Mark Jones — September 7, 2009. As a fan of the literary Sherlock Holmes (read all the stories, been to the museum at 221b Baker Street and have the keyring to prove it), I was keen to check out , a Nintendo DS port of Frogwares’ first Sherlock Holmes game. I played the 2003 original on PC and had mixed feelings about the game at the time.

According to A Lovecraft meets Sherlock Holmes crossover, The Awakened puts you up against the legendary Cthulhu Mythos. Investigate a series of mysterious disappearances, apparently linked to a dark cult that worships an Ancient God. Whatever their plan is, you must put a stop to it… or face unspeakable consequences.
There is no way for the audience to have done that – we are held at bay, as though we were a magician’s audience rather than the detective’s companion. Frogwares’ Sherlock Holmes games
