Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper - preview

Developer: Frogwares
Release year: 2009
Genre: Adventure, first person and third person point and click

Year 1888, Autumn. Whitechapel. Drunk men, illegal dealers, ill people, policemen, prostitutes for everyone, a little too used 'thou, are wondering on the gray foggy cold and dark streets. Great atmosphere, I might say. A crime took place, a prostitute was killed and Sherlock Holmes can't retain from doing a little research.


Features:
  • you can play from first person and third person perspective
  • you can play from both Sherlock perspective and Watson's
  • like other games from this series you have to make to draw conclusions using several clues. Now you have a 'Deduction Board' that helps you reproduce the context of the murders

I have played the demo, game looks promising, I might play this one, although I kind of dislike Sherlock Holmes' calm.
