  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is praised for its thematic appropriateness, drawing strong parallels to the soundtrack of the 2009 Sherlock Holmes film, which effectively captures the atmosphere of Victorian London.

    • “Graphics, text, and even music work together quite atmospherically to capture the feeling of late 19th century London.”
    • “My only complaints are some of the mini-games are not explained well, had to constantly reset the music/sounds when I restarted, and it would be good to add achievements.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have been criticized for appearing dated, resembling early 2000s visuals rather than those expected from a 2020 release.

    • “Graphics, text, and even music work together quite atmospherically to capture the feeling of late 19th century London.”
    • “The music is not annoying and the graphics are good (some hidden objects are a bit small sometimes).”
    • “Dated graphics for a 2020 release, closer to the early 2000s.”
    • “The graphics resemble the early 2000s, not a 2020 release (clarification is needed if it's an early 2000s game).”
    • “As with most mobile ported HOGs, there's a simplistic interface, locked/unchangeable screen resolution, next to no customizability, and somewhat low resolution graphical assets.”
