是的，世界果然是一个环，绕了一遭又回到最初的原点。她忽然问，那最后要找寻的东西是什么。我一时答不上来，只觉兜兜转转，最初的寻宝兴致已然淡了。谁知道最后的信物究竟是什么。但在搬开一枚岩块后她惊讶。放大镜。是母亲的。我也没想到会在这座小岛的最南端找到母亲留下的回忆。寻找记忆的日子固然精彩，心力交瘁也是难免的。而沿着大海兜圈的日子是人生中少有的松弛。她说，若能一直这样寻寻觅觅，其实也已经够幸福。又说，那不如先去享受这片刻的假期吧？碧蓝无垠的海，正午的阳光，桥上马蹄声声，沙滩金黄耀眼。她在公园秋千上坐着，一页页翻开书页。随你吧。或许旅程本身的价值，已远远超过母亲当年留下的那些纪念品。她教我的，关于这个世界是如何由各种小事物组成的，以及当你仔细观察这些事物的时候奇迹是如何产生的。为什么所谓的“名著”故事大多是催泪的，大概总是一个信字使然吧。

This is such a 6/10 game.

The moment I saw that the game is in open-world format, I was really excited, but so many hours here were wasted going between 5-6 locations back and forth.

Most cases were too easy to solve, and most cases even threw the solution at your face.

I liked older Sherlock games more, where I actually had to think quite hard before making the decision of who to accuse, but the game here just makes 90% of the decisions for you.

Devs did go towards a better direction, but they are far from what they can do with the formula.

I absolutely loved this game. The open world was such a joy to explore, and the city itself is full of detail and atmosphere — every street, every corner feels alive. The runtime was perfect too: long enough to get fully immersed, but not dragged out. Even though the enemies were a bit goofy and I didn’t enjoy the combat much (it always feels like these games throw in a little fighting whether you want it or not), none of that took away from what hooked me: the story and the investigations.

The main storyline had me completely invested, and the mix of serious and lighthearted cases along the way made the whole experience feel alive. The writing is sharp, and the back-and-forth with “Watson” was fantastic — it gave the game so much personality and heart.

For me, Chapter One nailed what makes Sherlock Holmes games so great: atmosphere, mystery, and the feeling that every deduction you make really matters. I absolutely love Frogwares for keeping this style of storytelling alive, and I’ll always come back for their work.

Thanks Frogwares! :)
