I started a playthrough of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2008).
Earlier this year I did play through the 2023 remake of it, and I wanted to go back and see how the (almost) original game was.
I’m now through the first chapter of the 2008-version, and so far… it’s pretty great! Admittedly I did few .ini tweaks to fix it for widescreen & 4k, it works fine (even if some characters/assets on the very edges of the viewport can blink in/out a bit). Too bad the 2008 version has fixed the “creepy Watson” teleporting, but oh well, at least I don’t get unnescessarily jumpscared.
Other than that, the graphics are quite dated, but they have certain charm. The puzzles seem fairly reasonable, if a bit pixel-hunt-y at times. The vibes are great all around though!
