenient ramp.

You find an open window, but Holmes tells you not to jump in, so head back down the ramp and on the other side of that are a bunch of sacks on the ground. Remove them and head inside.

Pull the rope pulley in the corner so that Holmes can get in. Oh wow. This place is full of tight corners and convenient ramps for little short-legged puppies. Follow the footsteps and take a left then go up some crate ramps until you get to a set of concrete staircases. Go up them. You know you’re in the right place when you get a cutscene of Toby chasing a cat.

Now you’re back as Sherlock Holmes. Go through the door ahead and come out… in a lava room? Head down until you find your target. Watch an unfortunate cutscene where Toby foils your plans, and the man suffers a rather sweltering end.

Investigation C: Whitechapel Street

Listen to their banter then move forward down the street. Explore and talk to people if you’d like but keep going down the street until Watson points out the public dispensary. Head inside and talk to the doctor who turns out to be an old colleague of Watson’s. Talk to him about the scalpel and he’ll confirm that it comes from that location. Nothing left to do, so leave and head across the way to the church. Go to the right and open the gate to the cemetery.

Go in and towards the first shed before the gate. Pick up the flyer for the soup kitchen, then examine the rope hanging next to the shed’s door. This will start a mini investigation. Simply pick up the magnifier and identify that both the piece of rope and the hanging rope are the same. Similarly, when you venture past the bent gate and towards the other shed, examining the tombstone on the side will launch another mini investigation. Pick up the magnifier again and highlight the granite then the black paint (just use any dark area).

Armed with the clue from the flyer, leave the cemetery and go talk to the guy running the mobile soup kitchen in front of the church. Press him on “Grape Ape” but he doesn’t want to spill, so check out the money game next to the cart, then talk to him again. Ask about “Money Game” and then prepare to play a game (having just bet Watson’s priceless watch). Not to be defeated, the legendary Sherlock Holmes inevitably shall win.

I don’t really have any hints here. I kind of just hit buttons until I won. The game’s pretty self-explanatory

Press him on the “win” and he’ll spill the beans. Ask about the “morgue” and he’ll point you back to the dispensary. Go there.

Talk to the doctor and ask about the “morgue.” He gives you permission to poke around. Do so. Snag a list of the recent dead, then go into the morgue itself. Head over to the chair and check out the jacket.

Back out and grab the Scissors off the worktable (Watson will exclaim at how disgusting the workspace is). Take the scissors and cut at 3 places:

1. Sleeve: get Metal Core
2. Pocket: get Keys
3. Name Tag: get Plan

Time to head back to the cemetery. Go to the first shed where you found the soup kitchen flyer, and try to open the lock. Puzzle time!

Take the Note from the Cemetery from the wall and then pick up the axe and use it on the box on the ground. Remove the rocks from within and use your pocket-knife to uncover a hidden stash. Take the Note from the Cemetery Bandits.

Go through the bent gates and inspect the lover’s tree. Point to Sally + John

Go find the symbol on the gravestone at the back wall. Head back to the side of the first shed and take the shovel, then come back and make Watson dig. PUZZLE BOX.

Take the Key and the Hammer which is covered in blood. This sparks movement. Head over to the gravedigger’s shed and watch the cutscene. Make a decision on how to proceed (Care, Mediation, Afraid).

1. Care – doesn’t result in much. He gives them an ultimatum. Information or no treatment. In the end you get to choose between Mediation and Afraid.
2. Mediation – Holmes says that he’ll make Watson pay for the damage to Mr. Fletcher’s shop and they give up the ghost.
3. Afraid – Holmes says he’ll call the police and the kid fesses up.

You get Kurtz’s Address for your trouble. Turns out Holmes knows the butcher and he’s not an unfair man and Holmes stretched the truth to get information from the kids. Leave the cemetery to get a cutscene of Prince Woodville.

You need to find Batty Street now. Head left from the cemetery/church and run down until you see the street blocked by barrels. Batty Street is right across from that. Head down the alley to the last door on the right. Go in using the key.

Murder scene! Yo! Investigate every magnifying glass until they turn green. Pick up Kurtz’s Letter. Once all the investigative icons are green, turn to your deduction board to figure it out.

Unfortunately, information is missing. So, you control Dr. Watson who needs to convince the doctor at the dispensary to let you examine the body. Head to the morgue to talk to your old colleague. The discussion turns heated, but you get what you want.

Back with Holmes, uncover the body and move to examine it.

1. Use the cotton to clean the area
2. Use the scalpel to cut the 2 lined spots
3. Use the separator, then the scissors, then the tweezers on the stomach cut to get a Kurtz’s Map
4. Take the separator, use it on the lung cut, then the scalpel, then the pipette to get a Full Pipette

Go over to the desk and just like with the lab at home, figure out the contents of the pipette… Or just input these numbers I’ve provided below

Now we can finish the deduction board!

A powerful poison mixed in the opium! Now to find the source. Using the map, head left of the dispensary, then take your first right. Run all the way down the alley and take another right straight to the opium den. Head inside.

Explore the opium den. When you’ve investigated enough, it will trigger a cutscene. You need to sneak into the back room. Pick up Ashes, Tea, and Dirty Water. Combine all 3 in your bag to create Lousy Booze. Give it to the only patron who’s still awake. This will distract the host. Run up to the front and snag the correct key to the door (there was a sign above the door to tell you which one)

Watson returns the key. Go inside. Pick up the Stick and the Billhook. Check out the small window across from the door to start a cutscene. Then pick up the Barbituric Acid, the Syringe, and the Teaspoon with Opium Beads. Walk over to the cart near the other window.

Place the Teaspoon with Opium Beads onto the burner on the left and swing it into place. Use your Matches to light it up. You get Liquid Opium.

The host locks the door suddenly. First, combine the Liquid Opium, Barbituric Acid, and the Syringe to get Syringe with Soporific. Then remove the cloth from the window next to the door. Now, use the Billhook on to open it, and the Stick to prop it up.

This part is hit or miss. Arm yourself with the Syringe with Soporific, then start the mini game.

Put your cursor about where I have it and as soon as the icon changes to a green syringe, press A. It’s okay if you fail, you get to keep trying.

No that the lug is down, go up the stairs for a cutscene.

221B Baker Street – 3

Talk to Watson and he’ll tell you find Farley’s Office. Open your menu and click on Farley’s Office

Farley’s Office

You’re now in the office of the man who continues to slander you in the papers!! Now to confront him.

Look around the foyer. Check out the pocket of the coat next to the door and get a Cigarette Case. Inspect the lapel and look inside the pocket there for confirmation that it is indeed Osmond Farley’s coat. Try the door to his office and you are greeted with a rude and hasty exit by the slovenly pig. Holmes now wishes to inspect his office.

Try the door again, and you will come up with a plan to sabotage the electricity and force the secretary out of the office. Snag the Hanger from where Farley took his coat and use it to open the electrical box near the exit.

Puzzle!

With the secretary out of the way, open the office door and head straight to the desk ahead. Read and get Message from Farley’s Writing Desk from the pad with torn paper, inspect the typewriter, and pick up the Brush from the makeup case. Then, check out the pad of paper on the upper left portion of the desk. If you try to use the magnifying glass, you can see imprints on the paper. Leave and come back for now.

Head into the adjoining room and pick up the Burnt Paper from the fireplace. Check out the magnifying glasses to turn them all green. Get the Bunch of Keys from next to the telephone and then dial the number from the paper next to it. 1313? That’s Scotland Yard!

Continue your investigation. Get the Photo of the Prince Woodville, Note from Farley, and Newspaper Article from the bulletin board. Check out the ashtray on the desk in front of the 2 chairs and get Ashes. MAKE SURE to check out the ash-end of the expensive cigar there as it is separate from the whole cigar itself. This will unlock a deduction puzzle!

However. First, head back to the desk in the adjoining room. Armed now with the ashes, uncover the secrets of the notepad to get Note from Farley’s Writing Desk.

Now with this information, turn your attention back to the filing cabinets in the corner in the other room. Open the drawer labeled “DF.” Go through the papers until you see one with a blue ink stain in the corner. BINGO! Get the Index Card from Farley’s Secretary.

Back to the deduction puzzle! (HINT: Make sure that all of the magnifying glasses in the area are green before starting this)

Head over to the bookshelf and inspect it. Holmes will knock the books onto the floor uncovering a mechanism hidden behind.

Well, I’ll be: a door right where you couldn’t investigate anything.

Go through and look inside, but you won’t be able to fully enter. Pick up the Hat from the floor. BACK TO BAKER STREET!

221B Baker Street – 4

Why don’t we run some tests now. Watson will leave.

Place the Hat on the table and inspect it.

• Check out the label inside – custom made locally
• Check the gray hair on the back and/or inside – Man in his 50s and uses camphor in his hair
• Check the red ribbon the side – Man is married
• Check under the brim’s side (both) – scratch marks from glasses
• Check under the brim’s front – heat marks from tobacco. Confirms Farley’s visitor

Conclusion: The man is a judge

Get the File from the bookshelf on the side near the bedroom and place it on the table.

Watson returns when you figure it out.

Judge Beckett

Go ring the doorbell. Oh goodie, no one’s home. You can talk to the florist, but Holmes will be rude about it. Go to the right side of the place and enter the unlocked gate. Investigate the window and Holmes wants Watson to find a pin.

Now you control Watson. Run down the street and talk to Miss Lucy the florist. She knows exactly what you’re up to (given how loud Watson was exclaiming at the front door, it’s no real surprise) and gives you a Hairpin. Bring it back to Holmes.

Back as Holmes, use it on the window and, BOOM. A puzzle!

You enter into the kitchen. Go straight ahead and check out the floor. Get an Oarlock. Check out the cooking oil and then head through the door to the classroom. Where to start?

Around the edge of the room, get the School Book, and check out the jacket belonging to young James and the candy wrappers underneath it. Inspect the cupboard without handles. Check out the Greek book and the candy box, and Holmes will deduce that young James has been stealing candy, so if you find his desk, you’ll find the handles to the door. Let’s do that now. Head back to the wall chart next to the coat rack that if you’d inspected earlier would have been deemed useless by Holmes. Now, it’s a puzzle!

Armed with this knowledge, go find James’ desk and take the Door Handles. Use it on the cupboard to get the Greek Book. Next to James’ desk is another PUZZLE

Get the 2nd Oarlock for your trouble.

Continuing on, try the sides of the chalkboard to find that the screw is stuck. The chalkboard itself is a lesson on ancient Greek culture. On the podium, take the Letter from Lord Benagard. Head back into the kitchen. Take the Cooking Oil and use it on both sides of the chalkboard. Flip it around and Holmes will make Watson write down the Greek letters.

On the desk, take the Letter from Judge Beckett out of the drawer, the Judge’s Wedding Photo and the Photo of the Judge and His Wife, from the top, and now turn your attention to the box. It’s a puzzle box.

You get a Key! Hmm… I wonder what that’s for…?

That exhausts everything in the room, so head out the double doors near the coat rack. Take Lord Beckett’s Note from the side table, the Warning from the small bulletin board, and investigate Lord Beckett’s door. Use the Key on the door.

*sigh* All this sneaking around like a common criminal. Really, Holmes!

Start investigating: pick up a 3rd Oarlock from the small table next to the door, the 4 picture frames above it, get the Photo of a Symbol, the cakes, the cigar, the papers, the trophies, the big metal doors.

Ah. There’s the puzzle!

Inside the can of worms are detailed reports of ALL of Holmes’ investigations!! Watson’s incredulousness is as loud as usual. The attention really needs to be on the locked safe, though, which is Holmes’ aim from the get-go.

Holmes gets what he wants, and Watson accuses him to hiding possibly compromising information. Holmes is vague as usual and orders Watson to cover up their tracks while he takes care of something else.

Now you control Watson. Attempt to take the oarlocks out like Holmes wanted, but he tells you to escape right away. Watson tries to ask again, guilty about feeling and being a criminal, but Holmes again tells him they must leave without delay. Watson sees Judge Beckett and wants to talk to him, but Holmes orders him to stop. Watson disobeys and walks over…

…Only to be knocked flat by the bomb Holmes’ had planted. This also takes out Miss Lucy the flower lady. Watson asks Holmes for help, but he refuses and runs away.

221B Baker Street – 5

Watch the cutscene where Watson talks through the tragedy that just unfolded where everything that stood in Holmes’ way just got obliterated.

Take a look at everything there is to look at and listen to Watson’s thoughts. Pick up and read Reporter – The Sherlock Holmes Affair. Head into your room and go to sleep. You experience some serious nightmares and then awaken to the police banging on the door. You’re taken to the station for interrogation and then return to a ransacked apartment.

Start investigating. Thank goodness Toby is okay. In the main room you find all manner of disguises utilized by Holmes. Then head into his bedroom. Look at the tweed suit on the mannequin on the floor and then start picking up all the disguises strewn about. Check out the drawer next to his bed and click on the tobacco box. It moves aside and you can see a hole indicating there’s a false bottom. All of the sudden, there’s a nail in the drawer, so pick up the Nail, and use it to uncover a stash of letters addressed to Holmes’ alternate identities.

Pick up all the articles of clothing from the main room, and once you’ve gotten them all, head to the wardrobe next to the exit and solve the puzzle

Before you leave, go back to your room and get some money… Except. Holmes stole your cash. Like a scoundrel.

Holmes’ Hideout – Whitechapel, 6 Buck’s Row

Head down the only street open (there was a nasty riot where they stole the police horse to eat it). Click on the door and you are faced with… the big woman from the last visit to Whitechapel. Try to worm your way in using the options laid out for you.

I used the painting a portrait route: “I am one of your fans” > “To give you immortality” > “The lighting”

She gives me access to a room that is without doubt Holmes’ given the messiness. Investigation START!

Begin next to the door: tobacco, blotting paper, criminality books. Move to the table: microscope, analyzing material, liquid reagents, a smoking pipe. Across from that: Holmes coat and hat, dirty water, crystal glasses. Up in the sitting area is an out of tune violin, sheets of music, an empty pot, a nice plant, a half-packed suitcase, and an armored briefcase handcuffed to the sofa, locked with a code and a key.

Go back to the table where Holmes’ Pipe is. Pick it up, and also the Musical Newspaper. Turn around and use Holmes’ Pipe on the crystal glasses. Watson will play Beethoven’s 5th on them with the pipe. Go to the sheaf of sheet music and Watson will pick up the corresponding Musical Score. Bring it over to the microscope and click on it. Pick up the Reacting Agent and use it on the microscope. It’s too strong, so bring it over and use it on the water basin to dilute it. Afterwards, inspect the basin to find chunks of earth inside. On the table next to the door, pick up the Blotting Paper, and return to the microscope. Use the reagent until you trigger dialogue, then the blotting paper, to uncover a number… Clearly the combination code to the lock!

Now where is the key…? Wait… earth in the water basin… Ah hah! Check out the plant pot and, yep, there’s the Key.

Now armed with all you need for the lock, go ahead and open it

You find a train ticket to London for that evening. All of the sudden people come in and Watson accuses the man of being in disguise. A hunched old lady tells him not to… because that’s Holmes. Watson loudly confronts him (as usual) and demands to come-with to London despite Holmes warning him that the trip likely will be fatal for one of them.

London Countryside

Oooo! We’re reaching the end, I can feel it!

You walk through what sounds like hard beach sand, and Watson loudly asks questions again. Holmes tells him that there are 3 men that would kill them if they could and orders Watson to use his revolver to keep them on the ground floor while he does something upstairs.

You control Watson. If you try to go up after Holmes, he tells you to go down to the ground floor door. Brave Watson, does.

Pick up the Vodka, check out the London Times, and try to talk to the 3 foreigners. One if deaf, one is mute, the other is blind.

Using the game’s instructions, swap to Holmes.

Pick up the Rope, then check out the lamp fuel, and the lamps.

Look at the chest on the floor and look through the magician’s coat for handcuffs (front hip pocket), Fergusson’s Diary (from back tail) and a Master’s Key, a coin (front chest pocket), magician’s equipment (wrist on both sleeve), and a skeleton of a bird (other hip pocket).

Look at the rest of contents in the chest, then the jackets in the wardrobe, trapdoor on the ground, the millstone, blood on the mill arm, sacks of moldy flour, a cog, creaky boards, hastily repaired boards, old bags, the non-brick wall, the hollow wall.

Go back to the 2 moldy flour sacks and use your Knife to open both of them up. Examine them and get Safe Conduct Passes and Information Card. Pick up the Cog, too, and place it on the left side of the mill axle.

If you use your Knife on the repaired floorboards, you’ll break it.

Head out the door and examine the outside of the wall there. If you look through the small window, Watson is doing well. Head over to the extra building and use the Master Keys on it. A tool shed! The first thing you see if a spade of a shovel, but you can’t do anything with it, yet. Pick up the Screwdriver in the toolbox. Use it on the broom next to the stairs, then use the Wooden Handle on the spade. Drive in the 2 screws with the Screwdriver and get the Shovel.

Head back into the attic and use the Shovel on the wall (the animation is less than convincing…). Attach the Rope to the iron bars behind the plaster, then turn around and use the Shovel on the hastily repaired floor to uncover an arsenal of weapons! Exclaim over the different weapons, then take the Chain.

Attach it to the millstone, then the other end to the rope. You need a second cog.

Swap to Watson.

Look at the instrument on the wall, the medicine cabinet and then take the Paintbrush from under the cloth on the bench. Look at the mill mechanism next to the door and pick up the Gear from the ground to the left of that. Use it on the mill mechanism.

Turn your attention back to the locked chest now that you’re armed with the Paintbrush.

Inside are bomb-making components. These people are terrorists! Watson puts two and two together to determine that these terrorists were the ones that blew up the Judge’s house! Not Holmes after all? Well… the man says they made the bomb, but the one who detonated it placed it there, not them. He won’t speak anymore, because his brother’s wound is grave. Watson agrees to help, so the man gives him a Key. Use it on the medicine cabinet which is sorely lacking. Take the Hydrogen Peroxide and the Bandages. Combine the Hydrogen Peroxide, Vodka, and Bandages in the inventory for Bandages with Disinfectant. Use it on the man holding his ear.

So, as it turns out, they made the bomb, it was placed and detonated at the Judge’s House, and they were tortured so that they won’t give up any information. They won’t give up the name.

Swap back to Holmes.

Call down through the trapdoor to Watson about the missing cog (you might have been able to do this earlier)

Swap to Watson. Ask the standing thug if he knows about any cogs, and he directs you to a wood pile next to the fireplace. Go pick the Gear up and give it up through the hatch to Holmes.

Swap back to Holmes and install it on the end of the mill axle.

Go check out the newly demolished wall.

Ewww. The magician’s body. If you look at the wall above the body, there’s an iron bar that holds it in place. Take the piece of paper from the body’s hand. Holmes now wants to destroy the place. Go pick up the Petrol next to the door.

This kicks off a cutscene where the thugs run away at the mention of Holmes’ name and the police show up. Whoops. Now there’s a new body and the mill is burning down.

221B Baker Street – 6

There was hope in Watson that perhaps his good friend wasn’t involved after all but faced with the newly killed inspector and Holmes on the run yet again, Watson is back to feeling manipulated and controlled by the crazy detective.

Your flat shows some semblance of order again. Check out Holmes’ broken pipe and pick up the Daily Report Newspaper. Holmes is now top suspect in the murder of both Inspector Baynes and Judge Beckett. How horrid. Watson pens his concerns and thoughts on his good friend Sherlock Holmes. He is disturbed by a noise from his apartment.

Leave the room and attempt to enter Holmes’ room. He doesn’t want to open the door, so Watson yells at him through the door. The events transpire similarly to Watson’s nightmare from before. He draws his gun and enters only to see Holmes aiming a gun at him. Watson tries to fire, but he somehow has none in the chamber. The police start banging on the door, and shockingly, Holmes turns the gun on himself and blasts his own brains out.

A cutscene unfolds of Holmes’ burial and Watson’s solo journey to find answers.

The Sewers

Go backwards until you see a rope in the water. Pull it several times to find a body weighed down by an anchor. Pull up one final time to get a Hook and Rope.

Head forward and inspect the cigarette on the ground. It’s still dry despite the damp surroundings. Continue on and inspect the rusty ladder. Get the Ladder Rung (Watson is insanely brave to even be in this Godforsaken place). Next, pick up the Rusty Metal Bar. Keep moving on down the way and pick up the length of Wire.

Look across the water and use the Hook and Rope on the boat there. Now, look at the ground and click on the hand that appears at the water’s edge to pull up a service door. Inside your inventory, combine all 3 of your remaining items. Ladder Rung + Rusty Metal Bar + Wire = Long Iron Bar. Use your new item on the service door.

Walk onto the boat and pick up both an Old Scarf and a Piece of Iron. Continue onto the other side of the sewers and look at the recent footprints on the ground. Run down the path until Watson automatically stops. Look at the grate on the ground.

Puzzle time!

Check out the grate.

Another shocking twist!! WHAT????

Ugh. And those darn kids again. Seriously. This story is NOT appropriate for children of those ages, WTH. Omg. What. The kids are Holmes’ and Watsons’s grandkids? What?? Anyways, on with the story.

Holmes explains how he faked his own death (“Curare, hemlock, a few Indian plants and sheep’s blood to create the impression of death… A pathologist who owed me a favour, for the death certificate“) to continue the investigation unnoticed, and how he can’t possibly be the leader of the thugs because, damn it, would thugs beat up their own boss? He’s in a bad way and can’t even walk on his own. They head back to Baker Street. Good thing Watson is a doctor (even if he never seems to be working much in that capacity)!

221B Baker Street – 7

Turns out Watson couldn’t stay in his own apartment after it all went down because it was too awful. Holmes tells him to have a seat, because here comes the truth!

Truth

• Professor Moriarty from the Swiss Asylum during the Case of the Awakened. He’s the bad guy.
• Responsible for the Bishop’s murder. The Bishop had something that would be instrumental in compromising Moriarty’s grand plan. The day before they found the bishop’s body, his trusted nephew (the autistic kid) brought him something that explained Moriarty’s plan. The two of them argued about telling Holmes. Moriarty learned that the bishop knew, and they went to torture him, but they couldn’t open the safe to retrieve it. Turns out the document implicated the Prince of Woodville. The nephew worked in the Royal Archives and was able to snag it.
• Moriarty’s Plan: Overthrow the Queen of England and place the Prince on the throne.
• They had to do it stealthily, so they started by provoking a famine so that the Prince’s soup kitchens would put him in the people’s good graces while they decried the Queen
• When Sherlock Holmes started sniffing about, Moriarty knew he was the only one capable of messing up the whole operation, so he created a plan to discredit and falsely incriminate Holmes of crimes. Holmes played along on purpose
• Watson asks why Holmes didn’t alert Scotland Yard. Holmes replies that Inspector Lestrade was gone for many weeks and replaced by Inspector Baynes who was working for Moriarty.
• Baynes had access to all the police documents and was able to mess with all the documents regarding Judge Beckett’s house and also the theft of Samoan Necklace was done by him.
• Judge Beckett went to Farley’s office to obtain all the false information where they both realized they were only instruments in Moriarty’s schemes.
• Judge Beckett was shipped a massive load of papers regarding all the “charges” against Holmes, while Farley could not resist, as a journalist, making headlines even with the fake information.
• The reason Judge Beckett was killed was because he was getting ready to find out that the information Farley had (as provided by and doctored by Inspector Baynes) were all false.
• About the poison: When applied to the bishop, it was experimental and too potent to be useful. By the time Kurtz was involved, it had been improved by no longer being fatal. Before Kurtz, it had been “tested” by Moriarty on many innocent victims (e.g. the convent, the orphanage, etc.). No one’s sure yet of what result Moriarty wanted with the poison, but everyone it was applied to died.
• Holmes released Hans Schielman because Moriarty needed him to perfect the poison. Unfortunately, Moriarty’s thugs got to him first. Holmes knew that they wouldn’t take him to their hideout. Using Holmes’ “Secret Police (aka. street urchins)” he was able to follow the trail of the 3 Russian brothers to their place at the watermill.
• The answer to Moriarty’s hideout would be in the attic of the watermill, but Inspector Baynes turned up. Holmes killed Baynes which worked out as he had just murdered a Scotland Yard Inspector, making him London’s most-wanted man. Faking his own death allowed him to investigate under the radar.

Tl;dr – Professor Moriarty is the bad guy who was responsible for the murders, the famine, the poison, and Holmes’ defamation and false charges, with thugs everywhere, even in high-ranking positions in Scotland Yard. His goal is to depose the Queen and put Prince Woodville as ruler. End Goal: Take over Europe and the World

Moriarty’s Hideout? In an abandoned fun-fair on the outskirts of London. Both Schielman and the Prince of Woodville ought to be there, too.

Abandoned Fun-Fair

Run down the path (nothing to be done backwards) until you reach the fire in the barrel. Pick up the Iron Bar. Keep going up to the cable car. Inspect the motor and remove cap for both tanks. Looks like you’ll need both oil and petrol. Of course. Inspect the square hole between the 2 tanks and Holmes will prompt that the motor needs a crank.

Take the Pliers from the toolbox on the ground and inspect both the stuck ladder and the stuck lever. Walk onto the car. Use your Knife on the roped box to get a Bottle of Oil. On the side of the car next to the lever, use the Iron Bar on the locked box to get a Crank.

Keep going down the path and pick up the Vodka from the next fire barrel. If you try to go forward, Holmes will turn around to not arouse the attention of the guards (despite the insanely loud sound when you run. Guards must be deaf). Return to the cable car. Use the Vodka in the petrol/gas tank, the Bottle of Oil on the oil tank, and the Crank in the hole.

You’re splitting up!

Now you’re playing Watson. Looks like you’re stronger than Holmes. That lever was no issue. Watch yourself slowly move over to the rooftop, then move forward.

Pick up Piece of Rope x3 from the sack on the ground next to the water tank, next to the fire barrel, and next to the circular hole from which you see a line of horse drawn soup carts. Head up the ladder, pick up the Dry Duster and check out the door on the side of the water tank. Go back down.

Head across to the metal stairs and descend. You can walk around if you’d like, but there’s nothing to do and you’re unable to continue with the guard around the corner. Pick up the Empty Bottle from the ground next to the window. Try to look through the window. It’s too dirty. Try your Dry Duster. Watson complains that the rag is too dry. Go on back up to the water tank. Inside your bag, combine the 3 Pieces of Rope to get a Tied Rope. Attach that to the Empty Bottle and use the newly combined Attached Empty Bottle on the water tank. Combine your Water Bottle with the Dry Duster for a Wet Duster. Woo. Head back down and use your new item on the factory window.

Wait. You have to do it manually? Fine.

Ooooo! Somehow no one sees you peeping through the newly cleaned window, and you deduce that they’ve added Hans Schielman’s poison into the soup carts destined for London! The curs!

Swap players! You play Holmes now.

Look at the fence ahead of you and then the box on the ground. Not large enough! Head back and pick up the Iron Ladder that was under the cable car earlier. Set it up haphazardly on the crate, and climb up. Use the Pliers on the barbed wire where someone had, clearly, once gone through it and get inside.

First, go straight forward and pick up the Giraffe-Shaped Target from the ground. Then, inspect the telephone line in the back right corner of the area. Next, head into the tent. Inspect the bed. Inspect the account book. Press the book to close it and use the available knife towards the spine.

Get the Secret Accounts which record some illicit dealings and also some text about a gazelle and a lion. Next up, pick up the Lion-Shaped Target from atop the wardrobe. Go through to the other side. Inspect and add the 2 Targets to the mini game. Look at the poster below and use your Knife on it. Turn around and read the Note in Pencil. Clearly, it’s another poem for the Target puzzle behind you, so you need to find the last target. Where is it? Check out the cash register there. Well, well… Place the Monkey-Shaped Target on the game for the PUZZLE!

You get Wads of Banknotes for your trouble.

Head out of the tent. Holmes wants to discreetly take the guard out of commission (Note: if you go too far, the guard will see you and you restart in the tent). Instead of going right, head left next to the fence and open the door there into the service passage of the menagerie. Head to the left. You can’t do anything with the first-aid box yet, so check out each room in turn, noting that the guard can be seen and heard as you inspect. The very last door opens into a cage that is fully blocked from the view of anyone outside the bars. Check out the large syringe, old bandages, then pick up the Key from the ground. Go use it on the first-aid box at the end of the hall and pick up the Bottle of Ether. Again, Holmes states that he wants to discreetly take out the guard to not attract others’ attention.

If you head back to the last room, you will see 2 places to put some bait for the guard. What better bait than… MONEY. Place Banknotes on all 5 of the highlighted areas inside and outside the building. Watch the thug follow the money trail, then wander down the hall and close the door. Use the Bottle of Ether on the little window to knock out the very dumb guard.

Head down the new path and pick up the Rope. You’ll encounter another guard which you need to trap again. Go into the door that’s in front of you and start investigating: the bearded lady, the boxes of bottles, the aquarium, the Mermaid, the occupied cage, the man in the cage who’s been poisoned, the other cage. Pick up the Part of a Crank from the chair next to the crates of bottles and turn around to check out the pole. Use the Crank on the mechanism and then operate it. Use the Rope to connect the hook to the top of the cage. Using the conveniently crates, walk up onto the stage and check out the table there.

You’ll find chemistry material and Hans’ Diary on top (a horrific, yet enlightening, read), and a Note from the Funfair’s Director (H Fergusson? Things are tying together, here!) in the drawer. You find a clue that the bearded lady held the keys! Go check out her poster near the door. The Key is in her shoulder.

Armed with this, mayhaps it’s time to attract the guard? Turn around and knock over the boxes with the bottles.

You’re now outside. Head over to the door and lock it with the Key. Head left to the window behind the caged man. Unleash the zombie and rest assured (or disappointed?) that there was no immediate carnage. Run down the newly opened path for a cutscene.

Watson! They discuss the problem (Moriarty planning to unleash a horde of bonafide zombies into London to wreak havoc for 48 hours so that he can take over the throne and resulting in mass casualties) and a solution (blowing up the water tank so that it takes out the factory). Then Holmes marvels over the… Merry-Go-Round (I think the antenna on it is what fascinates him, but the game is so dark, I can’t be sure)?

Heading towards the caravans, go into the washroom and investigate the vodka. Check out the carriage next door to the washroom. It’s locked, but there’s a ladder on the side, and you can walk on the beams to look in the window. Those anarchist Russian brothers! The next caravan is empty and locked, but the last one is not. Go into the unoccupied one to get a Metal Plate and Propaganda Tract. Check out the wanted poster with the brothers on it. Continue onto the rest of the path and go into the theater.

There you see Woodville practicing his coronation speech. As he doesn’t know them, Holmes immediately fakes his identity. Woodville slips that there will be bombs detonated during the coup d’état.

Talk to him and talk about “Anarchists.” (Note: If you didn’t peep in on the 3 Russian Brothers, this will not trigger until you do). He tells you that the Russian brothers created the bombs set all over London. Woodville is very much against the idea, but Moriarty wanted it.

“Bomb in the Theatre” option is not correct. “Moriarty Betrayed you” and “Let’s Warn Moriarty” will trigger the prince to point a gun at Watson and Holmes will try to save him. Head towards the door and the red rope now can be removed. Conveniently, Woodville’s vision is cut off from your movements. Check out the bundle of ropes on the stage for a PUZZLE!

When you finish, the curtain falls on Woodville and he… passes out…? Pull the lever to keep him silenced after he wakes up.

Run back to the stage and take the Diamond Ring, then turn to the right and take the Magician’s Belt from the red dummy.

Head back to the caravan with the brothers in it. In your inventory, use the Knife on the Magician’s Belt to split it up into Magician’s Powder and Leather Belt. Use the Magician’s Powder on the broken pipe outside the window, then top it with the Metal Plate. Close the door on the brothers, then remove the Metal Plate. You can go in now! Check out the dictionary, the little hangman, and dynamite shells. Pick up the Saw, the Letter to the Anarchists, and the Wire. Now, check out the dictionary next to the door and… PUZZLE

Armed with the plan, first grab the Ladders x2 from the nearby caravans using the Saw. go back to the carousel and down the stairs towards it. Check out the control panel on the carousel itself. Look at the door to the big building there. If you go around the rights side, you can check out the telephone cable that attaches to the box near the entrance to the place, but you can’t go in. Instead, head to the left. In your inventory, combine the 2 Ladders then use the Wire on them to make a Large Ladder. Set it up aaaaaand minor puzzle.

Ugh. This level is so LONG. It must be the last level… They’re always like this.

Minimal does it. Cut the right places on the window bars and then use the diamond ring in the right place.

Now you control Watson.

Somehow the ladder is broken. Head back to the carriages. Go into the one the 3 brothers were in and check out the lard and the overheating stove. Take the Rag and the Key behind it. Use the Rag to open the stove. Turn around and take the Watering Can put out the fire.

NOTE: If you want to learn the 3 brothers’ names, leave and look at the side of the carriage for the name “Alexander.” Check the side of the next carriage to find the name “Alexei,” then repeat on the last carriage for the name “Aleko.”

Now, use the Key on the 2nd carriage. Look inside the Russian dolls for another Key. Check the whittling on the desk, then turn your attention to the chest under the bed. Pull it out and open the lock with the new Key. Take the Bag of Marbles, the Letter in Russian, and a Clock’s Hand. Look at the tops.

Go to the striped building at the end of the way and look at the lock.

Walk inside. Take the Crowbar from the wardrobe and use it on the box next to it to find sticks of dynamite. You can’t do anything with it yet. Look at the table and click on the paper for a puzzle!

Now to assemble the bomb!

Look around the shed for any takeable items, then come back to the worktable and assemble!

Instructions: dynamite > base plate > rod > radio > watch > wires > bottle > crank

When you’re done, turn the crank. Whoops! Take the bomb, then go to the carousel, and use it on the controls there for… a particularly obnoxious and unforgiving memory puzzle. Just do your best

Now, run to the right of the haunted house and use the Bag of Marbles on the window there.

Now you play as Holmes.

Turning left, look at the paintings, the book, and take the Key from the small table. Look at the chest on the ground and open it for Act of Transfer and a Metal Core from the doll’s head. Open the wardrobe and take out Bedsheet x2. Turn your attention to the glass cabinet with the rifle inside. Holmes wants to force the lock by using the Metal Core.

Inspect the rifle, then take the Oilcan. Go out the door and watch the cutscene… So… it seems that Moriarty isn’t the mastermind after all, but a hired thug? Take the Planks x5 from the bookshelf and head down the hall. If you inspect the railing (check the bookshelf if you want to), there are 2 places to tie a rope to go down into the haunted house maze and one place to put one of the Planks. In the inventory, combine the Bedsheets for a Cloth Rope. Attach it to one of the 2 rope points (it doesn’t matter which) and go down. Use the Oilcan on the gears next to the wooden panel and push it forward.

Climb back up the rope, and now you can add the 2nd Plank.

Continue forward, placing Planks until you reach the other side. You will have to turn around and remove one to place the last board in the last spot

Note: I apologize: I’m not sure if you have to move any other panels aside from the first one because I moved all kinds of stuff before I did it. If you do, then go down into the maze and change the panels around. It’s not terribly difficult, even for someone spatially challenged like me.

Head down the hall to the only door (your destination!) and use the Key to open it. Head in and check the shutter if you wish but pick up the phone. You’ll talk to Inspector Lestrade who is understandably wary of you. After the cutscene, open the shutters.

Back on the ground now and with a solid plan, head over to the carousel control panel. Use the Telephone on the telephone box, then turn your attention to the control panel.

Success!! Wait. The bomb. We still have to get to the factory to stop those infernal soup carts! And to make it worse, Moriarty himself is going to go to the factory, too!

Head to the big wooden doors. Remove the bar and open it. Thankfully, the guards are gone. Head to the cable car and get in. Oh boy. We’re too late… Moriarty and his thugs have beaten us there and we’re still hanging in the middle of nowhere.

Back in control, take the Bucket from the ground. The lever is stuck again. In the inventory, combine the Bucket with the Bomb for a Bomb in a Bucket, and add the Leather Belt to that for a Bomb Ready! Attach it to the rope above the cable car to send slowly it over towards the water tower. The thug runs away, but Moriarty tries to mess with it instead of throwing it overboard (though, perhaps he’s too weak because Watson who seems extra strong did say it’s really heavy) but runs off eventually.

Use the Knife on the corner toggle holding the wooden panel in place, then pull the emergency lever.

Watch the fireworks across the way. You’re both convinced that the lackluster display killed everyone.

Go back through the wooden doors to the haunted house. Head left and try to enter the door except… Moriarty is still alive and raging at you with a gun.

Holmes asks him one question: “Is Schielman immune to his own poison?” which stuns Moriarty long enough for…

Cutscene! You watch as zombie Schielman attacks Moriarty’s throat, though he manages to shoot the monster. In his dying breath, he begs Holmes to take the mysterious “her/she.”

Well. Let’s find out who this is!! Go through the door.

It’s… a kid…?

Watch the ending.

After that creepy way Holmes carries and looks at the girl out of the haunted house, he apparently raised her as a father. Those kids are supposed to be her children.

GAME OVER!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Overall Thoughts

As a whole, I quite liked that game. I’d think about it on occasion when I wasn’t playing (it took me how long? October to February to finish it?) which is usually a good sign. The graphics are good, and the voice acting is top notch for the main characters. It has intrigue and plot twists that really make you hang on. The creators did an amazing job with Sherlock Holmes himself, perfectly capturing his personality and quirks. Not too far into the game, I realized that he’s highly likely on the autism spectrum. Asperger’s for sure. However, I found the game to be rather gruesome which, while it lines up with the M rating, is rather… inappropriate…? when you realize that super young kids aged 5ish to 12ish are reading the story. Hopefully the account didn’t have pictures or diagrams because that would be enough to scar young children. Perhaps they’re made of tougher stuff than I think, but daaang. Torture? Mutilation? Cannibalistic zombies? Drug use? Suicide by shot to head?? Anarchy/terrorism! The puzzles were creative. I’ve played many puzzle games and after a while puzzles get kind of repetitive through different games. There were some very interesting ones here. Even though I took ill (since I was writing this while I played, some of the words and phrases I ended up utilizing were directly inspired by the British dialogue) after the dog at the docks part, which put me off of playing for several weeks, I made it! The only other gripe I have is the dark coloring of the game. Why are things so dim? I’m excited to play the other 2 games in the bundle I got, so stay tuned for more game guides!
