Hey everybody, my name is Sergey, I’m part
of Frogwares, and here is our latest project
- Sherlock Holmes Chapter One - a story-driven
detective thriller, that will explore Sherlock’s
very first case.
In this game you will play as the young Holmes,
you will see what drove him to come back to
the place of his youth, and help pave the
way for him to become that world-famous detective
that we now know him for.
Chapter One is a single-player detective game,
which takes place on an open world Mediterranean
island at the end of the 19th century.
To an outsider - especially from the West
- this island seems like paradise, with colorful
scenery, fascinating architecture and exotic
people.
It’s a world full of rich history, places
of interest to discover and mysteries to untangle.
This island is a promise - a promise of adventures
and leaving your mundane life and troubles
behind.
However, playing as Sherlock - a British stranger
- you’ll quickly realize that this paradise-like
life is just a facade.
Once you peek inside, the illusion breaks,
and you’ll see that the urban veneer of
order and decorum hides too many dark secrets.
This island is a world of crime, a world of
social and economic inequality, where the
law is nothing more than pretty big words.
The islanders are too eager to take justice
into their own hands, with police turning
a blind eye for the convenience of the local
overlords.
This is the perfect school
and playground for an aspiring detective like
yourself.
A place where a legend can be born.
While exploring the island, you will investigate
some truly bewildering cases.
Why does an elephant have to face a trial
against a mob of angry people?
Or why are these revenge pillars allowed on
the island?
Each knife stuck in the pillar is a symbol
of vengeance being served.
And with each passing day, more and more pillars
appear in the city.
As Sherlock, you will have to find an approach
to each social group that’s living in their
part of the island.
Whether you are dealing with the British Empire,
the Venetians or the Ottoman descendants,
you will have to use your wits, intuition,
and skills to gain the info and clues that
you need to solve the mysteries and cases.
We hope that you liked this glimpse into the
world of Sherlock Holmes Chapter One.
Our game will be coming in 2021 to both PC
