Game Description
Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One, also known as Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, takes you back to the early days of the famous detective. You’re playing a young Sherlock on a Mediterranean island full of secrets, puzzles, and local drama. If you’re into mystery and open-world adventure, this one might catch your eye. Ever wondered how Sherlock got started? Here’s your chance to find out.
What’s the Game About?
So, Sherlock returns to his family’s island after years away. Sounds simple, right? Not quite. Your job is to dig through class tensions, tricky locals, and dark secrets. It’s not your run-of-the-mill detective story. You’ll spend time exploring, investigating, and making choices that actually change how things play out.
Gameplay Highlights

- Complete around 30 side missions to break up the main story
- Use charm, deduction, and disguise to crack tough investigations
- Pin clues on your screen for easy tracking during cases

Need a challenge? You got it. Puzzle-solving is a big part of the game, and sometimes you have to get creative. Also, lesson learned: always carry a spare sword. You never know when things get rough.
How Long Does It Take?
Expect the main story to take about 12 to 15 hours. If you’re a completionist and go after all side content, it can easily stretch beyond 40 hours. Plenty of sleuthing to keep you busy.
Graphics and Sound
The island looks pretty good with detailed 3D graphics. It’s not just a backdrop; the scenery adds to the mood between investigations. The sound design, including voice acting, helps pull you into the story without going over the top.
