Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One

Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One is an open-world detective adventure in which you play a young Sherlock on the verge of adulthood. On a Mediterranean island in the 19th century, you investigate your past and decide how to handle each case, using deduction, deception or violence. Your choices shape your legacy as you become the man behind the legend.

The island

The island is vibrant, but far from a paradise. Political corruption and crime are widespread, while its people hold to tradition and distrust outsiders, making investigations more difficult. Islanders have their own views of truth and justice, and you decide whether revealing the truth will do more harm than good—and how those decisions shape Sherlock.

Investigate the city

You search the city for clues and rumors, using disguises and tags to pursue leads. You pin evidence and bring it together in your mind palace to build a case. Your mysterious companion Jon serves as a sounding board, though who he really is remains a question.

Handle each encounter

You can use force or rely on observation and wits. Spot enemies’ vulnerabilities or use the environment to take them down while keeping your hands clean; weapons can help when you are in a pinch. How you approach each situation is up to you.
