Case closed on "The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel"!

So much detail in these scenes...

After finding the culprits behind the murder of Sarah Carroway in The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel, I was led to a pawn shop. It didn't take long for the owner to spill the beans. This led me to the offices of a couple of private investigators who also got entangled in the Carroway case. 

Is it African or Indian?

Too bad for them, though, as I discovered after a visit to the zoo trying to find one of them, and tracking the other one down at a subway station. Suffice to say the case got an even darker edge and started to cost innocent lives. And if that wasn't enough, suddenly we also got a suicide on our hands! Filled with remorse, the person responsible for all the trouble in this story decided to take his own life after we discovered the truth. 

Plenty of drama in this game...

Then it took quite some searching and putting a couple of details together to finally discover where the missing Anna Carroway was. I must admit I was kinda stuck there at first, having exhausted all options, missing the next lead because I couldn't immediately connect the dots. But everything turned out alright in the end.

Took me long enough to find this place...

As far as I can tell, The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel isn't currently available for purchase anywhere, though you CAN vote to put it on GOG!

My next playthrough will most likely be of a recent game again, about some guy who keeps getting killed over and over again or something...

"The Beekeeper's Picnic" - my Adventure Game Hotspot review!


Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot!

Excerpt: "Its little blemishes show there’s still room for improvement, but these are more than made up for by the beautiful artwork, funny writing, and audiobook-quality voice cast. While the puzzles don’t hold much challenge, the writer’s commitment to providing unique and funny responses add even more charm to this cozy point-and-click adventure. Just be sure to set your expectations accordingly: Sherlock Holmes is retired here, after all, so don’t expect a dazzling mystery with blood spatters all over the place. Instead it’s the tale of a man finally trying to show his appreciation for his dear friend after years of rudeness and neglect. The story won’t go into the annals of literature with The Hound of the Baskervilles or A Study in Scarlet, but if you are in the mood for some lighthearted fun, The Beekeeper’s Picnic is good for a cozy afternoon of breezy adventuring with some honeyed tea and biscuits."
