A seemingly simple case of missing persons quickly turns into a network of conspiracies run by a cult that worships Cthulhu and tries to fulfill ancient prophecies.

In the trailer, you’ll see how the game will play out across multiple countries and continents. Also caught a glimpse of some of the tools and tricks Sherlock uses in his arsenal to learn the truth.

You’ll need to use his imagination to piece together key moments in the crime, interrogate suspects to get the information you need, and connect clues to create possible theories to pursue. You’ll also solve sanity-questioning puzzles and sequences that will slowly sink your mind deeper into destruction as you approach the truth that humans will never have to understand.

There are even times when Sherlock has gone so far that you’ll play Watson trying to bring your friend back from the brink.
