- Into the Unknown We Go | Sherlock Holmes The Awakened Kickstarter Campaign Goes - 5 August 2022
Dear friends, The moment is finally upon us. We've launched our Kickstarter! As of now, you can be part of Sherlock Holmes The Awakened history. Right now you can make a pledge and score yourself some really unique rewards. We have a collection of digital prizes, discounts, and you can even be included in the game too. If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of our Sherlock Holmes or a Lovecraftian game’s world, now is your chance. To mark the occasion, we’re thrilled to share with you our Sherlock Holmes The Awakened reveal trailer. In this first official footage, we show a young Holmes and Watson fleeing for their lives.

- Sherlock Holmes The Awakened revealed. Kickstarter incoming. - 29 July 2022
Hello everyone, We hope that you are safe and well. If you are following our social media channels, you might have noticed that we are working on our next game, which is Sherlock Holmes The Awakened. Some time ago we teased our new project as Project Palianytsia. Now we can officially say that our next game is the full from-the-ground-up remake and substantial rewrite of Sherlock Holmes The Awakened - a dark, HP Lovecraft-inspired story infused with the narrative arc of a young Sherlock Holmes taking on his first big case. To say we are excited about this game is an understatement. As much as we love a good mystery, we also love the idea of having one of the greatest minds lose control. The Awakened remake sees a young Sherlock take on his first major case alongside his newly acquainted sidekick, John Watson. What seems like a straightforward case of a missing person quickly spirals int…

- Sherlock Holmes Chapter One | Combat Deep Dive Trailer - 30 September 2021

To give you a further glimpse of how the game plays, we’ve prepared another trailer for you to check out. This time we wanted to give you a deeper dive into the game’s combat. Although smart, Sherlock is certainly not a gun-toting superhero maniac. He must use his wits and brains in battle the same way as he does when solving a crime. If the time to fight comes, look closely and find your opponent’s weak spots, take advantage of the environment itself, or use your snuff box to daze them if they come too close to stun them to gain an advantage. Remember though, Sherlock’s strongest weapon is his mind. Work clever, not hard. Killing is a last resort. If you do decide to gun down your foes, expect to hear about it from your companion Jon. It might impact how he perceives yo…

Dear Sherry, Our adventure to Cordona draws ever closer, and I, for one, cannot wait to see what mischief we can bring to that little island.
