Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One ‘Detective Gameplay’ trailer
This case won't solve itself.Frogwares has released a new trailer for Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One showcasing the game’s detective gameplay.
Here are the latest details, via Frogwares:
- Sweep for Clues – Finding clues at the scene of the crime is detective work 101. In Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One however, know that you can miss crucial clues and the game won’t hold you back. It’s up to you to decide when and if you have everything.
- Suspect Identified – Every case needs a suspect. How you identify them early one (correctly or incorrectly) plays out on how the suspect will treat you going forward.
- Use a Disguise – The locals don’t wanna talk to you? Well, no surprise—you’re new to the island and not to be trusted. But maybe a clever disguise will trick them into trusting you. Acquire various outfits throughout the island and then use your intuition and clues to figure out what disguise to put on to start getting answers. The game will never tell you what disguise to use so expect a few snide remarks if you put on the wrong outfit.
- Look at this Evidence – Got a piece of evidence you think someone really ought to know something about? The Evidence Pinning system lets you take any clue and present it to any person to see if they know something. With the right evidence in hand and some sound logic of who to ask, you should come out with an answer or two.
- Piece It All Together – The Mind Palace is where it all comes together. The clues you have uncovered will be here and let you string together your theories of what really went down. Whether you are right or wrong is all down to you as the game won’t block you from making the wrong choice.
- A One-Man Judge and Jury – On the island of Cordona, not everything is equal, so what constitutes a crime to some might be right in the eyes of others. It’s up to you to decide. Make your judgment based on what you believe is true and right and live with the consequences.
Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on November 16, followed by PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at a later date.
