Become the great and powerful Oz, no wait, the great and wise Sherlock Holmes! Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments has six cases with five suspect each, who did it, will you send an innocent person to the gallows, you’ll only have the clues and your wits to find the guilty party, hope you chose wisely!
How will you know just what the suspects have been up to? It’s not just elementary it’s investigation! Look at a man and deduce with your own eyes if they are lying or telling you the truth, try and shake them up and get them to spill the beans. Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is coming to PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on Sept 30th 2014.
Between this and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter I’m liking this return to some higher profile adventure titles. Let me poke around for clues, make my own decisions and live with the fact that maybe I just like the real killer walk right out of the room. I don’t think Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments is revolutionary but it looks like it could be fun putting our thinking caps and smoking jackets on for a bit.

PRESS RELEASE
SHERLOCK HOLMES CRIMES & PUNISHMENTS’ INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES SHOWCASED IN A NEW RAW GAMEPLAY TRAILER
His skills, your wits!
Not content with merely examining crime scenes, Sherlock Holmes in Crimes & Punishments – your new investigation game for PS4®, PS3®, Xbox One®, Xbox 360® and PC from Frogwares coming on September 30th – showcases a unique set of skills aimed at cataloguing facts about a person by their appearance, which may raise doubts about their claims and stories.
Re-evaluating clues gained from interrogations, physical evidence, observations and crime-scenes will unlock further paths of deduction, and lead to more clues and dialogue options. During interrogation scenes, you’ll be able to interject, and support your argument by selecting the piece of evidence that supports your case. Successfully doing so will leave the suspect astounded, and they’ll soon crumble in the face of Holmes’ skills, and your wits, eventually revealing more information about the case.
Across six unique cases, you’ll meet up to five suspects per investigation, all of whom could logically be connected to the crime, enough to have committed it. Each suspect can be convicted, and in some cases suspects can be convicted together, so it’s imperative that detectives develop an understanding of the characters and their backgrounds to supplement information gained from examining crime scenes, in order to build the clearest picture from which to deduce the most likely culprit.
Crimes and Punishments is coming to the PS4®, PS3®, Xbox One®, Xbox 360®, and PC, from September 30th.
About Crimes & Punishments
Crimes & Punishments marks the most important stage in the Sherlock Holmes series. The decision by Frogwares studios to switch from the in-house engine to the Epic Unreal Engine 3 enables a much richer, more immersive and detailed rendering of both the environments and characters.
But the change of game engine has not only improved the graphics; new investigation techniques have been developed and the game can now offer 14 game mechanics. From the opening of each of the six investigations up to the arrest of the culprits and the moral dilemmas faced by the players, the new game mechanics convey the feeling of BEING Sherlock Holmes. Players will therefore be able to exploit the incredible gifts and talents for which he is renowned, such as his ability to guess the details of an individual’s life simply by observing them, or to imagine and reconstruct a past event by studying the key features of a crime scene.
